Troops to Spare?

Sure, why not? Weve got plenty to spare, what with 35,000 in Korea spending 6 decades plus; 40,000 in
Europe guarding against the Russian invasion and now Afghanistan. Makes sense to me. Besides, like
the Iraq war, Mr Cheney said oil money would pay for it, that the Iraqi's would throw us parades of
flowers, and be eternally grateful, so Im confident the afghans will also. Maybe the Chinese will let
us share their multi billion dollar mining contract, awarded last year by the grateful Afghan
government. Not that the Karzai goverment took bribes, nah, they wouldnt do that.  The fast and loose
way we abuse our troops for political ends is sickening.
