Let me begin by saying that I worked for, caucused for and voted for President Obama. But...........
Just reading a post over at Cole's place and I'm now sick to my stomach.
The recent loss of 8 soldiers in that pile of rocks called Afghanistan is just the latest reason to come in that suggests that we have no business in that place.
Everyone seems up in arms about the wallpaper now gracing the webpage of DK. Sorry, folks, this is Obama's war. And it's getting ugly.
The Taliban was inside the perimeter of the Forward Operating Base Keating in the Kamdesh District. They breached the perimeter.
This is nuts.
But wait..... It gets worse. seems that while our soldiers are being killed, there's an ongoing fundraiser to provide them with socks. Socks!!! What's next? Bake sales for ammo???
WTF is going on here? We spend 1/2 trillion dollars on defense and 8-10 billion per month to continue the follies of Iraq and Afghanistan and we're blessed with the honor of listening to the fiscal scolds in the GOP and our own fucking party!!! about how we can't afford to cover everybody in this country with health care.
The Ruling Class has hoodwinked us again.
I'm done. I'm beginning to feel that this country isn't worth saving or at least it's beyond it.
Words fail. They really do.
Oh, and for those of you that still think Afghanistan is the "right war at the right time"? Step away from the Obama altar. Charlie Wilson disagrees with you
And he would know.
"Hope and Change" has officially become hopenchange. Pure bullshit with a nifty, focus-tested logo.
Update:I am not alone in my outrage.
