I agree with your remarks...

When you are supplying and arming both sides of the conflict through payment to warlords and Taliban for safe passage of your supplies, and each 1000 troops cost a billion to maintain with the lowest estimate of success (if possible) is 400,000 troops and as high as 600,000.

The 50,000 requested is a drop in the ocean at 50 billion and much more loot for the Warlords, Taliban and the military industrial complex.

The politicians, warlords and Taliban support you all in not wanting to let the US leave they have never had it so good.

Poor tribes fighting poor tribes is for losers, and that is all they will have left if Uncle Sam abandons them.

And too think he denounced he was muslim in his campaign until he had to fess up when he addressed the muslim world in a speech. How stupid could the American people be? I mean seriously. If he were not muslim his name would be Barry Obama. Now the million dollar question is:
Is he a radical muslim like he is a radical Chicagoian black theologian marxist?

White House senior adviser David Axelrod, who attends the deliberations but says he does not “have a seat at the table,” told POLITICO that the impatience on the momentous decision is a symptom of today’s “A.D.D. political culture.”

No, if Axelrod is looking for a symbol of today's "A.D.D. political culture" he doesn't have to look an further than Obama, who seems not able to apply himself to anything for any length of time, but instead goes running off on yet another trip (the most of any president in the short time span he's been in office).

I've even begun to wonder if Obama's gauntness is due to an Adderall addiction.

Imagine how POed he is that this global climate crap with the U.N. is not working out for his global communism announcement on Dec, 10th when he accepts his bogus peace prize. He has to hold out until 2010. Does he really think that a global currency and warming/government will save him or just lock-in his tyrant rule? I just saw where he (the govt) want to take over subways; under the guise of safety. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2386903/posts
So he will rule all soon enough.

Tabloid is saying he either has lung cancer ..or the story is those close to him worry that he will get it.

An antichrist doesn’t have to worry about lung cancer...until he destroys us.

It’s a tough call for BHO.If he listens to his General he loses the left’s vote on health care. He has no moral compass, no respect for the military,no backbone, so unlike Bush, he’s stuck. To let these troops twist in the wind while he plots his political future is criminal.

Do not give up, we are Americans, we will eventually win and overcome. We are going to defeat these socialists and we are going to defeat our terrorist enemies. Meanwhile I agree with you that we are going to suffer a lot.

I'm all too familiar with lung cancer -- he wouldn't have the energy he does if he were suffering from that, even in the early stages. Trust me.

Adderall, OTOH, gives one a "boost" -- it aids in exercise and concentration (at least for brief periods). From everything I've seen and read, he fits the profile, now and in the past.

Cigarette-smoking (another subject I'm familiar with) doesn't automatically make someone slim. Sure, it can curtail appetite for some, but there are too many overweight smokers to make the generalization. Given his enormous public exposure now, I doubt that he could smoke enough in a 24-hour period for it to have any significant effect.
