More Troops Shipping To The Fire That Is Afghanistan

I am not pleased to hear Obama kept his word on this issue, even if it means that I will likely never ever have to send SSG Dizzy back to Iraq.

I would be more pleased to not have to expect SSG Dizzy to eventually have to ship out to Afghanistan or even have to say good-bye to my good friends who are preparing, as I post this, to deploy to the region by the beginning of May of this year.

I don’t care if he is using the words or not, President Obama should end the “war on terror” and bring all of our troops, wherever they may be, home, post haste.

Into the Frying Pan

Following fast on the heels of President Obama signing the stimulus bill on Tuesday came the news that he “would send an additional 17,000 American troops to Afghanistan this spring and summer, putting his stamp firmly on a war that he has long complained is going in the wrong direction.”

The new order from the Obama administration increses the troop level in Afghanistan by nearly 50% and White House officials said, “[a] further decision on sending more troops will come after the administration completes a broader review of Afghanistan policy.”

This is now Obama’s war on terror, compliments of BushCo. The question for many of us to President Obama is simply, “when will it end?” There really is no doubt things have heated up there and it’s the war we should have been fighting, but “when will it end?” And how many more American lives will be lost?
