Today Obama arranged to send 17,000 troops to afghanistan. No debate, no discussion, no agreement. And most importantly no reason WHY.
1. As Americans you should be questioning this.
2. As Obama supporters, you should be appalled at his lack of transparency and his total lack of objective in committing troops to war.
Am I the only one that sees this? Why am I the only one angry? How many promises has this guy broken in just a month?

I believe he said during the campaign he would be doing this, but only 7,000 during the transition the count went up to 30,000. And it was troops that had been previously positioned for Iraq.
