The question begs to be asked "Is Hussein Obama losing the war in Afhanistan by not listening to his Cdrs in the field?"


Congress' intelligence heads: Taliban stronger - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of the congressional committees said Sunday they believed that the Taliban had grown stronger since President Barack Obama sent 33,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan in 2010.
The pessimistic report by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., challenges Obama's own assessment last week in his visit to Kabul that the "tide had turned" and that "we broke the Taliban's momentum."
 
Who the **** cares? **** Afghanistan. Not our problem. Bring our boys and girls home.

I think the bigger question is why are you still talking about this Hussein guy? If you mean Barack Obama, why are you so unable to call him by name?

under obama the taliban has grown stronger,but the larger number of troops really wasnt it,it had more to do with the expanded use of drones that cant differentiate civilians or enemies.

if anyone understood how fragile that region is or understood coin or (counter insurgency) strategy they would see why such actions are harmful.

Yo... I got a better idea... let´s get the **** out. Any of them try any **** in our country? We blow them back to the... what comes before the stone age? They´re there anyways so we can´t send them back to that period.

Indeed.

You definitely can't blow the Taliban back to the stone age because they'll just be like "FREE UPGRADE!"

These are people who literally live on less than a dollar a day and are happy about it. You know what? Maybe they do deserve Sharia law and all that other crazy **** they want to try. North America and Europe seem to have come out of the dark ages of slavery and serial misogyny relatively well. They, as human beings, should be able to do the same.

So I'm supposed to believe Congress here?

What does it matter? All this comes down to is more fear. You ask me, the real terrorist here is our government. Always trying to keep us in line with new fear tactics. Oh the Taliban is stronger! But let's not consider if that's because of our aggressive, interventionist policies in the region...no sir! Just give up some more freedom and go cower in that corner, and we'll tell you the next thing to fear!

It is his name, Barack Hussein Obama.

It is. But people typically putting emphasis on his middle name are doing so only for cheap political points and nothing more. Dumb tactics used by idiots should be called out for what they are. The last thing we should be doing at this point is encouraging more stupid.
 
Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires. bring them home.

Its the problem of the troops there when Hussein Obama did not send the 50,000 troops the Cdrs in the field requested and many of them died.....That was just to appease the left in his party.......so very sad.
 
You lefties always want to cut and run....You did it in Nam when we could have won that war and your doing it now...........Oh and telling the enemy when you are leaving is one of the most stupid things Hussein Obama has done.....

Where have I called for us to "cut and run"? Oops, proved you wrong again NP. Getting to be a habit.
 
Wasn't it Nixon (a Republican) who worked to end the Vietnam war, Navy?

Yup. Nixon fought for a lot of things. He tried to introduce universal healthcare, he gave us the EPA,...

You know by today's standards, Nixon was a saint. All he did was lie, and that's pretty much status quo these days.

Don't believe I specified you Redress, you were to young for Nam....what is the matter, you have a guilty conscience?:)

I am well more concerned for the suffering and cause of my own people than for peoples of other countries. They have to worry about themselves and be able to do for themselves. We must be able to do for ourselves.

You did specify me. I am a lefty. When you get your facts right, I won't correct you. That does not seem likely to happen any time soon.

Thats the attitude! **** the poor and helpless. I think that we need more consistency. If the rich are required to care for the poor here and so many liberals and democrats actively fight for that, then the rich (US) should be helping the poor (much of the rest of the world) as well. Consistency. One or the other. People are people. people don't stop being people at the US border. Thinking that just because a person is different from you they dont deserve to be helped when they are down is horrible. Americans are not the only people who deserve to eat and live.
