Yet Obama has taken Afghanistan and managed to make it even WORSE than the Neocons did... MORE soldiers died in 2009 under Obama's command in Afghanistan than ANY previous year. By FAR. By the end of 2009 its likely almost twice as many soldiers will have died than any year of Bush's administration.
If the current troop death rates in Afghanistan continue, Obama will surpass the number of troops who died in 8 years of the Bush Administration in just 3 years. So YES, I DO care. I also DO care that he refuses to act on the recommendation of his HAND PICKED commander in Afghanistan for more troops. While he wastes time attacking Fox News, our troops are DYING.. and DYING in record numbers.
But yes, lets worry about Fox News..
And the Dow Jones has increased nearly 60% in 6mos. At that rate, in 3yrs, the Dow will be 70000! We'll all be too rich to care!
Yes, more people are dying because its a big double-fucked frak-up with Baconnaise that's been left to rot for
years. Add several thousand more soldiers into the mix, drizzle of re-organized insurgents, dash of heroin money, cook under pressure from the Pakistan flank, and you get a nice big bloody shitburger. You helped cook it, feel free to take a bite.
Did you really expect something else to happen? Do you not forsee adding thousands more people into the grinder will make the mess even bloodier, if at best, only for the short term?
Perhaps if the Rs cared more about winning wars than elections, and Bush took his CIC responsibilities seriously rather than just farming it out to the ever revolving door of war college lackeys, perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess.
But yes, Obama is too busy as program director for the Daily Show. He needs all this time to think out a plan so that we may so throughly unfuck ourselves. To accomplish that, he might really have to be the messiah.
