Afghan Wonderland
A thought occurred to me the other day, while I was listening to an old Rush Limbaugh program. (Funny how it seems he thinks of things long before I do. Thank God for podcasts.) Anyways, President bin Nadin had a wonderful campaign, did he not? He made all of these promises to the American people, none of which by the way, have been kept. He promised that the troops would be pulled out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and the like. Now, get this: HE IS SENDING MORE TROOPS OVER! Seems like a complete reversal of his original intention. All of these troops are supposed to lead Iraq and Afghanistan into a new era, as well, of course, to hunt down all the evil mean terrorists that are still in hiding over there. Now, am I wrong, or didn’t the administration release a statement saying that there were fewer than 100 Al-Queida operatives left? And didn’t they say that there was no real reason for us to have a presence over there? The sad part is that the whole disaster is being blamed on Bush? The truth of the matter is that these “elected officials” have no real clue what the hell is going on. Oh, and to be honest, I don’t think that a recipient of the Nobel PEACE Prize should really be committing what will be perceived as a hostile act. Of course, Alfred Nobel was famous for creating dynamite, and his prize technically had nothing to do with peacekeeping. However, the prize has come to be awarded to whoever advanced the peacekeeping cause the most in the year. Keep in mind, Obama was nominated for this prize based on his first 11 days in office. A time of hopefulness, to be sure, but not enough time to be awarded a major prize. I think he just felt like taking the money. You know that in this time of economic hardship, the President must have money. He spends like it was water, anyways.
