I'm OK with Tahoe's scenerio.

Obama paid a visit, and did not pose next to a Mission Accomplished banner.
Oh, and this news is disturbing:

KABUL, Afghanistan — American and NATO troops firing from passing convoys and military checkpoints have killed 30 Afghans and wounded 80 others since last summer, but in no instance did the victims prove to be a danger to troops, according to military officials in Kabul.
We have shot an amazing number of people, but to my knowledge, none has ever proven to be a threat,” said Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, who became the senior American and NATO commander in Afghanistan last year. His comments came during a recent videoconference to answer questions from troops in the field about civilian casualties.
Obama is a war monger. Just trying to make money for his oil stocks.
QUIT HANDING OUT ALL THOSE NO BID CONTRACTS YOU MORON!
Obama is a war criminal!
I think you're looking for the Iraq thread. Afghani oil? If significant Afghani oil were found, Obama would become the fifth face on Mount Rushmore.Quote:

AFAICT, the "no bid" contracts are down relative to the Bush era, especially considering the magnitude of dollars involved. There was some flap awhile back about Obama giving some million (not billion) dollar no-bid deal out to some big campaign donor for fixing the Afghani judicial system, but that was withdrawn. I remember thinking at the time "it's millions, not billions". There's innumeracy on all sides in no-bid crap. Obama made some promise to do no-bid contracts for anything >$25k, not realizing that bids often cost far more than $25k to generate and evaluate, especially due to the byzantine torturous nature of dealing with guv'mint. The cost of bidding will be passed to the taxpayers. The real issues are fake competitive bids where most of the underlying subcontractors play all sides and make money no matter what.
Sorry Mxy...I didn't mean all those things literally. I was just being Tahoe.
