Uh, are people forgetting Obama's recent commitment and plan to send a sh*t load more troops to Afghanistan? He's taken ownership of that war now. It's not as if he's trying to ride the fence on it. It's proven to be an unpopular plan, but he's going through with it. It seems to me, to this point in his short-term presidency, that he's shown he has the chutzpah to do what needs to be done more so than proving he won't do what the issue calls for. People calling him "soft" on issues are still espousing the company line used during the election. Until he actually shows this softness, and no, winning a Nobel Peace Prize that he himself doesn't believe he deserves doesn't count, it's ridiculous to try and "call" him on it.
