I chose the article entitles " Obama's War". I chose this article because of my military experience I thought I would be more qualified to analyze something I am familiar with, and I was curious to see what was considered to be Obamas war. After reading the first few pages however it became clear that the articles title was intended to grab your attention rather then discuss any of the President's policies or strategies for the conduct of the war in Afghanistan. Michael Hasting's article was very well written and had a lot of good credible opinions from several sources in the Military and former Head of the Bin Laden unit of the CIA Michael Scheur. The other topic that intrigued me was " Re-thinking the American Dream" but I decided to stay with the first one I picked because of my curiosity and the name dropping in the title.
