What did Obama decide concerning troops to Afghanistan?
I heard last week thаt Obama wаѕ finally going tο announce οn Friday thе 30th οf October hіѕ сhοісе аbουt whether οr nοt hе wουld send more troops tο Afghanistan. Whаt wаѕ thе verdict wіth thаt? Anу articles аbουt іt?
Thanks.
/sigh. Obama ѕhουld listen tο military officials whο know whаt thеу′re talking аbουt!
1. The Founders provided the military with civilian control for a reason. Let’s not undo what’s worked for 234 years. The military is a tool. The civilians we elect are the hand that holds it.
2. The U.S. can’t commit troops to a country with no functioning government. Since Abdullah pulled out of the runoff, it’s anyone’s guess if Afghanistan is going to erupt in civil war or not. Karzai seems to have no control outside of Kabul. About the best we can hope for is to go it alone without the blessings of the Afghani government which means that they’d be coming at us from all sides.
No choice, still dithering.
No choice yet. Still waiting for the poll numbers to come in so he knows how to make the world like him more. He is also trying to get more camera time out of it.
I reckon that he is doing nothing..
Which seems to be normal in Washington unless HE initiates the program, and then it becomes urgent..
He is right now and He will make sure If they go into Harm’s Way they ill be Protected something needs to be done there.
He chose to not choose. The withdrawal of Abdullah from the runoff election has really screwed things up. We cannot support a fake government.
He is still sitting on the fence. I reckon he will compromise by sending half the troops. In a misguided attempt to make both sides pleased. He is an idiot. He is a community organizer, not a leader of the free world.
When he was a Senator he never voted yes or no. He just voted present. Very wishy washy.
