Troop Increases Help Drive Spread of the Insurgency in Afghanistan

.so in conclusion i think we need more troops,more border control and more focus on the afgan army and police.a little preasure on iran wouldnt hurt either

The only thing we can do now is to increase troop levelswithin the country.if you recall it took 120,000 u.s.forces to reduce the violence in iraq so 30,000 just will not get the job done in afganistan.

there is no easy answer to this situation and i think thats one thing we can agree on.However sending less troops and withdrawing what we have is not the answer.thats how the insurgents have gained so much ground in the first start.we put all of our focus in iraq and not enough into afganistan.thats why it was once called"the forgotten war".
