The Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth's criticism of Obama's dithering over Afghanistan was probably not wise. However as I said earlier this month the leadership vacuum has put the US's allies in an impossible position. It is almost impossible for the British government or that of any other NATO member to shore up support for staying in Afghanistan if the United States seems to be less than wholly committed to the enterprise.
Either go with the McCrystal plan to increase troop numbers or get out, either decision is better than no decision.

Criticism of Obama from a man whose country is barely capable of replacing its own casualties might seem a little ridiculous in American eyes.
