That's the timeline since Obama's hand picked general in Afghanistan completed his review and asked for significantly more troops. Almost 25% of all fatalities in the Afghan war will have happened in Obama's first year in office. Yet still he waits, unable to decide what to do. The situation continues to degrade, troops are dying in increasing numbers, and our naive, inexperienced commander in chief is paralyzed into inaction, unwilling to listen to his generals. Obama campaigned on the necessity of the Afghan war, he's been talking about how important it is for at least 2 years, yet now that he is in charge he doesn't know what to do. Probably because it isn't on his teleprompter.
