    Obama's War

    Might as well refer to Afghanistan as such, given that he's ordered a surge in troops and actions, and casualties are consequently up sharply, rising to levels not seen during Bush's "surge". So... Where are the throngs of hippies, leftist shitheads and other assorted derelicts staging...
