The Internets Today

I’ve been reading some of what has been rattling around in the internets tubes out there today and that is the best way to describe it. Out there.

After reading this post by Jonathan Schwarz several times my reaction remains the same. Huh? I must be missing something.

There also seems to be a meme spreading out in tube land that the people who are critical of Obama’s decision to send more troops to Afghanistan are wrong to criticize Obama because:

• Obama is simply keeping his campaign promise to escalate the war in Afghanistan, you stupid fucks!
  


• Ignore history. The fact that the Soviets couldn’t win in Afghanistan is irrelevant, you stupid fucks!


• Obama says we will send more troops now so that we can leave Afghanistan in 18 months, you stupid fucks!

And this stuff is from leftist leaning sites. Go figure.
