WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says he'll know by the end of 2010 if his Afghan strategy is working, and he pledges to change direction if the U.S. military is not on course "in terms of securing population centers" from Taliban militants.

Well he went on record saying Bush's "surge" would never work.. and it did. So.. following Obama's pattern of being wrong.. I'm going to think he is going to be wrong... yet again.

Success had better be evident a whole hell of a lot sooner then a year, since he should have never sent more of our soldiers to die in the this cesspool of quicksand in the first place. His Afghanistan policy is a prescription for disaster and failure.He is LBJ deciding if he should escalate the war in South Vietnam and he made the same mistake.

For our soldiers sake I'm going to hope he isn't wrong. Vietnam again?
