With respect to the lack of military manpower hamerping our efforts in this region, whatever became of the approximately 92,000 sldiers and Marines CANDIDATE Obama promised us:
"Expand to Meet Military Needs on the Ground: A major stress on our troops comes from insufficient ground
forces. Barack Obama supports plans to increase the size of the Army by 65,000 troops and the Marines by
27,000 troops" (Source: http://obama.3cdn.net/303d3f8f5e85133bae_9ypmvyari.pdf)

How many are currently in the pipeline--at least in basic training at this stage? Is this ANOTHER campaign "promise" that we bsed our votes on that will fall to the wayside?

I'm sure there are very many people out here in the real world who don't care because they Think he is a democrat. Some hope that if they wait long enough, everything will turn out to the good. Some are ignorant. Some are hard headed. Some are looking forward to the downfall of the country. And some such as myself don't have any idea what we can do about it. I am sure there are quiet a few liberals in the government who now realize their mistake, but they can't admit it for fear of loseing the job that obama gave them. And some are just downright nasty mean.
