Surprise Surprise they are asking for More Troops in Afghanistan
    #11064305 - 09/15/09 02:28 PM (14 years, 6 months ago)

our generals are addicted to asking for more money
why cant they ever estimate the cost accurately in the first place
its not like they low ball it
this is the typical american way
just like what we did with the native americans
first we had them sign the paper stating we can have a little bit of land
then came back asking for more, then more, more and more til we had more than them
thats how we roll, we just snowball it
its because we assume everybody is shortsighted so we just ask for little increments at a time and eventually get a huge massive amount that know body would have approved in the first place

I didn't watch the vid, but when calling someone a dumbass you should at least know the difference between "brakes" and "breaks".

Let's not even discuss your inability to formulate a sentence.

Particularly when the Taliban offered to hand Bin Laden over to the US if they offered proof of his guilt.

too much to ask?:shrug:

Plus if people knew how much the Afghanistan war was gonna cost (or wars in general) I doubt they would've went for Iraq. I still remember Cheney saying that the US would be in and out of there in 6 months tops. LOL

That's a good joke, the Taliban offered to hand over their hero! If anyone would bother to look, they would find a video confession from BL himself! Also nobody from the Bush Administration said it would be easy in Iraq! If someone wants to be a revolutionary, use facts.

He might just have a slight speech impdiment.

And as for the surprise nature of this, didn't Obama campaign on the idea of putting more troops into Afghanistan?

You mean like citing a commonly known fact one such source of which would be Lawrence Wright's Pulitzer prize winning "The Looming Tower: Al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11"

Yea maybe if you want to correct someone you should read the fuck up on a topic. Like for instance the status of Bin Laden's popularity before 9-11.

Im not sure what you mean

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Barack_Obama#Afghanistan

"Obama announced a plan — if elected — to deploy an additional 7,000 troops to Afghanistan. "As president, I would pursue a new strategy, and begin by providing at least two additional combat brigades to support our effort in Afghanistan" "We need more troops, more helicopters, better intelligence-gathering and more nonmilitary assistance to accomplish the mission there" "I would not hold our military, our resources and our foreign policy hostage to a misguided desire to maintain permanent bases in Iraq," Obama said on July 14, 2008."

He said as much many times during the debates

IMO bush did a lot better job explaining the surge and what our goals were going to be then when he first invaded Iraq.
