No new troops to Afghanistan

By JIM MANNION

The Pentagon is unable to send additional combat brigades to
Afghanistan this year because of constraints imposed by the war in
Iraq, leaving a shift of forces to the next president, a spokesman
said Wednesday.

McGlom is definitely senile. At best!

McStain repeatedly says that Obama said the "surge" wouldn't work and
will not acknowledge it has worked.

But Barack negates the flimsy McCroup assertions by stating that:

a) He, unlike McWheezer, voted against the war in the first place,
an illegal war that was FAILING at the time the surge was proposed --
to save face.

b) We wouldn't have needed the surge -- much less the subsequent
untold numbers of U.S. and Iraqi deaths and maimings, and the waste
of
billions in taxpayer monies, and our use of torture and abolishment
of
habeas corpus to the shame of our nation, and become TRAPPED in Iraq
-- IF THE INVASION AND WAR, that Mc"Cane" and Bush wanted, HAD NOT
BEGUN!
