He’s ‘close’
Only 60 days after Generals asked for more help in Afghanistan, our fearless leader is ready to jump into action. Some are concerned that 2 months is not near enough time to decide whether to commit to helping our soldiers pinned down by enemy fire, out-manned by the Taliban. ‘What’s the rush?’, they say. These are Americans dying– it’s not as if some poor guy with bombs strapped on his vest didn’t understand the Miranda rights being read to him! These are just a bunch of American kids– war mongers who pillage villages for fun! Take your time, Obama!
Obama himself worries that he is taking steps that are much more reckless than his usual course of action. But he has asked his advisers, his Cabinet, and the Generals themselves, and they have given him the bad news that he can’t just vote ‘present’ and get back to fundraising parties. Bummer!
Sometimes, Barack, life isn’t fair. I myself can’t believe that after only… 1o months or so, you are actually being asked to DO something! Did they actually believe you when you said you ‘had a plan for Afghanistan’ back when they voted for you? I hear you– what idiots! And now YOU have to do all the dirty work of choosing not only ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but even picking a number between one and 40,000! That is a lot of numbers! And if you pick too high, you got Rosie O’Donnell calling you on the phone; pick too low and… wait! There’s an idea– pick too low and what, exactly? Sure, the Taliban wins and our guys die, but that is really all Bush’s fault— not sure how, but the press will think of something for that to work. How ’bout, ‘Bush went to Fort Hood and all those soldiers cheered for him, and that made them miss killing classes and so they lost the war’. That’s pretty good– ABC, CBS, and NBC would buy it. Fox won’t, but they aren’t really ‘news’– (wink!).
OK. I think we’ll be OK on this. I do think that since you said you were ‘close’, you should come up with something in the next few months– you know how those press guys like to hound you for keeping your word (I just laughed and milk came out my nose!!).
Keep it ‘real’! (wink wink!)
