The President has been holding back his Afghanistan troop strategy decision, ostensibly to avoid affecting the runoff election there.
Well, it's been 48 hours now since the opposition withdrew and handed the government to Karzai, and still...silence.
So, I guess it becomes more obvious that the elections he doesn't want to affect are the ones here involving the turnout of the Democrat base.
Which means that his priorities are politics first, military issues second.
No surprise here.
