Pardon My Politics

After campaigning against “George Bush’s War” in the Middle East, Obama has escalated that war by transferring thousands of America’s forces from Iraq to Afghanistan, and by sending an additional 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. Now it’s Barack Obama’s war.

As Pres­i­dent Oba­ma pon­ders whether to send more troops to Afghanistan, there is mount­ing ev­i­dence the Tal­iban is sup­port­ed by the CIA. If cor­rect, the Afghan war is a cha­rade with a hid­den agen­da.

Mem­bers of the GOP pro­pa­gan­da or­gans were ec­stat­ic when Oba­ma failed to get the Olympics for Chica­go. They will howl that Oba­ma is guilty of the pre-??9/11 think­ing un­less he gets us buried in Afghanistan.

U.S. media are always keen to push the latest bloody count.
