In the words of Journey: "it goes on and on and on..."

So, everybody was all happy when Obama said that he'd get the troops out of Iraq.
He kept his word.
He moved the troops out of Iraq......and into Afghanistan. And now we're going to pay even more for the war in Afghanistan than we are for Iraq:

"WASHINGTON – The Senate on Thursday passed a $91.3 billion military spending bill, shorn of money President Barack Obama wants to close the Guantanamo Bay prison but allowing him to significantly ramp up the U.S. war in Afghanistan.

Obama is sending more than 20,000 additional troops there and, for the first time next year, the annual cost of the war in Afghanistan is projected to exceed the cost of fighting in Iraq.

With support forces, the number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan is expected to be about 68,000 by the end of the year — more than double the size of the U.S. force at the end of 2008."

Awesomesauce.
Can't someone else take care of the Middle East? Why do we always have to do everything?



We really need a vacation.




Better yet, let them take care of themselves! They're an independent people, let 'em figure it out for themselves. What makes us think that we know exactly what's right for everybody?
