That is just for now. He is leaning toward sending a total of 30,000 more soldiers over time.

Let's think back on all of the things that were said about U.S. involvement in the Middle East when Bush was the president. Things such as, "The insurgents are not terrorists. They are freedom fighters!" and, "We have a terrorism problem because we are on THEIR land (the Middle East)!" and, "It's a sovereign nation!" and, "Bush is a terrorist!" and, "Bush is a chickenhawk. You can't support a war unless you are a soldier yourself!" and so forth. The vast, vast majority of the people who said that stuff (not just here) were big time Obama supporters. Well, now Obama (who also has never served in the military) is doing what they were SO against. (Also, as we discussed in another thread, he is currently doing absolutely nothing to diminish troop levels in Iraq.)

What do you think of Obama's recent war decision? If you are against it, please express just how against it you are. Feel free to use name calling.
