To: The Magical Mischief Tour

from the source article:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/30/AR2009103004081.html?hpid=topnews

“The president appears committed to adding at least 10,000 to 15,000 troops in Afghanistan in an effort to bolster the training of Afghan army and police officers in the country. Current plans call for the United States to double the size of the Afghan army and police forces to about 400,000 in the hope that they can take over security responsibilities.”

If they’re floating 10-15K, I have a feeling they want 25,000 to sound like a strong commitment in comparison.

the it shows how clueless the left are seeing as most of them never serve.

we have outposts which need more troops and we need more troops for those more out of reach patrols .
Maybe if the left had a brain they would realise that electing the American idol with no experience costs more lives
