In this sense, they are merely spectators of American politics and say little that really implicates them. The Financial Times emphasized the political risk that the surge represents for the commander-in-chief with the headline, “Obama gambles his presidency on Afghanistan,” as did Le Monde, both in its news coverage and in an editorial titled...
