When Europeans think that Obama has become a coward it's something our enemies take note of.
It is to Obama's credit that he has boldly called for an assessment of the situation in Afghanistan after a seven-year US presence there. Nevertheless, as Clausewitz wrote, "courage is not simply a counterweight to danger, to be used for neutralizing its effects: It is a quality on its own," and Obama's administration currently creates the impression that it has been abandoned by courage.
"Abandoned by courage" - what a nice turn-of-phrase. Much nicer than coward.
