About 25,000 Troops May Be Needed in Afghanistan After 2014, Planners Say

[MadHound]

6. Your outrage is duly noted

Meanwhile you conveniently left out the part about, "American military officials say that the planning figure is 25,000 troops, commanded by a three-star general. They would include trainers as well as thousands of Green Berets and other special operations troops who would work with Afghans on counter-terror missions. NATO would be asked to contribute troops, but it's likely that the U.S. would contribute the bulk of those forces."

When you have plans that call for tens of thousands of troops, commanded by a three star general, you can be pretty damn certain that will come to pass. You know that, I know that, most of the country knows that. Hell fifty five years ago a president warned us all about that.

But the fact that Obama is just as much in thrall to the MIC as the rest of our post-WWII presidents simply galls you. Meanwhile, the proof in dead and wounded continue to prove your denials wrong.
