Times Log Week 3

Wednesday: I was very surprised to learn in today's Times that president Obama has decided to send more troops to Afganistan. This definitely presents a problem because Mr. Obama has also promised to bring home troops from Iraq. It seems that as one problem might be improving, the other is taking a turn for the worst. After denouncing the war in Afganistan for so long I wonder what made Mr. Obama change his mind to send more troops. While some can say that perhaps that situation has to get better before it gets worse, I would argue how much worse can it actually get?
