Chicago seems to have lost out on the Olympics. Probably just as well. It seems preparing for the Olympics causes cities to go over budget by quite a bit. With the economy the way it is, this is probably actually a blessing for Chicago.
I guess what I want to know is how many lives did this little trip cost us? The President has been avoiding making a decision about what to do about Afghanistan. His commanders sent in their reports/recommendations weeks ago. If the President decides to win the war there, then he makes half the country angry. If he decides to pull out, he makes the other half angry.
What do leaders do? They make decisions. When this happens someone is always unhappy. True leaders know this, but eventually both sides respect him/her for making the decision. Indecisiveness is never respected.
What will he do? Nothing. If he waits long enough then everyone will want him to bring the troops home. One side will cheer him to bring the troops home, and the other side will tire of the needless deaths and if we aren't going to fight to win they will petition him to bring the troops home.
