President Obama says "our security is at stake." So he's ordered 30,000 more U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan. That nearly triples the force Obama inherited when he took over from George Bush.

Our Security Blanket

The president is calling
On each woman and each man
To support his latest order
Of troops to Afghanistan.
Thirty thousand more must go,
Like it yes, or like it not.
The war is long and bloody,
But the only one we've got.
He wants us to support him
Says he's handing us no jive;
In eighteen months he'll bring back home
The one's that are still alive.
Seems the Afghans just can't do it;
Their efforts have all "bombed"
Some folks may get the feeling
We're being Vietnamed.
