The funny thing about Socrates is that he thought he had won the argument by not actually answering anyone’s questions.
He actually just annoyed the shit out of everyone. So they killed him.

ugh what do you mean? the sending 30,000 troops thing? The situation is rather complicated and I for won am happy that he made the unpopular choice. He went against the majority of people who voted for him and he chose to do this even after he was given a ‘Hey think long and hard on this whole Afghanistan thing’ prize. That took balls. I am liberal and I dislike the situation as much as the next guy…hopefully increasing the amount of troops we have in by almost half will discourage a lot of possible opposition.
I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to do this.
FACT - There are approximately 100 Al queda members in Afghanistan. 100.
If we couldn’t find them with 60,000 people, what will 30,000 more change?
FACT - Pres. Hamid Karzai’s brother is a Heroin trade ringleader.
So much for a “Stable government.” Obama downplayed the corruption.
FACT - Bush proposed similar strategies for Iraq (surge, military police, etc.)
Neither worked, we’re still in Iraq. Contrary to media coverage,
Iraq is still a shit storm. Not to mention Iran. Our hands are already full.
