Obama to unveil plan to add troops in Afghanistan

War-weary Americans will support more fighting in Afghanistan once they understand the perils of losing, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday, announcing he was ready to spell out war plans virtually sure to include tens of thousands more U.S. troops.

He is expected to make his case to the nation in a speech next Tuesday night, even as the military completes plans to begin sending in reinforcements in the spring.

Eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks led the U.S. into Afghanistan, Obama said it is still in America's vital national interest to "dismantle and destroy" al-Qaida terrorists and extremist allies. "I intend to finish the job," he said.

Obama said he would announce after Thanksgiving his decision on additional troops, and military, congressional and other sources said the occasion would be a Tuesday night televised speech laying out his plans for expanding the Afghan conflict - and then ultimately ending America's military role.

Republican critics have been pressing him for months to decide on a next step in Afghanistan, but Obama has said repeatedly he was more concerned with making a decision that was right rather than quick.

Neither he nor his advisers has detailed an exit plan, but the strategy he is expected to describe next week would include specific dates that deployments could be slowed or stopped if necessary, a senior military official said. The official and others spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision was not final.

With U.S. combat deaths climbing on Obama's watch and more than half the American public opposed to escalation, the president seemed to acknowledge Tuesday that he has a lot to explain.

"I feel very confident that when the American people hear a clear rationale for what we're doing there and how we intend to achieve our goals, that they will be supportive," he said, speaking at a White House news conference with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

"I can tell you, as I've said before, that it is in our strategic interest, in our national security interest to make sure that al-Qaida and its extremist allies cannot operate effectively" in the area, he said. "We are going to dismantle and degrade their capabilities and ultimately dismantle and destroy their networks. And Afghanistan's stability is important to that process."

Military officials expect an infusion of approximately 32,000 to 35,000 troops to begin in February or March, the largest expansion since the beginning of the war and one that could bring the cost above $75 billion annually.

Returning to a campaign theme, Obama said the Afghan effort had been starved for resources and attention during the Bush administration and he intended to finish the war.

To that end, much of the White House discussion during months of deliberations has centered on how the U.S. would end its military role.

Obama held his 10th war council meeting Monday evening, and officials said it was his last. The Situation Room sessions that began in September were the most visible markers of a strategic and political debate inside the administration about how to address a resurgent Taliban and other insurgents and whether the U.S. was creating its own enemies the longer it remained.

Military officials have said Obama is choosing one of the least risky options he was presented, but one still expected to lead to increased U.S. casualties without guarantee of success.

War commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal has warned that the war risks failure without a large troop infusion. Although he preferred a higher figure - about 40,000 - McChrystal is expected to tell Congress next week that this lesser addition still gives him the tools to better combat insurgents in the south and east of Afghanistan.

The expected increase would include at least three Army brigades and a single, larger Marine Corps contingent, officials said.

Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress has been miffed that the administration blocked McChrystal from testifying during what many Republicans considered an inordinately long decision-making period........

News from The Associated Press

FDIC is Officially Bankrupt

WASHINGTON, DC - Today the FDIC released its quarterly report (http://www2.fdic.gov/qbp/2009sep/qbp.pdf), revealing that the Deposit Insurance Fund is bankrupt and now stands at negative $8.2 billion dollars. (page 13/26) Central planner and FDIC Chairwoman Sheila Bair has confirmed separately that future bank failures will be funded by the bailout fund allotted to the FDIC.

If you are new to the US banking scheme, you might question why banks and the FDIC are going bankrupt -- don't they HAVE all the money? The answer is they do not, banks in July 2008 had lent out about 99.4% of all the money they had on deposit. This is despite the rather insane truth that the Federal Reserve can create more money whenever it desires.

The FDIC had predicted its bankruptcy in a September letter. I had been following the FDIC closely for the past 18 months, but I finally threw my hands in the air after seeing how the report was rigged to keep the DIF fund positive in the Q2 2009 report, as I reported in "FDIC: 'We Aren't Bankrupt and Everything is A-OK.'"

However, the best friends of the FED banking cartel, the United States Congress, has a lot more nice surprises in store for America's working class. Politicians like to wave around one hand as they mess around with the other hand behind their backs, out of sight. While all the fury of the concerned is focused on the health care spend-and-tax bill, HR 3996, dubbed by yours truly as the "Automatic Bailout Bill" will grant the FED the ability to bailout any "individual, trust, or corporation" (section 1701) as well as impose a bureaucratic system of unneeded regulations.

Teen bitten in the neck at theatre after watching Twilight movie


NORTON SHORES, Mich. (WZZM) - A teenager watching the vampire movie "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" at a Norton Shores theater was bitten on the neck by another movie-goer.

Erin Westrate says the 30 or 40-year-old man sitting in front of her at the 5:00pm showing of New Moon on Friday. She says he was acting creepy from the movies' opening scene.

"Every so often if I said something or my friend said something he would lean back and make a sexual comment that was very unnecessary and not needed," says Erin.

Once the movie was over she tried to leave the theater but the line to leave was slow.

Erin then says he grabbed her by the back of the hair and pulled her down and bit her on the neck. The bite did not break the girl's skin.

Lt. Tim LaVigne, Norton Shores Police Department said that incident happened right in the theater, in the walk way walking out.

LaVigne said that the theater assisted the police department with their surveillance systems and were able to get an image of the suspect as he was leaving the theater. Police are now hoping the public can help provide them with his name.

Police say the man could be facing an assault charge.

The suspect is described as a white male with short, dark spiky hair and is believed to be approximately 45 years old and 5 feet tall. He was wearing a brown corduroy jacket and jeans at the time and was described as being unshaven.

Angry Comcast Worker Calls Ex A "Whore" In Program Info


Comcast subscribers were in a for a pleasant (?) surprise when tuning into "Rock of Love" recently. An apparently bitter employee used the program's info as an outlet for his built-up resentment toward an ex-girlfriend. We don't know if she, too, is a Comcast subscriber, just that she's a whore.
