| KABUL — Sen. John McCain called Tuesday for more American troops in Afghanistan, saying that doubling the number of Marines in one southern region could lead to "significantly more success." The group's two-day visit included meeting with Marines in southern Helmand province, where U.S. and Afghan forces are staging a major offensive aimed at clearing out Taliban militants ahead of Thursday's vote. |
“Our goals have to be clear – to destroy al-Qaida and the terrorist network that will attack America if we let them escape.”

That is precisely the problem. the obamanation’s goal is not “our” goal which is to protect the United States. They are not “his” enemies. He is already attacking the United States from within.
DemocRATS are clueless when it comes to fighting wars. Those yellow stripes they all have only make matters worse.
Obama is also snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq too!
Pray For Our Troops! If Obama is going to refuse to allow them to fight to win in Afghanistan, we need to pull them out ASAP imho.
“Change we/you can believe in”
In March, The One had our Air Force begin dropping non-explosive concrete "bombs". Now, he's got them making noisy low passes instead of dropping anything. It's obvious that our klutz of a President knows nothing about winning wars. I feel sorry for any brave soldier who has to serve under Obama.
And Waxman is the worst. He reminds me of one of Hitlers henchmen. I will agree with supporting our troops no matter where they are. But...........we will accomplish nothing in Afghanistan. We will never change those people. They have lived that way for a 1000 years or more. We need to get our people out of there as fast as we can. They may be needed here.
He’s the globalist elite sock puppet, being told to do by his Rockefeller and CFR paymasters: Under the United States internally, while ‘preparing’ for another attack on the CONUS that would bring in martial law. Aiding and abetting the enemy = treason, which is a capital crime that warrants execution by hanging.
Would you want to hang the usurper?
I agree.
I am to emotionally involved in all of this stuff to be a credible person to venture a yes/no reply. Crimes against America, though are right up there at the top of the list of hanging offenses. In my view, he is trying to wipe out our Country as we have known it since 1776. A free Country.
the obamanation seems to have a special hatred for people he can’t control and play god over. America is one of those “people”. God Bless America!
Did you know Melanie Morgan is back with a talk radio program with John McCaslin of the Washington Times?

Sorry, but my policy will not please most people, no matter which side of this issue they are on.
I think the U.S. needs to redirect the most massive amounts of its military aid to building up, training and supplying a very large, internal Afghan military; as its number one priority, in time and money.
The Taliban attacks ARE going to continue, no matter what our policies and tactics are.
The sooner this becomes the Afghans own war, big time, the sooner millions of Afghan families are invested in winning it themselves, with us providing the means, then the sooner they will willingly supply the eye-for-an-eye brutality against the Taliban needed to defeat them - a necessary event but one our public and political class won’t support if we are the ones carrying it out and taking most the casualties;
because it is a needed brutality in a situation where the enemy IS living and hiding in the civilian population, making big civilian casualties a natural consequence of what it will take to defeat the Taliban.
Unless the Afghan’s have the stomach for achieving this victory themselves, it is already lost because no one can help them long enough to make that victory for them.
Barry wants the military tied up and destroyed.
That way he won’t have to worry about coup.
In fact, she promoted the Tea Party Express on her show this morning.
It's mentioned in this Post Here
I listened to a few of her first shows, but had a hard time finding it on the radio out here in her old stomping grounds.
We should put money into the building of roads and highways. That was the way that the Romans managed to hold their empire together.
Great!
“We should put money into the building of roads and highways. That was the way that the Romans managed to hold their empire together.”
No. They first built a military big enough to do the job, and then, as needed, built roads to take it where needed. Even without the roads, at this point, a bigger and better Afghan military could at least do a better job of defending the population in the areas where that military was present.
Until they build their own military and it and the population has the will to do what’s needed, the roads would just help the Taliban move around the country.
Ostammer is also screwing up all the successes in Iraq that we’ve made. He’s doing nothing to negotiate with the Iraqi government to re-assert control there as the Iraqis slowly lose their grip on the situation.
Ostammer’s ROE is getting our guys killed.
he never even talks about national secuirty. All he wants are reparations.
