Personally I think McChrystal is wrong and should be replaced for speaking out of turn. We should be taking troops out of Afghanistan and rethinking the whole strategy. The govt. installed under Bush is corrupt and opium trafficking has quadrupled. This war was handled poorly and should be replaced with a mobilized force and better relations in country's where Al Qaeda are so we can go in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia and get them. Lets not stay in a country where they no longer are.
The libs have placed great emphasis on the fact that Bush spent 3 min. shocked on 9/11 while infront of cameras. Where's the scrutiny over Obama taking 2 weeks to reinforce our troops!? Where's The idiot media proclaiming "Obama hates soldiers!"
Well since we're not letting them come home, shouldn't the guy ordering their continuing presence make sure they have enough people to do the job? Or at the very least, not get slaughtered?
WANT has nothing to do with serving your country. I didn't WANT to be in Iraq and Afghanistan either. I simply felt that I should.
To the poster of this video: This is not just about al qaeda, it is more about the taliban. Why must partisans simplify the argument & ignore the complicating factors of the real world? This is not an easy issue to resolve - and claiming that we are trying to capture 100 aq members with the existing & additional forces is silly and not constructive.
"Why must partisans simplify the argument & ignore the complicating factors of the real world?"
Because they can't win an argument based inthe real world. When was the last time you saw them actually back up what they say, or god forbid, interview someone who disagrees with them.
why do you think the general asked for so many men? that is if threre are only 100 al qaeda. if there are only 100 men the war should be over real quick, no? does obama know something about military strategy the generaks don't.
I wonder why they haven't mentioned the taliban. Why didn't they mention the soldiers that have been killed recently? Oh wait, this is the news media. Strictly out to divide the nation. F--k the 2 party system.
TheSuperLiberal we could send 1000 top U.S. bomb droppers and turn the middle east into the world biggest sand parking lot (sans 666,666 terrorits the world would be well rid of) YOU OF COURSE ARE TO YELLA LIKE BAAMA. ...to stand up to any terrorists and lock em all up or off em. You luv obama kissin killer kousins like butter
@Plankton2142 Yeah they need more troops to shore up failure, McChrystal failed, Petraeus failed, violence is escalating, let's face it. We lost. It cannot be won and we need to focus from here on defending the USA itself instead of power projection.
@smowkdaddy This is an act of love to our troops. Bring them home so they don't have to waste their lives in a stupid war that makes America less safe. We've sunk about $2 trillion into both wars, at least. $2 trillion! Without that and the Bush tax cuts we would have had an extra $4.72 trillion in the economy between 2001-2008, the crash may not have happened and we would not have needed a stimulus.
@Meade556 Tell that to your hero Obama! He now has 3 wars Lied about ending all of them and signed to extend the Bush tax cuts! And when you talk about adding 4,72 trillion to the economy then we would still be in debt about 10 trillion! LOL! Liberals slammed Bushs stimilus but when obama chartered his trillion dollar plan then its OK! I Libs have failed America miserably!
@smowkdaddy I never said I liked Obama and in any case $9.58 trillion is better than $14.3 trillion and since the Great Recession occurred because of Bush's policies and no most bad loans were written by private institution at little to no encouragement by the government. So conservatives have failed America miserably and besides Obama is a right winger. I can defend all of these statements, so if you wish have at me.
so there is only "100" Al Queda? ......until there are = NONE! ......the cancer is still there! ............so evil will flourish until GOOD MEN (our U.S military) DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! .......HOOYAHH!
@memama2 And I suppose you are in the Military? Don't think so, Afghanistan is not our country and it is far easier to monitor threats to the US when we worry more about them coming here, than attempting to track them down as well as focusing on the Taliban over there. These people are more like criminals. Are you suggesting we invade Mexico?
