In an interview with 'Obama's Wars' author Bob Woodward on Wednesday's CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith sought to defend the President's uncertainty on Afghanistan: "...when he takes over they're already in this war for seven years and what he was not going to do...was give the military a blank check in an open-ended deal, say, 'go do your best.'" Moments before that comment, Smith spun severe…

According to Bob Woodward, Barack Obama is an "intellectual" who has agonized over Afghanistan.

During the segment, it was co-host George Stephanopoulos, who actually pressed Woodward on…
