30,000 more troops.........thats the presidents answer to the quagmire in Afghanistan....
Mike Barnicle said it right this morning, he said the numbers we will be looking at are the casualties, how many young men and women have to die for a corrupt government over there. Will Afghanistan look any different in 18 months, in 5 years even? I have serious doubts. Actually I can't imagine that remote country ever changing.
I do understand the presidents reasoning, I do understand his fears, but we have been there for years and another 18 months will make a difference?? I don't see it, sorry Mr. President, I don't see it....
But President Obama is my president and I support him and feel his heavy burdens, and remember this is not his fault. He did not choose this war. I must put aside my anti-war stance and stand with my president.
IF America succeeds in 18 months what will that tell us about Obama's administration compared to Bushes? Sorry, with all the vileness coming from Cheney I had to get that in!
