Obama to lay out Afghanistan plans

So, president Obama will lay out our war plans tonight, so that the American public will be informed and he may get a bump on his quickly declining rating. That's just great. Did the White House make sure to ask the enemy not to listen in? I mean after all we are in a war in Afghanistan, and we don't want the enemy to know our plans, right? But wait, may be the war plans are being broadcast so that the war will be fair. We don't really want to surprise the enemy, that wouldn't be fair, now would it? Or may be this is the real manifestation of the "fifth column".

It was really interesting to read some comments in various blogs this morning, like... "Our tactics won't be compromised by discussing his vision for the war,... this is better that the previous administration that kept us in the dark..." I don't think I have ever heard a more moronic assessment :-( So, providing information about the war , *ANY INFORMATION* does not help the enemy? These bloggers are probably the same people that feel all information should be available, and something like inside trading is not really a problem - it's just releasing information about the plans of a company, right? No crime in that. Nobody will use that information to their advantage

And, to make things even worse, the President's speech is bumping Charlie Brown's Xmass Classic, which was scheduled to air at 8:00 pm. Whoever ever heard of something like this before!

As another blogger put it, "It's Obama's world, we're just living in it."
