BTW: Afghanistan is getting much less money then Iraq and the bill is

Kids are being left behind but somebody forgot to tell the president ;-)
Still wondering who all gets to tell him and forgets. Seems like he does
ask the right questions by himself and has to be told everthing.
Hmmmm,
I learned that information isn't being brought to you but that you have to
request them. We call it "Hol- und Bringschuld" ;-)
