34,000 More Troops for Afganistan

Postby ken123 » Tue Nov 24, 2009 6:12 am

Various news outlets report that President Obamahas decided to send 34,00 more troops to Afganistan. Whatever the decisionis the President will make the official announcement on December 1. If the decision is to increase US troop strength I'm afraid a great disaster looms IMHO :( :(

Boy. I can't wait to conquer it and make it the 51st State. We really need territorial expansion. Uh huh.

I also hear that Nigerian banking scams are going to be all but forgotten once we start selling beachfront condos in Afghanistan. I hope GW & Mrs will be among the first to move - that really wouldn't surprise me once they get tired of North Central Expressway's noise - they moved a few blocks from it in Dallas, althougth I'm pretty certain taxpayers will pay for the heightened anti-noise walls.
