lol.
Leave Obama alone, guys. Give him a chance. He has potential.
THEN he increases troop strength in Afghanistan by MORE than the Generals asked
This is old news, it's actually been in a sig of someone on a Christian forum I frequently visit. In their sig, below this picture, reads 'The new boss- just like the old one'. Although Obama is actually nothing like Bush, which can only be a good thing.
General McChyrstal actually asked for 40,000 when Obama only gave 30,000. So this is wrong.
hmm, i know i read an article that put the numbers differently. i didn't save it, but most are agreeing with you on THAT point.

The combat brigades would be brought in gradually, in three-month intervals, according to the military official.

There is a difference between Bush and Obama...Bush is completely stupid. How he got in power is...amazing.

That is creepy.
