Like War, Sort Of…

Marines Begin Major Surge-Like Action in Restive Helmand, Afghanistan

Surge-like in one respect, at least: They’ll be out in the countryside in small forts, protecting and interacting with the locals. These Marines will not be tasked with hunt-and-kill missions much, but presumably (I hope) other fighters will.

But this is Obama. Who knows.

I may not know, but I can guess. Hussein Obama send US troops to hunt and kill his former (I guess) co-religionists? Unthinkable.

Besides, Obama regards the US military as basically a jumped-up community services/organizing operation. He’ll probably force them all to use tazers and get rid of those nasty guns, next.
