OBAMA’S AFGHANISTAN: PROCRASTINATION SETS IN

For weeks now, Generals Petraeus and McChrystal have been sounding the alarm about the need for more troops in Afghanistan. “If we don’t get more troops now,” they echoed, “all gains will be lost and we could lose this thing.”

For days on end, Obama refused even to speak with McChrystal. Finally, apparently bowing to mounting pressure, Obama announced that a decision would be made November 7th, “after the Afghan elections.” Yesterday, the runoff election ended early and Karzai was pronounced the winner. The White House immediately announced that a decision on Afghanistan would not be made for several weeks.

COMMENTS:
If last year’s Presidential elections were being held today, Obama wouldn’t even be a candidate. Hopefully, the Republicans would have had more sense than to put up McCain, too, but I doubt it. One thing I do know, however, is that the welcome mat is out for another Al Qaeda terrorist attack in the United States.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q.What do you think about the new Naval Ship, the destroyer U.S.S. NEW YORK? (Char – Fresno, CA)
A. She’s a majestic ship. Made of scrap from the World Trade Center, it is an ironic pity that she got her commission on the same day that Obama announced he’s not going to make a decision on Afghanistan for several more weeks.



Q. What do you think of that new ocean cruise ship, THE OASIS OF THE SEAS? (Don – Hansville, WA)
A. She’ll hold 5,400 passengers and a crew of 2,000. That’s 7,400 illegal immigrants we can ship out. Only 14,992,600 more to go.



Q. What do you want for Christmas this year? (Clarissa – Escanaba, MI)
A. Obama’s Kenyan birth certificate.
