What are your thoughts on the expansion of the war in Afghanistan? More money going down the drain...
I agree with fighting the war on terror, but it's everywhere. Don't you think getting someone like Saddam out of office was a good move for democracy of Iraq?

And for all of you who voted for him remember he promised to take ALL the troops out and bring them home. Doesn't it matter to you that you were lied to?
If it were me, personally, I would bomb the shit out of their country until someone says I give up then it would be over with.
 
You could put our entire military over there and it will not change because of this:

We’ve let the Taliban set the terms of the fight, throwing away our military advantages

McChrystal’s implementation of his recent tactical directive which essentially changed the Rules Of Engagement for Afghanistan, some old warriors claimed that the net result of such a change would probably be more, not fewer, civilian casualties

They are not allowed to proceed if there is a civilian in the area, yet the enemy is using civilians as human targets. The enemy knows the strategy, keep a civilian within arms length and the soldiers cannot touch them

McChrystal severely restricted air and indirect fire support to our troops. As the marines have already stated.

The result? We’ve got a general who’s been gagged, a president trapped by his campaign promises, a muddled mission, crippling restrictions on our troops, a resurgent enemy, a worthless Afghan government — and an AWOL establishment media that, after hammering the Bush administration, gives Obama a pass on American casualties

Can you imagine if we had said during WW2 , no fighting the Nazis if civilians would possibly be harmed?

Obama should definately let his commanders on the ground make decisions, but that isnt being politically correct! Troops on the ground should not have to hold fire for political reasons.

So we’ve got a president terrified of taking a stand, a muzzled general, a muddled policy, and our magnificent troops employed as political pawns. In comparison, Vietnam was a model of clarity and purpose.
 
yep..get it done and get home....stop tying the hands of the military and causing more deaths by the hindering of them doing their job.

Americans always run out on their obligations....we cannot do that now.

Stop the bleeding of money here...by not paying out 338 billion dollars to illegals every year...and stop sending brazil 2 BILLION for off shore drilling.....

WE DO NOT HAVE IT for those things. And stop the green programs..we can do that when we have time and money to do it...we do not have it now.
