Surging for Answers: Afghan war aims vague?

The top American military in Afghanistan faced Congress for his testimony on the infusion of 30,000 additional American troops. General Stanley McChrystal said the next 18 months would be "critical" to the future of Afghanistan and that of the United States. But critics, including former Afghanistan war veterans, still disagree with President Obama's plans. Their disagreement comes a week after the President's address to the nation at West Point and after the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, was convinced of the necessity of the surge.

Poor solders UNINTERNTIONALLY fight for the DARK satanic side. They dont know any better. This is thousands-year old deception and its very difficult to understand.

Small fraction of people will be able to see it in their lifetime. Thats why many will continue to allow themselves to be sacrificed by ruling elite, thinking that they die for some noble cause.

Win? You will never win any shit. It's only multiplying the losses and never winning anything to invade people, treat them like shit in their land and homes and kill everything that moves. If you hypocrites really cared, why not send the same numbers of troops and spend the same amount of money to FREE Palestine and return the homes and the land to their rightful people the Palestinians? and you say you do all this for democracy and freedom?

The drug war generates billions for cartels and who ever is in control of the substance. If there was no war, there would be no profit. Its profit that is being protected, not the well being of the world.
