y now I, perhaps unreasonably, expected Obama to have been making the case to the public for a significant military downsizing. I find myself in the somewhat odd position of defending decisions I'm not happy about but here goes, nonetheless. On Obama and Afghanistan, I don't think any of us should be surprised, however disappointed we might be. He campaigned on increasing troop strength (implicit but barely so) in Afghanistan, and kept saying it during the early months. The best we can hope for is (a) a withdrawal beginning in 2011 and (b) that he's not damaged too much politically by all this.
