America's 'surge' may only expand, intensify and prolong the Afghan conflict

NEW YORK -- There were no surprises in President Barack Obama's historic speech at West Point last Tuesday.

Obama faced the choice between guns (Afghanistan) or butter (his national health plan). The Nobel Peace Prize winner chose guns.

As expected, Obama will rush 30,000 new troops into the Afghan quagmire and arm-twist reluctant allies to contribute more token forces. Confusingly, Obama promised some of the 100,000 U.S. garrison will begin withdrawing in 2011.

"May"?

It definitely will... there's no doubt about it.

There is nothing confusing about it. The President of Afghanistan (former Shell employee appointed by the fool from Texas), W and Cheney have until 2011 to get there act together, get the Afghan military up and running on all cylinders, and get Afghanistan back on its feet. If not, those idiots are forwarned that American troops will begin to come home in 2011 and we will no longer be around to save their butts from rival factions. The American breasts will no longer produce milk in 2011.
