4. The surge will turn out to be useless, if it hasn't already.

It turns out that Petraeus was leaning on a hawkish Republican think tank for that, and our leader bought it all.

We could use that 88.5 bil. for Afghanistan and the 1.7 bil that the military doesn't know what to do with.

Obama needs to sit down and figure out which military commitments are really necessary for our safety and which aren't. He should have done this in his first term, but now is not too late.

Yesterday was appalling not just for the Puke highjinks but for the White House, too.
