The decision to bolster the U.S. force by about 30,000 troops in the next six months -- a more rapid escalation than McChrystal or the military had initially advocated -- has drawn support inside the Pentagon. The additional troops will give McChrystal the forces he needs to pursue a full-scale counterinsurgency strategy in those areas of Afghanistan he deems most critical.
The 40,000 troops that McChrystal originally asked for would have taken 18 months to deploy into Afghanistan.
So much for Obama's "dithering".

"So much for Obama's "dithering"."

Looks like you are getting a few robot posts now. Maybe BB will actually use the links to make his fortune. :-)
Regarding the "dithering", looks like the cons were lying again, since Obama said in his speech that the General did not ask for more troops until 2010.
Not sure I agree with Obama on troop increase. Hope he knows what he is doing.
Kristoff:
"For the cost of deploying one soldier for one year, it is possible to build about 20 schools."
Probably the route to go?
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/03/opinion/03kristof.html
I believe to have heard that 1 soldier costs the taxpayer 1 million yearly.
30 thousand soldiers, 30 billion yearly.
"30 thousand soldiers, 30 billion yearly."

Cons were jumping for joy at Obamas decision. Cons don't mind spending on war, even if it bankrupts the US.
Wait a minute. that's a double standard--again. 30 billion to you is "peanuts". You site 100 Billion on healthcare as being "nothing" Now, suddenly you are being fiscally conservative?

Oops! Raygun has alittle egg on his face, again.
You cons do love war. Even if it costs you your precious green paper.

What makes you think conservatives "love" war? I sure in the hell hate war but sometimes you must take action!
Comon BB, go work your second job. At least get in shape for it, as it will come.
Im watching your hero Bono, "Rattle and Humm" ... Lots of shotguns and God, and fighting and silver and gold...

Why do I need a second job? Why dont I quit my job and live off your money?
Written by Bob Dylan
There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here
I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine
Ploughmen dig my earth
None of them know along the line
What any of this is worth
Why do I need a second job? Why dont I quit my job and live off your money?

BB, BB King and his band is coming on. Hangon one sec
Why do I need a second job? Why dont I quit my job and live off your money? Why work when liberals are just handing out other peoples money to those who dont want to work!
BB:
When I woke up I was sleeping on the street
I felt the world was dancing, and I was dirt beneath their feet
When I woke up I saw the Devil looking down
But my Lord He played guitar the day love came to town
BB and all cons, and any one else:
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
Why do I need a second job? Why dont I quit my job and live off your money? Why work when liberals are just handing out other peoples money to those who dont want to work!
Why do liberals punish hard work and reward failure?
Tax tax tax tax! Why do liberals has every dollar I earn several time over?
But you should see where I live...
BB:
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails
Into the souls on the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear
Running scared in the valley below

Your the one suggesting I get a second job, why? I am not hungry, I just ate.
RG gets this way sometimes Brandon. But I will answer that question for you. You will NEED a second job because our national debt is going to collape the dollar. Unfortunately, there will not be jobs to be had. Obama-nomics
"Unfortunately, there will not be jobs to be had. Obama-nomics"

But Raygun said if we raise min wage to $20/hr we will all be rich...
Rg doesn't know the first thing about economics.
He actually thinks that we should spend another trillion dollars and it would be fine for the country
"But Raygun said if we raise min wage to $20/hr we will all be rich... "

Your so snocked BB
Rg gets all of his truths from the Huffington Post
Seems to be something all liberals have in common. They cant look at the big picture.
Anon2 gets hers from John Lennon
Yeah. One thing that I have learned from this liberal blog experiment is that you just can't reason with a liberal. It amazes me! They talk in circles, and if it can't be found on a libeal website---it isn't the truth
"Your so snocked BB"
-Raygun
What the hell does that mean?
Casey-
So have I missed much while I was gone?

Or they change the topic.
Ok.
The truth?
Raygun-
Wanna talk about I-1033 and why the stupid liberals of King county shot it down?
No not anything really. The usual stuff. Bush bashing, all cons suck, avoid the facts. refusal to see anything at all wrong with any liberal---no matter what they do. You know, the usual.

I havent heard CJP or Raygun bash a single democrat for anything they have done. At least conservatives will admit when we make mistakes.

Look out Brandon. That's an into into a God/religion bashing rant
Oh no. They really won't. That is what is so amazing to me. Not rational
Casey-
What do you think of governments help? (medicare, ss and etc...)
No RG. Maybe Brandon wants to talk about the so called "job summit" You know, the one where the US Chamber of Commerce wasn't invited. They only represent 105 million employees
Casey
My favorite is when CJP and Raygun bash Glen Beck but refuse to address his valid point!
I am a Libertarian. I am not for the nationalized healthcare at all. Government can't run anything well.

It is another strange liberal thing. They love to bash Fox News, Glenn Beck, O'Reilly, etc. but they never watch. They just spout the party line.

