Now a question for you: on what basis do you justify giving Obama more of our blood and treasure with (apparently) no strings attached? Are you prepared to defend the consequences here if he asks for and gets those troops?
Actually, I believe the evil is the indecision and lack of any sort of plan. If he does not have the stomach to fight this war than say it and bring everyone home. Do I want us to see defeat? No, but I don’t want to see our military sitting ducks while he waits it out.
The “Taliban” are not necessarily Afghani’s, they are zealots that grew out of madrassa’s in Pakistan and have taken over the country. The average Afghani are farmers and nomads, however, they have seen so much war over the years they are just trying to survive. Right now the Taliban come in and will kill the locals in order for them to submit.
In speaking with some Marines that are just back from Helmand Province, the Taliban come in at night, I can understand us having more of a presence but that needs to be backed up by a different policy of ROE, if not, no more troops and they all come home. They can’t sit and wait on indecision!
