Just saw a news break on MSNBC, "WH denies reports of Afghan troop increases"

[tridim]

No link, just saw it during a break on Tweety's show.

1. I saw it too. Very interesting. ME thinks they are floating trial balloons.

[Cha]

4. Or the fucking mediawhores are up to their usual tricks..

I think President Obama can decide for himself without stupid "trail balloons".

[Cha]

2. Oh really.

Fucking mediawhores and the gullibles who suck it up, hook line and fucking sinker.

[CBR]

3. Every single time! nt

[Cha]

5. I know, huh? Except for

many here who see right through the shit 'cause they've been paying attention for at least the last 9 years.

15. Endless threads about CBS/ABC confirming... I just went ahead

and accepted it as truth, but I should know better by now.

6. Media Whores

trying to push Obama to send more troops.

[Cha]

7. Anymore word on this, tridim?

It seems to be getting lost in all the hysteria over the mediawhore reportage.

8. Every road has a middle, including the one to hell

Sometimes it just takes a little longer to find it...

10. This administration seems to have mastered the "indeterminate policy"

There always seems to be a few days of confusion before the ultimate tepid decision.

"Fired Up! Ready to..... oh, we aren't going yet?"

11. Gibbs elaborates .....

At tomorrow’s Afghanistan meeting, POTUS will look at FOUR options for a strategy, Gibbs says.

"The president will have the opportunity to discuss four options with his national security team tomorrow," Gibbs says. He knocks down any reports that Obama has already made a decision, saying anybody reporting that "doesn't have, in all honesty, the slightest idea what they're talking about."

"The president's yet to make a decision," Gibbs says. (11:21 a.m.)

When Obama makes his decision on the war, GIbbs says, he "will take time to explain that decision" to the American people.

12. Does the media already have the troops landing onshore?

Which station should we listen to?

[Jennicut]

13. The military is pushing for the increase and will be leaking more stuff as the

date gets closer to an official announcement by Obama. Just a warning.

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. I think the decision has already been made but hasn't been announced, only leaked.

And when it's disclosed that President Obama will send 34,000 more combat troops to Afghanistan, someone in the administration will say it's merely coincidence that the number matches exactly what the speculation was...
