Declaring "our security is at stake," President Barack Obama ordered an additional 30,000 U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan on Tuesday night, nearly tripling the force he inherited but promising an impatient public to begin withdrawal in 18 months.
The buildup will begin almost immediately — the first Marines will be in place by Christmas — and will cost $30 billion for the first year alone.
thats alot of troops lol

Power, building our nation, in the name of national security, terrorism.
These are all scare associated words that just perpetuate fear in people. Most people I talk to want us out of the war. I claim no party status. If America continues to get closer and closer to china, surrounding Iran from all different sides, and pissing off other big foreign leaders like Russia, then I would guess WWIII will be against America, and china has a financial bomb that will or can kill our currency quickly.

Americans are at risk, that's for sure. As they lose their homes, have no acceptable public healthcare, go bankrupt, lose their jobs, hit the soup line, and more. 30 billion would be better spent at home on Americans, not on a corrupt Afghan gov and people that don't even want us there. They rejoice when we die at the hands of the Taliban, and yet, somehow they are more important than Americans? What a sham, Americans got burnt yet again by a lying two faced politician. Betya Iran war comes next
