Afghanistan.

While the nation is seemingly at war with each other over health care reform, we have forgotten that we are in a "real" war (or 2). Today 30+ lawmakers are meeting with PBO at the White House to discuss different avenues in Afghanistan. Don't you just love it! The commanding Gen. Stanley McChrystal is incapable to draft a proper plan to win this thing... and kick some Taliban ass... here comes "congress" to save the day. Phew. I am willing to bet my inheritance on the fact that these law makers have no idea what it is like being a solider in an active war. Instead of worrying about "our guys" they worry about the rights of the bat sh*t crazy terrorists who, if given the chance would blow away you, me, and Sen. I heart tablecloths and Rep. make love not war without hesitation. Instead of worrying about our soldiers safety, they worry about how the world sees the United States, writing an almost laughable rules of engagement memo to be handed out to every soldier protecting their backsides. Do not fire unless fired upon. So, even if you have UBL himself in your cross hairs, he has to point his AK-47 at you and pull the trigger before you can take the SOB out. Sounds like a winning strategy to me.

From my vantage point, the first one to fire was UBL and the Taliban (who choose to harbor this SOB... I hate them both)... apparently we have all forgotten what happened on a clear September day. Remember, over 2,500 of our civilians were murdered Rep. Politically correct. No need to wait. They engaged us. We did not invade their pathetic excuse of a nation without reason. After all, we are Americans. We are reasonable. We don't cut peoples heads off in the name of some higher power. No, that is not us. We don't run away from our problems. We face them. We don't run out of burning buildings... we run into them.

Please do not play politics as usual. Think of our soldiers first. Put them first for once. Health care reform can wait. National security cannot. Listen to those who know what is really going on. Put your ideologies aside. Shock us. Fight for those who are fighting for you, me and our Commander in Chief.
