After carefully considering three options for Afghanistan, none of which involved withdrawal, he decided to send more troops--in order to get out sooner. Of course.
LBJ, call your office.

Alas. We can only hope the same thing happens to us that happened to the Soviet Union. HAW! HAW! HAW!
If you're a walking wounded Veteran of an American war, you watch and listen to this stuff. As Max Cleland, the triple-amputee of the Vietnam Peace Initiative recently wrote, his symptoms of PTSD are exacerbated by continuing wars, senseless destruction and death, four decades later. Does anyone think these wounds heal? They don't!
America says it cares about its Veterans, but that's a mountain RANGE of bullshit. The urban tag of 'walking time bomb' isn't a fucking joke. A 78-year-old Veteran could make it through civilian life with literally no 'incidents,' but one day, some smartass young punk thinks the 78-year-old Veteran is an easy mark for a mugging. And guess what happens? Short fuse. The Veteran still has 'eyes' in the back of his head. The punk should have gone to war, because there, he'd have had a better chance of survival.
Pass the FUCKING gravy!
How long have U.S. forces been staring across the DMZ into NK, expect a similar occupation in Afghanistan, Iraq and wherever else our aggression takes us in S. Asia. Get out sooner...right.
In other news, here's more proof that the only thing that the administration of Barrack W. Obama lacks from his predecessor is a shady, movie-like villain like Cheney. Although Rahm and Hillary come really close.
