Is An Afghanistan Surrender Imminent?

One has to wonder after reading things like this:

Barack Obama has only spoken to the US Afghanistan Commander once.The Washington Times reported:

The military general credited for capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq says he has only spoken to President Obama once since taking command of Afghanistan.

"I've talked to the president, since I've been here, once on a VTC [video teleconferece]," General Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.

"You've talked to him once in 70 days?" Mr. Martin followed up.

"That is correct," the general replied.

This revelation comes amid the explosive publication of an classified report written by the general that said the war in Afghanistan "will likely result in failure" of more troops are not added next year. Yet, the debate over health care reform continues to dominate Washington's political discussions.

Former U.S. Ambassador for the United Nations John Bolton said this was indicative of President Obama's misplaced priorities.

These are not the actions of a man who is intent on achieving victory in Afghanistan, despite campaigning on that specific victory:

In June 2008, Barack Obama said that it was time for a redeployment from Iraq that "refocuses on Afghanistan and our broader security interests."  In the same speech, he committed to "taking the fight to al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan. … as President, I will make the fight against al Qaeda and the Taliban the top priority that it should be. This is a war that we have to win."

Five months later, Obama won the election and prepared his transition.  That was ten months ago.  If Afghanistan is his "top priority" and "a war that we have to win," wouldn't Obama have carved out a little time in his schedule to meet with the man tasked with winning it more than once since appointing him in June?

Should we be standing by for the imminent surrender...?

Speaking of those misplaced priorities, Barack Obama is going to fly to Copenhagen this week to help push Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympics.

This must be that superior judgment he kept bragging about throughout the campaign.

There's my two cents.
