Afghanistan War + More Troops = Catastrophe (Full Video)

Sign the petition: http://rethinkafghanistan.com

President Obama has committed 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan. This decision raises serious questions about troops, costs, overall mission, and exit strategy. Historically, it has been Congress' duty to ask questions in the form of oversight hearings that challenge policymakers, examine military spending, and educate the public. After witnessing the absence of oversight regarding the Iraq war, we must insist Congress hold hearings on Afghanistan.
Watch the first part from our full-length documentary that will serve as a driving force to help make oversight hearings a reality. Sign the petition urging oversight and tell us what questions you would ask.

terrorists = the product of collateral damage

(Pardon me; I know that's gross. I'd like to use sparkling cotton candy creme puff words like President Obama, but desperate situations call for strong language. I realize that Political Incorrectness is not as acceptable as politely launching drones from military computers, but peace-making is not for sissies. War-making is.)

its obvious that Americans make Afghans do the work but its for the betterness of the country. but its better than the government of Taliban - enforcing the religion Islam by force and punishing one till death, Afghanistan is already developing, and people like who give with the Taliban are in darkness, life is not only religion.

Christians, Muslims, Jews you all believe in one and the same God of Abraham why killing each other for so long? Please stop killing all together and have a happy life under God's love for all of us. God loves us all we don't have to kill or be killed for our only God?

[habibnangrhari]

fighting is not the way to bring peace,stop killing this innocent afghans

Its important to realize that there are many people who would say (and could follow through with) "NUKE and get the jobe done" about the U.S....but that would just lead to nuclear war--essentially destruction of the planet. Simplifying a complex issue with mass killings will only promote ignorance and degredation of humanity.

@Avalon400 you want to murder innocent children?? i'm sure you'll try to make the case that a five year old is equally a terrorist and muderer--that's the only way you would feel justified in asking us to nuke an ENTIRE country. Did you know that we organized a military coup in haiti and venzueula for our own political interests? and that we harbored Duvalier (of haiti) for almost a decade who was suspected of numerous human rights violations? Our hands aren't so clean.

@whatsgoingon07 i am agree with you!

There is nothing to rethink. All these wars have been for money. All US people money and the other countries' people supporting the war is going to the contractors companies pokets. If you could follow these companies you could find same politicians, businessmen, bankers and all the people who don't want these wars over. They are making millions and millions profits!!!. They show their concern but they say is too complex... yes of course!!!
