    I have very violent impulses when I see "omg" written anywhere. Please refrain from promoting that ignorance.

    Anyway, why should it matter that he won an award? What everything comes down to is whether or not his actions promote humanity. Consider the other side of the war, yes , from the enemy's point of view. We are the devil, and they are fighting for their god. Now look at our point of view. They are the devil, and we are fighting for our god. This is rediculous of us and them mutually, even though partisan politicians blind us with their games. God is not on our side, and not on theirs either. In fact, He probably is sick of our prayers of vengance.

    Nothings been decided yet. It'll be a few more weeks before Obama announces what Our long term strategy is going to be for Afghanistan... All you're hearing Now- is rumors, that change every day...

    I saw 13,000 on the news. It figures. Politician trying to please everyone! The generals ask for 40,000. The liberals want 0, so he sends 13,000? Not enough to do the job, but just enough to be targets. Typical half-assed response!
