Why are we there at all? At this point, what is our national interest there? What is our mission objective?

We’re there to tie up troops, demoralize our fighting men and women, and provide occasional political distractions.
In Obumoville it’s “Bush’s War” don’t ya know.

We were supposed to herd the muslims and get the wolf Taleban out, but our PC psyops is a complete failure. Our language of “Islam is peace”,”insurgent”, and “war of contingency” have degraded the mission against terrorists and serious violent herders.

Their attacks are shaped into herding us instead of us herding them as per our failed fundamentals of our psy op. As a result we are not sure what we are doing now aside from providing like slaves arms to people we do not even know.

We’re nation building...you know, because 7th century Islamic filth want to be just like the good old USA!

For soetoro to have as many American troops killed as possible. That’s the mission.

As many as 23,000 troops who were part of the 2009 surge in Afghanistan are supposed to come home this fall, though Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday he was awaiting plans from Gen. John Allen, the top commander in Afghanistan, on the strategy.

At one point, it seemed that victory meant once we had killed Osama bin Laden. But then again, we could have argued that bin Laden was essentially crippled on the international scale, so I don’t have a clue anymore.
