Jag, you better nail this thing.

33% of his viewers agree with the surge.

67% against.

And predictably, FOX will probably bash him no matter plus or minue 35k troops.

Post by: shootfighter1 on December 01, 2009, 05:10:38 PM: kc's right, he did promise more focus on Afghanastan and said that was the war to focus on.
I wish we could change the mission and draw down troops. We are wasting so much $...but we don't have the intell to know exactly what's going on.

Good point. I don't get everyone's bitching about it now. He was very clear when he was running.

Winner gets a date with me at Niagra Falls.

I'm betting the troop surge number will be controversial with some people saying it's too much and others not enough.

Did I nail it? :D

Looks like Shootfighter & 240 want dates with you in Niagara Falls. Should I step aside and let them take it? ;D
