Obama: Early to mull more troops in Afghanistan The Associated Press Sun, May 17, 2009 (1:15 a.m.) President Barack Obama says he needs to see how fast Afghanistan can be stabilized and led toward a more democratic government before deciding whether more troops are needed. In an interview with Newsweek magazine, Obama said the hardest thing he has had to do so far in his administration was to order 17,000 troops to Afghanistan on top of an estimated 38,000 that were already in Afghanistan. The interview was released on the Web Saturday.

Oh well then, I guess if that's the case there is nothing more to be said about that. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! And some people actually believe the bs'ers in Hawaii, people who elect something like Daniel Inouye over and over. The gullibility of some folks is just astounding.
