Obama wants U.S. troop surge in Afghanistan

Hey you antiwar activists. Why are you not protesting Afghanistan?

"Sounding presidential, Senator Barack Obama said Wednesday he would order a surge of U.S. troops – perhaps 15,000 or more – to Afghanistan as soon as he reached the White House.

“'We’re confronting an urgent crisis in Afghanistan,' Mr. Obama, the Democratic contender and now clear front-runner to replace George W. Bush, said Wednesday.

“'It’s time to heed the call … for more troops. That’s why I’d send at least two or three additional brigades to Afghanistan,' he said in his most hawkish promise to date.

"A U.S. army brigade includes about 5,000 soldiers along with tanks, armoured personnel carriers and helicopter gunships."

Are the antiwar activists on Afghanistan Missing in Action (MIA)? Afterall, this was Bush's war too. Hit him on Iraq but not on Afghanistan?

Where are the "OBAMA = BUSH" or "NO CHANGE IN AFGHANISTAN" signs?
