the two generals on BOR —Hunt and Peters— both said that the best plan is to pull most of the troops out, forget redoing Afghanistan the way we did in Iraq and keep a unit of special forces in there and target specific targets.

That would not be withdrawing in the classic sense of ‘giving up” but changing strategy...in this case, that may not be a bad way to handle this. That is if we also go into Pakistan to get the bad guys with special ops also.

I listen to Peters and Hunt. Hunt also said to leave some more troops there for back up to special ops.

It is very very difficult to ‘win” Afghanistan in traditional ways...major army moving in, or nation building.

So it just sounded good for 0bama to campaign for POTUS on this? He is such a jackass.

It is blatently obvious he has not a clue what he is doing.
Pull them all out from everywhere. I don’t want him they’re CIC. He has but one interest and it is himself.
