re: #48 wozzablog

The reason that DU, Kos and the left isn’t a fan of the speech is because he’s sending more troops to Afghanistan. The far left wanted the troops home. They wanted cut and run and they’re not getting it.

Democrats in Congress wanted the troops home, and are agitating for a cost-benefit analysis - even as they spend insane sums on pork. So, of course their online contingent isn’t happy about this.

There’s so much that isn’t to like about the speech from all sides.

But the bottom line is that there will be a troop increase - a surge to help stabilize the situation and roll back any Taliban advances.

Moreover, I don’t expect much from our NATO allies - they simply don’t have more forces to send.
