Four more years of Bush

So President Bush is going to send in another 17,000 troops into a country that had absolutely no connection to 9-11.

Uh, Gordon, once again you keep forgetting that Bush is no longer the president.

Then it must be Cheney

Uh, No.

Jeb Bush?

No.

McCain?

Uh, No. The president is Barack Obama.

Not possible. See the Barack Obama I saw during the campaign never would have committed to invading a sovereign country that had nothing to do with 9-11.

President Obama will send an additional 17,000 American troops to Afghanistan this spring and summer in the first major military move of his presidency, White House officials said on Tuesday.

The increase would come on top of 36,000 American troops already there, making for an increase of nearly 50 percent. In issuing the order, Mr. Obama is choosing a middle ground, addressing urgent requests from commanders who have been pressing for reinforcements while postponing a more difficult judgment on a much larger increase in personnel that the commanders have been seeking.In a written statement issued by the White House on Tuesday evening, Mr. Obama said that deteriorating security in Afghanistan demands “urgent attention and swift action” to address a problem that “has not received the strategic attention, direction and resources it urgently requires.”

Sounds like that war monger Bush to me.
