What a sad announcement, that Obama is going to send more troops to Afghanistan, possibly as many as 35,000 more. We don't even have a clear aim here. He has not pitched this war to the American public in even a remotely satisfactory way. What are our aims there? How could we 'win'? What would 'winning' even look like? And our Man in Afghanistan is just as corrupt as anybody else, too.
What a sad day. Obama has been losing my support, but now he has lost it. The Empire wins again. We cannot survive as a nation without war, because we have no sound grounding for an economy not based on exploitation. I had had some hope that Obama just might make some kind of difference, in spite of some significant differences I have always had with him.
The people who speak about the need for another American Revolution are right. Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are the only two politicians on the radar who speak something more or less resembling truth. Maybe the Movement will gain more traction now that Obama is showing his cards.
