-- Obama wins Nobel Prize, Lira is amused
Pages (8): « 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [8]
I'm talking about adding 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. You make it seem like he just added 30,000 new troops and sent them to Afghanistan, when in reality they've been scaling back occupation of Iraq and shifting focus to Afghanistan. Even still, http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...n-and-iraq.html. You can see there that since 2009 the occupying force in Iraq has been dramatically reduced by about 100,000, while the force in Afghanistan has been increased by about 50,000.
They have begun reducing the number of troops on the ground in both locations. And the "now it seems like they're trying to stay longer" is also misleading. The goal is to leave both countries. They're not trying to stay longer. They're trying to put together an achievable goal for a rate at which they can decrease the occupying force without destabilizing the countries' acting governments.

If you want a clone war I can give you a clone war... I am far too lazy though.

The peace prize means nothing now.
Kissinger and Obama ruined it.
Fuck all these global prizes. Our treasurer won treasurer of the year and he's the most incapable toss-pot in existence.
