http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_US_AFGHANISTAN?SITE=NCASH&SECTI... President Barack Obama announced Tuesday he was dispatching 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, accelerating a risky and expensive war buildup, even as he assured the nation that U.S. forces will begin coming home in July 2011. The first new Marines will join the fight by Christmas. The escalation - to be completed by next summer - is designed to reverse significant Taliban advances since Obama took office 10 months ago and to fast-track the training of Afghan soldiers and police toward the goal of hastening an eventual U.S. pullout. The size and speed of the troop increase will put a heavy strain on the military, which still maintains a force of more than 100,000 in Iraq and already has 68,000 in Afghanistan.
"The 30,000 additional troops that I am announcing tonight will deploy in the first part of 2010 the fastest pace possible so that they can target the insurgency and secure key population centers," Obama was to say in his Tuesday night prime-time speech. The White House released excerpts in advance.

  • Ok so go back to Taliban rule, because they were so benevolent. I hope Afghanistan wakes up and sees it could have what its wanted for so long now. Real freedom for its beautiful people. The US occupation is far from perfect but the countries that the successfully occupied and established democracy in are actually doing pretty well now for the average person. If history is anything to go on that is...
