I dunno. Most of them don’t mind wars as long as the President is a Democrat.

nah, according to a thread I was monitoring at the DU the other day, they’re perfectly ok with this since that’s where bin laden is and ears promised he’d get bin laden during his never ending campaign..

More troops to Afghanistan, but nobody is to touch nearby Pakistan where much of the Taliban support infrastructure is.
Why does this quagmire sound so familiar?

Yup. It’s the same quicksand that sucked in the Soviets, and the Brits before them.

I believe this probably has been the Pentagon's strategy from long before Obama came into the WH. The Generals have been calling these shots according to a plan. Obama wants to look tough and in control. Of course, he has the authority to change the plan, but he is smart enuf, I hope, to know you can't mess with things you know absolutely nothing about without serious consequences.

I’ll bet $25.00 that zero won’t be out of Iraq by his deadline...any takers?

I trust our military leaders to know and to do. They have studied the Soviets debacle inside and out and will not repeat any of their mistakes. Our guys are doing much better than the Administration and MSM let on.

Help me out here...17,000 more on top of the 17,000 more he already ordered meaning 34,000 total new troops?
