The biggest lesson we should learn is this: You can't solve the worlds problems with more bombs or more troops.
I like that new Generals approach to the Afghan conflict. Yes he wants more troops, but hold on a minute, we need to think this through, as Obama is doing. WHAT will he DO with more troops? Well that's where the CHANGE is coming. NOT to vigorously go on the attack as much as to secure more villages and towns! To win the hearts and minds of the PEOPLE. Blasting the hell out of the insurgents will buy time, but that alone will never win the war. Something Cheney STILL doesn't understand.
It was refreshing to see the President take a hands on approach to securing more jobs for Americans as it applies to the Olympics in Chicago.

First, try to keep it pithy around here, Second; if I need the liberal view of things - I'll just go to CNN or MSNBC. Why you continue to post liberal talking point garbage to a 99.999999% conservative site is beyond belief....
Also, please stay off my threads - I will stay off your threads.
