High On a Mountain Of War

We're sending 17,000 American soldiers to Afghanistan because....? I mean, it can't be because of Al Qaeda, the frigging "war on terrorism", etc.. Those frigging sons of bitches are in the mountains of Pakistan, for Christ! And as far as those Taliban numb-nuts go, sure, they did give sanctuary to Al Qaeda back in 2001 and, yes, they may ultimately do it again but, come on, we can't be micromanaging that hellish country ad infinitum/in the interim. That would truly be insanity, folks!................................................................I mean, I know that Barack Obama wants to underscore the fact that the former president blew it and all, that the son of a bitch clearly took his eyes off the prize, got us all bogged down in Iraq, etc.. But this, my friends is 2009. To try and correct the Bush administration miscues of years ago with additional folly is additional folly and little more. Hopefully, the elements who so angrily excoriated the former president recognize this/won't be taking a siesta on this one. I sure as hell won't be taking one.
