Monday Musings: November 30, 2009
Sunday, November 29, 2009 at 18:10 Are you waiting as breathlessly as I am to hear what Obama has to say on Tuesday, when he lets us in on the bold new plan to win the hearts and minds of the people of Afghanistan? The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is certainly all ears, having released a report outlining how the thing was irretrievably lost while that pack of jackasses (AKA the Bush administration) let it go to the back burner while they played oil games in Iraq.
Our adventure in Afghanistan is doomed. There are few real experts on the region that haven’t declared it so. But, I fear, the generals have Obama’s ear and the voices of reason are being drowned out.
It’s now costing us $1 million dollars per soldier to fight that war over there. And, we can’t afford to reform the broken health care insurance system.
My ass.
