>>Is Afghanistan going to be ZERO’s Vietnam?<<

The danger is that its going to be OUR next Vietnam. This is one of those situations where we can’t afford to have a President from the other party fail.

Honestly, I think Obama is planning on turning Afghanistan into the “Pakistan War” and putting our troops in the mountains like he spoke of during the campaign...

THAT would be Zero’s Vietnam, IMHO.

Worse. Its going to turn into some UN style political correct clusterf@@k getting alot of US and our allies soliders coming home in bodybags. All in the name of “making sure the taliban feelings don’t get hurt” and Obama maintains his poll numbers with the upper eastside manhattan liberals and SF moonbats.

"Is Afghanistan going to be ZERO’s Vietnam?"

I was studying the map of the m.e. last night and of course noted that Iran is flanked on one side by Afghanistan and on the other by Iraq. I can only speculate, and thus could be wrong, but my sense is that both of those flanks have become less stable since Zer0 took charge. I think Afghanistan was never real stable anyway. I was not a happy camper with some things W did, but I think he clearly understood that controlling territory on either side of Iran was important to making it easier to engage Iran if necessary, a pragmatic approach perhaps. He could never convey his strategy openly because the anti-american marginal stream media and their hollywierd allies would crucify him more. Sometimes, the C-in-C has to look long term and I don't think Maobama is capable of such a world view. These are frightening times. I'm not sure if this is Zer0's Viet Nam, or our second Viet Nam with a marxist president again escalating the action and body bags flowing home.

I'm more concerned that Pakistan may be Obama’s (and our) Armageddon.

“Is Afghanistan/Pakistan going to be ZERO’s Vietnam?”

Probably, when both “stans” are thrown into the stew.

Jack Kennedy had a similiar fixation on Viet Nam before and when he became president. That was the real beginning of our large involvement in that area.
