Politics as usual

The New York times tells me that President Obama is sending more troops to Afghanistan. I can't help feeling a little betrayed, honestly. I mean, I thought I voted for the guy who was getting us out of this war. Well, this one and the other one we're still fighting in Iraq.

Now, lest I sound irrational, let me clarify my point: I'm not saying that it isn't difficult being the President. I'm not saying that national security isn't important. I'm not saying that the situation isn't complicated as all fuck. All I'm saying is give peace a chance.
