Obama waving a Pentagon report at the Joint Chiefs insisting, “I’m not spending a trillion dollars” in Afghanistan. Hamid Karzai is manic depressive. Military leaders under Obama do not respect the Commander in Chief’s right to, well, command. Even before its publication, the wires and the web have been buzzing with tidbits from Bob Woodward’s new book, Obama’s Wars. What else has Woodward learned from the President and his staff about the decision making process leading up to U.S. escalation in Afghanistan and troop drawdown in Iraq? The veteran muckraker pulls back the curtain on Obama’s Oval Office during wartime.
Guest:
