And in my opinion, Bush AND Cheney's azzez should be in prison TODAY for abandoning the mission in Afghanistan in order to wage an UNJUST war against Iraq behind some neoCON BS. But back to the President's speech last night:I thought he did a good job in making a the case for increasing troop levels and continuing the fight in Afghanistan over the next 18 months WITH an exit strategy.I don't always agree with Obama on his handling of different critical issues BUT I TRUST THE MAN as my President to think his decisions through and to act in good faith in the best interest of this country and the American people.
