Obama's Afghan Plan: About 40K More Troops

When you look at all the ramifications surrounding this decision, taking time to review matters on all sides before committing more combat troops only makes sense:

1. Awaiting on the Iraqui elections makes sense because you first need to know exactly what the new government electorates intend to do to increase and maintain security for their own country before pulling out the remaining U.S. forces who are in essence acting as local the police force throughout the country. This is important because it is these combat troops who will be needed at some point to help secure Afghanistan.

2. Awaiting until it was determined exactly who the next Afghan president was going to be was just as crucial if not moreso because you need to who you're dealing with as head-of-state and know how he intends to prooceed on Afghan foreign policy and military strategy concerning the war especially considering you already have combat troops committed in-country.

3. Since you're not sure if the U.N. or your U.N. allies will commit more combat troops in theater, you have to know exactly what you're strategy is going to be and how you intend to implement it.

4. Pakistan is a crucial element in this terror end-game where our War on Terror is concerned. Since the Taliban has become a thorn in their side recently, the Pakistan government has begun to take a more proactive stance against them. You needed to know how serious Pakistan would be in helping to secure not only the region where the Taliban and insurgents have been using as supply routes, but also if they'd stay the course.

You have to answer these such questions before making a decision on how to proceed with Afghanistan. Unfortunately, not everyone is so willing to exercise patience nor act with sound judgement and decisiveness when the situation calls for it. Some would rather you just throw bodies out there and let them shot at anything that moves. (Sarcasm there at the end...)
 
Why don't you just go ahead and call me a nigger and get it off your chest? I know you're itching to do it. Or, Uncle Tom, maybe?

WTF? :confused: Where did the need for a reply like this come from? I don't recall reading any post in this thread that went anywhere near a racial slur especially not that one? :confused:

I'm black, so I can talk to another black man however the **** I want. If the mods won't do anything about his personal attacks, I reckon it's up to me to put him in his place.
 
Just stating facts for you my simple minded friend. I guess in your case you just need something to bitch about.

They don't know the magic you're bringin'

Yes yes, you'll put me in my place through the internet. Why do your parents allow you to use the computer again?

Oh **** guys, the Internets are getting a little serious in here. Let's go back to talking about current events and Obama's plan to send or not send troops before someone gets hurt.

Poo! Sorry about that.

Sending extra troops is meaningless unless there is a will to use them in the manner necessary to win the war.

Does The Obama and/or The Obamanation have that will?
My bet is no.
 
Should a million plus soldiers cross the DMZ, those 28 thousand american soldiers would be slaughtered.

What part of this fact of life, are you struggling with?





D000000d, they should be worried about the Austrailians, or the mongol hordes of east timor! :doh :lamo

I will never live this down.......I will just leave the forum now.....:doh

But seriously now, as a libertarian, what is your position on this war, or even the troops stationed in S.K?




I think 40k troops more without resolve of the POTUS is a scary proposition.....



I am a libertarian, but, I do believe in the neccesity of both missions.


I am for full withdrawal however due to the lack of spine of this POTUS.

Agreed, I don't know about his spine..... but I think we have done all we can do there, and 8 years is long enough.

I just heard something about 34 thousand.....I guess we are going to keep going down this worm hole.:(
 
I just want to take this time to thank our veterans, I am sure there is a thread, I can't seem to find it, but this is as good as any place, to give my thanks.

I am new, I hadn't noticed that feature, thanks for the heads up.
 
What the hell's the point of sending them if it's going to take four years to get them all in theater? That's friggin stupid!
How about a squadron of B-52's with MOABS here....

That reminds me of a quote from Misha in Mercenaries 2:

You have MOAB yet? Misha love to drop near ex-wives house. When dropped looks like nuke went off and scary the hell out of anyone within 1000 kilometers. Use if you have much hate inside.
