Gee, even I think that graphic crosses the line.

I think it's spot on...He's found time for almost 30 days of golf - while record numbers of our troops die because of his new ROE and lack of action

Sometimes it takes a start illustration to get through to people,

The Obama White House and their Press Poodles speak as if they first heard of Afghanistan two months ago. We were committed in Afghanistan long before Obama was elected....to the Senate. So now, finally, he’s thinking about strategy? What the ??????????????

That’s our new Ditherer in Chief, or DIC.

This has also occurred to me.

I can only wish it isn’t so.

You’re right. This looks like an editing error; when I wrote the piece in its original version, I wrote 55 for October alone and noted that the month wasn’t finished. I’ll try to find out what happened, thanks for pointing this out.

Whats the differencce between the two candidates anyway. Is one Pro Taliban or something? It seems they both want the US to send tons more troops and money and equipment, so why wait for the election.....and why the hell don’t the Republicans ask this of obambi?

He never intended to make a decision before the November elections, no matter how many of our troops died.

Someone newsworthy needs to say this, maybe Sarah Palin, so that the public can hear it and see what he is doing and what he is really like.

My guess is the re-election or runoff between Karzai and Abdullah is just an excuse for yet more dithering. Let’s face it: Obamsky and the Dems played politics with Afghanistan when they said it was the “war of necessity.” That was just their way of blasting Bush for Iraq. And now they are stuck with following up on a matter they have no ideas about and little or no inclination to really deal with. It’s what happens when you are stuck supporting a lie—the lies simply begin to multiply exponentially. Obamsky has to pretend to care about Afghanistan when he doesn’t.

As for the Republicans, they are mostly feckless and don’t want to offend anyone. Terminal politicians get you terminal politics—and American forces in faraway places pay the ultimate price. This has been going on forever and it stinks. It just stinks.
