Here is video of Sen. John McCain today on Meet the Press discussing what it is going to take for the United States to prevail in Afghanistan. He clearly believes it will take more troops, and he warned the Obama Administration not to try and use the "Rumsfeld Strategy" from Iraq in Afghanistan. McCain was referring to the failed strategy to subdue Iraq without adequate forces that was used prior to the Surge Strategy long advocated by McCain. McCain said U.S. Commanders on the ground have indicated we need more troops to do the job in Afghanistan. . . . . (Watch Video)

Good idea, Juan...a (*&*(& ground war that we should have no part of...IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRUSHING RECESSION THAT IS GETTING WORSE BY THE MINUTE...how about this, instead?

Get the boots off the ground, take out these idiots with drones and missiles and wait for them to set up training camps so we can do it agian...good target practice, excellent training for the proper way to fight on these moonscapes and drop on target with accuracy for when we need to take out Iran and NK nukes, plus we get to test some really good bunker busters if we want, kill a lot of terrorist wannabes and keep our guys safe...
