cheney on afghanistan and obama

Date December 1, 2009

tonite barack obama will use our soldiers from west point for image building (instead of his horrible greek columns from the campaign) to present his carefully stage-crafted event of telling the nation he will be sending 30,000 more troops to afghanistan. but preempting the speech is dick cheney who, yet again, steps up fearlessly [...]

Date October 28, 2009

barack obama says he will ‘announce’ his decision on sending more troops to afghanistan sometime between november 7 and november 20. most say it will be to send more troops but not the 40,000 requested by general mcchrystal. obviously this decision is competing with ‘when to play golf next’ and ‘where should i [...]
