You should be asking Obama why he committed to the idea and is now stalling and why he considers the non-crisis of health care to be more important than making a decision about Afghanistan one way or the other.

He was very vocal about Afghanistan and now's he's stalling and trying to vote present.

Just another Obama ploy.

Oh Bummer! Take the 20,000 troops from somewhere else? Iraq maybe? Germany? Japan? South Korea? After over 50 years why can't the South Koreans defend themselves? Most South Koreans want US troops out of their half of the country any way. The other half of the country definitely want US troops out of the southern half of their country too. So why are we still there? I think it would make things very interesting in deed if we left. If we took US troops out from between two waring parties with different interest maybe they could work out their differences.

Restrain the growth in non-military spending (which over time has become a bigger and bigger part of the budget) by just a small amount and we'll easily save much more than enough to pay the costs for the 20,000.
