Obama tells troops he will not rush Afghan decision

Obama, the current president of the United states is not going to rush the decision of sending more troops to Afghanistan. Obama is wondering if it is wise to listen to the commander in Afghanistan, Genthe neural Stanley Mc Chrystal who wants to send at least 40,000 more troop! Obama is very pressured at the moment and explains how he will not rush this decision. Every life is important and he will not risk yours unless is absolutely necessary. At the current moment the United states has approximately 65,000 troops in Afghanistan. Obama then goes on to talk about the 14 soldiers who were recently killed in a helicopter crash. In the last couple of months there has been a major increase in the number of soldiers killed. This article explains how Obama is worried that if he sends more troops down to Afghanistan he will be risking lives that were not needed to be risked. The American military says they need more troops but, Obama is not quick to make a decision.
Personally I think Obama needs to make a decision. Obama seems to be staling waiting while the entire military is waiting for a command. I think he has to make his decision quick and either say, "Yes send more troops or no don’t send more troops. I think the time he has wasted thinking about it makes many people think is this the right man for the job?
