" Hi, I'm Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight. Will Afghanistan be president Obama's Waterloo? That is the subject of this evening's -- Talking Points. Memo: October, now deadliest month ever in Afghanistan for US -- troops; -- 55 killed so far. It's now been 59 days -- since Commanding General -- Mc Crystal asked for 40000 more troops to provide security to provide in that theater. The request hangs in the air because -- President Obama says he's continuing to assess the situation."

" While I will never hesitate to use force to protect the American people or our vital interests, I also promise you this. And this is very important as we can consider next steps in Afghanistan. I will never rush the solemn decision of sending you into harm's way."

" Well, because Talking Points doesn't have the information the President has it would be unfair for us to second guess Mr. Obama. However John McCain does have that information and says this."

" It's time to make a decision and send those troops there and the longer we delay."

" The more there in harm's way and in danger and the time is up."

" It's time to act."

" There are some people who believe president Obama's waiting until after next Tuesday's election make the decision. That's speculation but it does make sense.
