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?

Actually, transparency and keeping a campaign promise is exactly what he's doing. That's why noone is questioning this and why us "Obama supporters" are not "appalled at his lack of transparency."
I know you conservatives are used to being told one thing and then nothing happening. Fortunately, action is something I can get used to.
I appreciate the re-evaluation of focus on the true reason we are in the Middle East. Afghanistan is where the War on Terror is. Iraq is where Bush's war on "the man who tried to kill my dad" is.
Cite for Bush's quote.
