So the recovering Trotskyites who present themselves as neocons want Obama? Since when does waging a war in Afghanistan mean surrendering our freedoms, culture, and way of life at home? This is very strange logic. That conservatives need to help Obama out here? Conservatives should not be backing down on opposing these statist policies. No one should want this buffoon running this country.
I am not sure “boots on the ground” in Afghanistan, is a very good idea.
No foreign power has EVER controlled that area. Historically, that area has NEVER really been under the control of one tribe or leader.
The geography is terrible. The drug business will be impossible to stop. Religious fanatics will NEVER go away.
It will be far, far harder to bring Afghanistan into the civilized world than it was with Iraq.
I think drones and fast attacks from the air, when we know where the Taliban is hiding, would make more sense.
