  It seems that as president one is required to deal with reality (eventually!) in order to try and keep the country safe. Ignoring dangers is so much easier on the campaign trail.

  yes, that was quite surprising ... all of a sudden we're in danger again? can we spell j-u-s-t-i-f-i-c-a-t-i-o-n?
  
  i guess i still don't understand how this surge is going to eliminate the threat of terrorism, i mean, aren't these so-called terrorists everywhere?
  
  p.s. i can disagree with the President and still support our troops, which i do, all the way. they are sacrificing everything.

  as suggested, go read crossing the rubicon. after that, spend some time with any of the native americans of this country. if you need specifics, go to the agriculturally rich region of the four corners, you know, where many of the "reservations" are. spend some time with those folks, if you can stomach the rampant alcoholism and squalid living conditions that our government has bestowed upon them. then, after you've spent a few weeks with them, ask them how they feel about america's "colonial" period of the 1700's.
  
  after that, go read american dynasty. then we can have an intelligent discussion.

If it's right, keep it right, if it's wrong, make it right." And as a former military man, we didn't have a say in the mission, we just had to get the job done. That's why I support the troops. Not the policy, but the men and women who are doing their jobs.

  I agree with that. The hope & change was all very nebulous. When pressed during the campaign it really came down to the warm fuzzies his charisma gave everyone, PLUS he was NOT Bush.
  
  IMHO, he has proven himself to be nothing more than a run of the mill politician. Not the transformative & transcendent figure he & his handlers packaged & sold to the American electorate.
  
  There is something incredibly political in his timeline. We're surging in for eighteen months then pulling out in the summer of 2011 with all the troops home by 2012, which holy moly, happens to be a presidential election year when he will be seeking a second term.

I disagree, BD. He was pretty much saying the same thing before he was elected, calling Bush out for choosing a conflict with Iraq when Afghanistan was the real war we should have been concentrating on.

Plus, we were and are already there, folks. He's calling for an escalation now, probably in a long term/short term analysis to win and remove an American presence from the country as soon as possible.

War is never pretty, but this is a move of a pragmatic nature, given all the variables. Anyone have another proposal? I have one: nobody would go for it. Instate a gas tax, and make a plan to absolutely eliminate the need for foreign oil within 2 years. Suck it up, people...just like the Danish did.

OK, so we lazy Americans won't do that. There would be a squawk on that heard loud and deep from across a platform of voters, Republican and Democrats alike. Hence, Obama talking about our country's "prosperity." Not sure he has another choice?

  It is refreshing to see someone addressing the heart of the issue. Americas addiction to foreign oil is and always will be at the center of the issue. It is like the 800 pound gorilla no one talks about.
  
  Politicians avoid it like the plague and Big Oil pays for their silence. Keep America on Big Oils t%t and don't let up while all the minions and common folk buy the terror war.
  
  This is one of the greatest hoaxes played on us and we continue with this moral quest to wipe out terrorism in the world. Hell we are still catching Nazis 60 plus years later. How are we going to erradicate this vermin any easier.
  
  If we had an alternative fuel (which we do by the way and is non-poluting) that would power our existing technology and pulled out of the middle east, including Israel, we could in effect let the place ignite itself and who would care.

  There is no flip of the switch to fix any of it. There is technology that has been developed to run our cars and machinery on hydrogen from water. The military and NASA have been working on it but it is not for us as Big Oil has conveniently blocked its introduction.
  
  If Big Oil could begin selling us water then you might get the chance to use it.
  
  Clean coal, nuclear, off shore drilling help only to perpetuate our nead for oil and do nothing to wean us off of it.

  Hydgogen fuel cells are the latest craze promoted by guess who? Big Oil. Why would they want you to switch to another source of energy? Because it requires a lot of electricity generated by fossil fuels to produce. This way we all stay on the Big Oil t%t and we are placated by dreaming that we are being environmentally responsible and that there is a renewable energy we will not have to get from overseas. A common shortsighted American solution.
  
  The technology I refer to is an actual onboard hydrogen generator that produces hydrogen on demand. No storage, no potential bomb or fire. The only by product is water. If you want to investigate this farther then follow this link.

  I will grant you that the originator of this technology is a bit of a loon, but most inventors are. At least the successful ones.

  Definitely not. In order to do so though we must first become energy independent. As long as you are dependent on someone else for resources you are stuck with what they are selling. We must maximize the use of our own natural resources, by what ever means necessary. Drill ANWR, drill of the cost of Cali. Once done we can began to make bigger strides to getting off oil completely. Oil touches everything we use, thats a single point of failure. Oil has for far too long influenced foriegn policy.

  Explain the decline of the dollar and the confidence the rest of the world has in it. For so many years the trade for oil energy has been based on the US dollar. Recently Saudi Arabia and soon to follow OPEC countries will be trading oil in euros which have proven to be more stable in the latest crisis.
  
  Carrying on two wars and spending so much money to bail out the very rich we are set up to recieve not only a royal butt kicking but a woop a*s but kicking when our number gets called.
  
  What good will all our conquests and military strength get us then? We will be defeated by our short sighted behavior and arrogance to believe we are greater than we are.
