But what, pray tell, would you have him, as commander and chief of the military, do? Sit in that comfy chair and do nothing? He was responsible for the lives of the men he sent in there. He was responsible to the families of the people whom his target killed. He was responsible to a country that is still reeling from the losses it took 10 years ago. He was responsible for the damage it could do to remainder of his term and the accomplishments that would remain undone. He was responsible to the rest of the soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, knowing that this could do something to hasten their withdrawal from places of danger. He was responsible to his party. He was responsible to his country as a whole in the present and in the future.
That goes with the territory. It's his job. When he decided to run for President, he knew that he'd probably face such decisions. I'm not giving him any brownie points for being brave on this one.
But people like you...who denigrate the responsibility and demands of a president...
I have done no such thing. Shame on you for trying to make this about me.
