Afghanistan went sour when we started to do exactly what we were told not to do, put alot of boots on the ground and appear as an invading army. A small counter insurgency was working. When the Taliban saw the election going to swing to the Feckless One they began to act up and agitate across the border. Obama has really stepped in it, like the OP says, the Democrats talk out of their butt and say anything contrarian to get elected. Obama will not stick 250k more soldiers there, he simply won't. He will fire this General and claim he is going to stabilize without escalation..or some other meaningless slogan pumped out by the resident fags in his administration. The sheeple will buy it and a slow pullout is going to happen. No way he risks Vietnam 1968.

“stabilize without escalation”

Sort of like “increase medical care/coverage without taxation”.