You cons are quite funny.
Anon2 likes to bash John McCain because he divorced his first wife...and she ponders why the USA doesn't want to be more like Europe. Like I said it is really something
Whats the matter Raygun?
Raygun-
Wanna talk about I-1033 and why the stupid liberals of King county shot it down?
Do you think those stupid liberals messed up voting down I-1033?
oh shit. Here it goes...
Got a great book. "Welcome to Obamaland: I have seen your future and it doesn't work" by James Delingpole. Have you heard of it?
Delingpole is British and describes how much his country sucks now, and how we are looking at the same fate with all of the Obama administration programs and taxes.
Maybe all the liberals should leave us Americans alone and move back to Europe.
I have a great book Casey Darling,
"Welcome to Obamaland:" FK off honey, as it's all BS.
Welcome back to the conversation Raygun.

Are you pissed off at me RG?

I hate state taxes.
You should read the book, RG. You guys love to hear what the Europeans have to say, don't you?
Raygun
We dont want government controlling our lives. If you want government to hold your hand move to Europe!
If Europe is so great, why are people not moving their in waves, from America?

Touchy subject for you?
RG. I think that you are confused. You hate all of these taxes, but your liberal heros want to raise every kind of tax out there. VAT tax, junk food tax, stock trading tax, Cap & trade, the list gets longer by the day
"I hate property taxes."

Plz BB, go listen to Bonos album
"No Line on the Horizon"
STOP RAYGUN...
come back to reality!
Why do you think your liberal friends voted down I-1033?
Is it that the liberals lied to the people of Washington about the effects of I-1033?
"STOP RAYGUN...
come back to reality!"

BB, you little dog ... We arent that much different.
Brandon said...
"Maybe all the liberals should leave us Americans alone and move back to Europe."
CONS are mostly WASPs and therefore most have a European background. That's why you cons should go back to Europe.
The only Americans who are the real citizens of America are the natives.
Good Luck, Brandon. I'm going to go shovel snow.
"The only Americans who are the real citizens of America are the natives."

uhh no! They were crushed by the white man and it is no longer their country!

Fk the liberals!!! You want to blame conservatives for all your problems when its clear that almost or all the conservative counties in Washington State passed I-1033. The largest and most liberal county in Washington voted it down so it failed.
When your complaining about paying for conservatives kids going to school thru property taxes, you only have yourself and your friends to thank for that one!

Hey cons, you love love to reproduce so much and force others to have kids by restricting birth control etc, why not give needy kids gifts this Christmas?
This apparently is only local to Seattle
http://www.hope-link.org/
but there has to be something like it around you. Heifer International is another good one that gives animals to the needy.
Here are a few examples of kids asking for presents.
Female, Age 6, A Bugs Life DVD
Female, Age 14, Drawing pad and pens
Female, Age 6, Coloring Books
Doesn't the above make you sad? There are thousands of requests like this.
Comon cons, get them started early consuming. You'll get paid back later when they go broke buying your products.
RG--I do work for the needy everyday. I contact the "evil businesses" and get donations of their products for the food and personal hygeine boxes.
I do not get paid for this. I do what I can.
Yes it is sad, and I know that you will do what you can, too.
By the way RG---I just switched from my PC to my laptop and now I am having to re-register everytime I post, do you know why that might be?
"and get donations of their products for the food and personal hygeine boxes."
--
Probably mostly old and expired products that they can deduct from their taxes.
Not all business is evil. Probably only about 20 percent or so, just like the 20 percent or so in society, and for whom the reason evil regulations are a necessity.
It's a cookie issue, pretty sure. Check your cookie settings.
Probably mostly old and expired products that they can deduct from their taxes.==RG
Actually, no. I just had a company donate 1600 good, name brand toothbrushes today. AND THEY TURNED DOWN MY OFFER OF A DONATION LETTER/RECIEPT.
It is out there RG. People of this country are good people for the most part. You need to stop being so cynical
"You need to stop being so cynical "

Think I said 80 percent are good and 20 percent need to be watched (by regulations, cops, etc).

If cons read more they would know who Cormac McCarthy is.
I read at least 6 of his books. To a con thats like bragging about the sunny weather outside.
No I didn't look. I know that you would never post it, but I know that you would wonder if I looked. :)
BTW it doesn't appear to be a cookie thing. Settings are good. I wanted to use the laptop so that I could say that I took you to bed with me. LOL
Hmm, that's how browsers remember settings etc, cookies. For some reason the cookie is not being written it sounds like.
Be gentle.
"Fk the liberals!!!"

BB what were you ranting about? I told you I missed the vote, forgot to fill it out and send it in, but I would of voted against it. Eyman will just do another proposal.
I don't like property taxes I told you, as over 50 percent goes to paying for you cons millions of offspring.

So why would you vote against it?
You dont want to pay for kids in schools, then why not vote for an initiative the would limit the increase in property taxes? You liberals dont make any sense, you want something and then you vote it down because a conservative sponsored it!
So why would you vote against it?

What does that have to do with it? Conservatives have kids and according to you we have more than liberals, yet we supported the initiative. Do you think the lies coming from the liberal media in Washington persuaded them to vote against it?

Probably bad wording in the proposal. He'll just reword it and try again. I like the fact that he did away with the GD yearly auto tax. JC that was like 2k+ a year, every year, and came due right about now for me.
