A little editorial comment here…

War for political reasons is wrong when George Bush does it; if anything, it is more wrong when someone you trust takes us down the same path.

Obama has chosen to escalate the Afghanistan conflict by sending another 30,000 troops. Think about that a second… if you took every qualified young man out of Minneapolis (or Orlando, or Cincinnati, or Newark, or Sacramento, or Tuscon, etc.), and sent them to Afghanistan, you’d still fall short.

Sometimes numbers make things too easy. I remember graduating RPI; my class size was about 2,500 or so. At the time, the U.S. death toll in Iraq matched almost exactly.

It took hours for all the graduates to walk across the stage. You get the point…

So we’re doing this… only this time, we’re going to demand accountability. Pardon me while I throw up a little bit…

Hell, we can’t get accountability from the Bush administration. We can’t get accountability from Wall Street fraudsters. We can’t get accountability from Ben Bernanke or Tim Geithner… Ha. Even Tiger Woods walks….

But somehow we’re going to get accountability from Hamad Karzai and the Afghan government.

While we shower money on Hamad Karzai’s narco-trafficking brother.

Count me a skeptic.
