502 Days to GO!

-Yep, only 502 days until PP loses his re-election bid, big time.
-Last night's 13 minute anti-war campaign speech, PP did what no other previous Chief Exec ever done. PP conveyed to our enemy detail troop withdraw schedules. And yes, the Afghan war is on-going and the surge is working according to Gen. Petracus, but Petracus, is being " promoted" to a DC desk job. Some dove general probably will replace him?
-PP is keeping his word given back in 2009... he agreed to send 30,000 surge combat troops to Afghanistan,(the good war) but he will start a draw down of 10,000 by 07/11He hedged in the withdraw timeline and said all 10,000 would be removed by end of year. Petracus must of had a teaching moment with PP...the fighting season doesn't end till near years end. But the balance of the surge troops 20,000 would be heading state-side by 09/12? HAULT! That is before the fight season is over in 2012, BUT is before campaigning season really gets serious. Anyhow, the balance of the troops ~75,000 will be gone by end of 2014 (two years after he is out of office). (Uncertain when NATO or any UN troops leave or maybe they are gone already?). US troops killed over 10 years was 4,500 in Iraq; 1,500 YTD in Afghanistan and cost nearly $ 1 T. This money could of been used to create new industry/jobs. End wars! (no winning a war or victory was uttered by PP.) No nation building. Reclaim dream!
-Lybia, there are no hostilities there? Really? No US boots on the ground...that's a white lie...forward observers calling in air strikes, but they could be CIA folks, don't count. The US is supporting NATO, flying NATO sorties, but planes are unarmed? Really? Maybe another little white lie? Truth would help PP's creditability, but continues with legal speak... like the Zipper.
-First time unemployment claims rose over 200,000 last week(2X of last 3 weeks). Trending in the wrong direction, as are most other indicators. Wait until the printing presses stop and debt reduction plans kick in.
