Barack Obama Wants to End the War in Afghanistan in Three Years for Some Reason
Barack Obama — who is nearly one year into his first four-year term — has supposedly decided to randomly pick a three-year time table for ending his proposed escalation in Afghanistan out of thin air for no reason whatsoever…
President Obama intends to conclude the Afghanistan war and withdraw most U.S. troops within three years, according to senior administration officials.
Obama is sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and ordering military officials to get the reinforcements there within six months, White House officials told CNN Tuesday.
Jeeze, I sure hope the bringing the troops home in 2012 doesn't get too much in the way of Obama's re-election campaign.*

* Don't worry. It won't. Those troops will be there for at least another decade or so.

Hey Michael, and Beth, Who gives a flying rat's ass how many commas I use. Geez.
I post about Cheney and the weak, bullying nature of torture and all you can see are the commas?
What the hell do you care how many commas I use?
Beth, I think DC was referring to Afghani natives, not American soldiers.
@Beth
I'm not into child stalking, so I'm not as up-to-date on every detail concerning famous peoples' kids, as you appear to be. If one of Obama's kids was born in 1998, then she's already the same age as the soldiers that men and women from this country are fighting against and/or alongside.

Try not to write when you're on the rag.
Hey, caligrrrrrrrrrrrl, how, come, you, like, use, so, many, commas?
In other news, WHO GIVES A SHIT CUZ WE'RE ALL GONNA PERISH ON 12/21/12 ANYHOO. Hell, I think Cheech and Chong should run for president in 2012. The ghosts of Abbott and Costello. Hell, let's have Bush and Cheney run again. The Salahis could run as an election-crashing husband and wife ticket. it won't fucking matter because it will be the end of the world in a few weeks anyway. I say we all go out 12/20/12 and drink Margaritas 'til we're shitting our pants, and screw everything that walks 'cuz the party will be over the next day.
Aaaarrrgggghhhh.
On a more serious note, this is not a winnable war Mr. President. Let's just get the fuck out of there, guard our own borders, and patrol our own skies. And let some other nation deal with that hellhole. Why does it always have to be "US"?
DC, are you talking about Malia Obama? Malia was born in 1998. Did they change the draft age, or did you fail math?
Hey caligrrrrrrrrrrrrl, you really, love those, commas, don't, you?
In four years, one of his kids will be old enough for the draft, which the military will have to use to get the armchair war mongers off their butts.
I think it may be unrealistic, to put an actual end date on this war, but I appreciate and value the intent.
Maybe Cheney's projecting when he talks about being weak.
Only a bully, is so weak, they feel the need, to torture.
