Shocker - Obama Says Afghanistan Needs More Troops

Obama is nothing if not audacious. After 143 total days working in the Senate and a mere 48 hours in Afghanistan, Obama declares that we need more troops.

Really? Perhaps Obama and the media should listen to our Commander in Chief, who has been saying the same thing to our NATO allies for a long time now. (After all, this is a NATO mission, which Obama may have forgotten.) Incidentally, as Chairman of the Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has oversight of our NATO allies, Obama has not held a single hearing to date. He must not have been too worried about it up until now.
