Well the 3:00 AM phone call has been made; except it took place during the day. On August 30, 2009 our Commander In Chief, President Barack Hussein Obama was asked by General McCrystal, the general of his choice in Afghanistan, for help.
Did Obama answer the call in seconds, minutes, hours, days or months? The answer is months plus. On Tuesday, Commander In Chief Obama will fly to West Point to provide his official answer to General McCrystal's request. That will be on December 01, 2009; 3 months and two days after the General's initial request for assistance.
Marines react to Obama, from infidelsarecool.comAccording to various Internet writings, Obama will use the future officers as background while he announces a troop buildup followed by his plan for withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
In my opinion, the trip is also to provide Obama camera time in front of a captive audience of West Point Cadets who will be used to waste their time making Obama look good.
Remember any assistance provided McCrystal by Obama is now already burdened by a 3 month, 2 day lag time.
