yeah, i don't get it either, other than another Faux outrage for Faux news...

I was definitely disappointed when Obama announced, in early 2009 i believe it was, that he was going with a "surge" of ground forces in Afghanistan... seemed like a losing strategy to me... more boots on the ground only encourages the extremists and then when the inevitable collateral damage occurs to innocents it just creates more enemies... and if i remember correctly Biden was against it from the get-go... so why the criticism of Biden?

the one thing is that Obama did say beforehand he was going to go with whatever the military brass in charge thought was the best plan of action... so he let them try their surge... but now it's way past time to surge our asses out of there
