Confused in Afghanistan

President Obama’s national security team is moving to reframe its war strategy by emphasizing the campaign against Al Qaeda in Pakistan while arguing that the Taliban in Afghanistan do not pose a direct threat to the United States, officials said Wednesday.

Well. How about a fuggin' parade for the troops then, Mr. President?

Or, hold on, are these the same assholes who said Iran wouldn't ever get the bomb?

We're going to have to decide what our priorities are in there - are we going to try to Nation build, or are we looking to put some McDonald's restaurants in there? They've already figured out ballot fraud, but what's the end game. If you're to trust this group of suits who have the President's ear, George already mopped them up.

But being the bipolar child that America is - Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, has argued that success demands a substantial expansion of the American presence, up to 40,000 more troops.

Meanwhile Biden has been mouthing off that more troops in Afghanistan is silly and wants to concentrate of Pakistan. But Hillary and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates have both warned that the Taliban remain linked to Al Qaeda and would give their fighters havens again if the Taliban regained control of all or large parts of Afghanistan, making it a mistake to think of them as separate problems.

I'm confused. Mission Accomplished, or we'll lose the war? Which is it?

Wanna bet that Obama's hair turns white in before the end of his first term?
