Except the vietnam fraud was nothing more than a war for profit, just like Iraq.

I meant to say al Qaeda.. Sorry for the misspell

And, no even the top general for the Americans army ADMITTED there is no al Qaeda in Afghanistan. You know why? because there is no need of it when there is a LOCAL force..the taliban.. why would anyone even join al qaeda (global) when they can join a regional group CENTERED at fighting americans? Like I and many wise men have said...there is none al qaeda in Afghanistan.

Blahblah O'blahblah blablahs while our chilldren, fathers, relatives are hung out to dry. service members die every day this criminal delays a decision. either listen to the guy you hired and add more troops or get the hell out. he is wiling to kill more Americans so he does not piss off people on the left-he needs all of there support for the cap and tax and healthcare scams he has cookin'. . .

this man does not "preside"-he "resides", and "campaigns"

he is a disgrace to all Americans.

This shouldn't be political. This should never have gotten out to the press.

The general should get the support he needs to do his job, not political bickering.

Last I checked, we have an all volunteer armed forces....thats what they train to do.....fight. I highly doubt they say, "Wait a minute! Lets think about this.....we might get hurt." He has had the request since the beginning of August......either shit or get off the pot already!

[mjnr7777]

There is al Qaeda in Afghanistan......I don't know about AL Quada. Are they new?

[GreatSatan1]

Who is Obama pissing off with his foot dragging?

Our General Officers who say we need more troops if we are going to stay in Afghanistan?

Those who want to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible? Those who want their sons and daughters and husbands and wives and brothers and sisters to get the support they need or face increased chances of death or injury? How about those people who would like to see Afghanistan become a failed state with training facilities for terrorists?

Who is pissed off?

[DeveloperJermaine]

Ya i didnt he doesnt want to risk his "peacekeeper" reputation..

but I also think its good to have president that want to make a strategy before putting more troops in harms way..

[glebbukov]

Obama is going to send more troops

Its BS if you believe his speech. Ok GUYS, i don't want to put u in harms way. UNLESS ITS NECESSARY. Heres reality. There is no AL Quada in Afghanistan. There is the Taliban. But they are not the bad guys here.

We, the U.S.A have evolved into a Nazi Germany.

How do you think people back then tolerated the war crimes? Simple, just like we do now. With Lies, and propaganda.
