I wonder what they were talking about:

President Barack Obama called his war council together Monday as he moves toward a decision on whether to add more U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said he’s not aware of any more such strategy sessions being scheduled, the latest signal that Obama is closing in on a revamped war strategy after several weeks of review. Gibbs said the soonest Obama would announce a decision would be next week.

Commanding Gen. Stanley McChrystal has said more U.S. forces were needed to head off a U.S. failure in the fight against Taliban militants in Afghanistan. He has recommended about 40,000 additional troops.

I like to think that Obama and company were coming up with clever ways of telling Gen. McChrystal to go blow a homeless tranny while making plans for getting our soldiers out of Afghanistan.  I also like to think that they were discussion how to spend the trillions of dollars they’re going to save by pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan on social programs like health care, education, feeding the hungry, and providing housing for the houseless.

Damn, I really need to stop smoking and drinking, because it makes me sound like an annoying idealist.

This is how the meeting really went: Obama got down on his knees and took a load of Gen. McChrystal’s troops right in the mouth. Then he snowballed those salty fuckers into Hillary’s mouth while approving 34,000 additional troops. After Hillary swallowed Gen. McChrystal’s soldiers, Obama and company wrote the speech he’s going to give the American people next week. Then once the speech was finished everybody went home and burned a sack of thousand dollar bills the defense industry gave them in front of thirty homeless people, because the tears of the homeless helps them sleep better at night.

Christ, I need another drink.

I bet the Taliban are excited.

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday announced a temporary increase in the size of the U.S. Army that would boost the force by up to 22,000 troops for three years.

He told reporters at a news briefing that the increase, intended to cope with strains from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, would raise the total strength of the Army to 569,000 soldiers.

You don’t think this increase has anything to do with July being the deadliest month for troops in Afghanistan, do you? I mean, our government didn’t look at the 30 American soldiers deaths and say, “Listen, we need to increase the number of live troops going into Afghanistan in order to offset the number of dead troops going out. So how many more do you think we need to send in?”

No, that’s crazy talk. Our government wouldn’t do that. They’re just increasing the number of troops because they want to win, that’s all.

Anyways, you know what I’m hapy about? I’m happy we aren’t going to spend more money sending these troops overseas, because I don’t think our economy could handle it.

What’s that? We are going spend more money?

The Pentagon plans to absorb an initial expansion cost of $1.1 billion through fiscal year 2010, which begins October 1, without additional funding from Congress. But Gates suggested more funds could be necessary in fiscal years 2011 and 2012.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. Robert Gates suggesting more funds could be necessary in 2011 and 2012 is the same thing as me suggesting to a hooker it could be necessary for her to blow me.

I don’t understand this shit. We have an economic and health care crisis, which is causing both Republicans and Democrats to whine about the national debt, yet neither party says anything about spending money on these idiotic wars. Why is that?
