ANOTHER QUAGMIRE

Ah, the good old days! Not even 4,000 dead! And who is counting Iraqi lives? Not our usual media but only http://www.iraqbodycount.org/ and the current count is:
91,466-99,861 (a stunned silence)

Obama is great; it's so wonderful to have an intelligent person as the prez, and so cool that he is a person of color and has such a varied background.
But why does he want to send more troops to Afghanistan? Can we stop the Taliban? What is the goal? This worries me and others. From Alternet.org
Afghanistan is no longer a downward spiral, it has hit rock bottom. It is, as Bob Herbert put it in The New York Times this week, a total quagmire, one that we're up to our waists in thanks to Bush.
