Quoted Text
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama will ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned - a request that could be an especially hard sell to some of the administration's Democratic allies.

The extra $33 billion in 2010 would mostly go toward the expansion of the war in Afghanistan. Obama ordered an extra 30,000 troops for that war as part of an overhaul of the war strategy late last year.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I thought the troops were going to be pulled out day 1.  We're getting closer and closer to day 365.  When do they come home again???

The guy didn't have a clue before he was elected and he, and his administration, still don't have a clue!
