Having this f*ck out of the Cabinet alone probably warrants Obama getting the NPP! Personally, I have my doubts that 40K troops will "win" us anything in Afghanistan. It sounds like a number arrived at by a committee--just enough to sound halfway impressive to the public, like half of a college football stadium full of troops--but not enough to really accomplish the job that the ill-informed masses don't comprehend due to lack of understanding of the region (thanks, US education system and MSM...) Couple that with the opium/heroin trade (which side ARE we on here?) and the lack of resolve of the American people to go full-bore here (somewhere around 50% or less, I believe, support the war), and you've got a recipe for another Vietnam, albeit one without coconuts and mosquitoes...
