Well, we’re fucked. Cowardice seems to be in the air. I just watched The Reader last night, which is a story about cowardice. And now Obama is showing himself to be a huge coward, fearful of being labeled soft on terror or some such thing. From Yahoo News:
War-weary Americans will support more fighting in Afghanistan once they understand the perils of losing, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday, announcing he was ready to spell out war plans virtually sure to include tens of thousands more U.S. troops.
Perils of losing? We sure as hell aren’t going to “win” because we don’t even know what winning means. Not only that but the Taliban will simply outwait us.
So Obama will pour a few more hundreds of billions of dollars down the drain while the U.S. continues to suffer.
Take a look at this little time-lapse display of unemployment figures over the last (almost) 3 years – bear in mind that the October figures are worse again. Press the Play button to see the colors change.
