i have never seen a presidential decision that is owned so much by this particular president. presents all on their decision, but the facts are that the entire military chain of command from the on scene commander to the chairman t of joint chiefs,o the joint chiefs themselves to the secretary of defense to the director of the cia, to the six other nato nations who had troops in afghanistan, they all told the president do not withdraw, keep our troops there to protect us from the al qaeda and ices in the future. he believed he had a resolution on afghanistan in a way that no one else did, and i believe it was a degree of arrogance. he made that decision defiantly to pull our troops out of there. he owns this decision in a way that no one else does. i agree with mr. schmitz about
