Amazing, the two headlines you have today.

Nobel Peace Prize jury defends Obama decision
www.msnbc.msn.com...

Obama approved 13,000 more troops to Afghanistan
news.yahoo.com...

I'll say this loud and clear - if this kind of OXYMORONIC occurrence had happened when Bush was in office, the news media outlets would be going apes**t - Keith Olbermann would be screaming himself into a heart attack and the Obama puppets on ATS would be screaming bloody murder.

there's another one to add to the list of Today's news

U.S. Puppet Karzai says would welcome more American troops
www.reuters.com...

WASHINGTON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Tuesday he supports U.S. General Stanley McChrystal's assessment on Afghanistan and would welcome more American troops.

McChrystal, the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, is advocating a beefed-up counterinsurgency strategy that would include deploying 40,000 additional troops next year.

"I'm fully behind him for what he is seeking in his report," Karzai said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Asked whether he would welcome additional troops, Karzai replied, "Yes."


Make no mistake Karzai is an american puppet
Even Ron Paul admitted so

I think Obama will be the one that does something DRASTIC to be THE ONE that finally wins an afghanistani war.

Maybe a million more drones, or some atomic blast with a wide radius

you can quote me on this, something will be done!

They apparently HAVEN'T been bombed to smithereens as the struggle continues.

When you kill enough, THEN it stops.

We're just not there yet.

And with out dumbass tactics, we'll never get there.

This reporter must not have been paying attention to the fact that Obama was mulling over an additional 40.000 troops for a few months and that it has been in the headlines for a while already. Now that they have decided on 13.000 all of a sudden it's unannounced?

The real reason for the surge of violence in Afghanistan - LIES!

Bashir Noorzai is one of the brothers heading the largest tribe in Afganistan. One of his other brothers may be a CIA stooge.. Bashir Noorzai was tricked into coming to the United States, he was told he would receive an award from then president Bush. He was wined and dined at an expensive hotel for two weeks and then at the direction of the head of the DEA, handcuffs were snapped on him.

He was the man responsible for bringing to the allied forces in Afganistan trucks filled with their most feared weapon - Stinger Missiles...

The operation to get him to come to the us was assisted by a shadowy entity known as Rosetta. There are pictures and signed receipts for hookers and cash paid to a Pakistani diplomat, and a Land Rover as a gift... yes there were even signed receipts for "blowjobs"...yes, you read that right, blowjobs...and yes, the pakistani diplomat would count as "bribery of a Foreign government Official... a felony..(under) the FCPA, The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

When the Judge started asking too many questions the feds changed their prosecutors 3 times, each time switching to a younger and less saavy prosecutor who would not have to lie to evade the judicial questioning in chambers.

When Noorzai was arrested he was placed in a cell without windows so he could not face East to pray towards Mecca. This is now the BIG WIN for the head of US DEA...and may have been the factor (because the timing was IDENTICAL) that creating the "Surge" against allied troops by infuriating the largest clan in Afganistan. A clan of green eyed mountain men...who grow the only crop that will grow on that arid wasteland... All by violation of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
