“At long last, President Obama decided to give his military commanders much of what they need to accomplish their mission in Afghanistan. In the end, he decided to endorse a “surge” for Afghanistan, applying the counterinsurgency principles of “clear, hold and build” that worked so well in Iraq. Given that he opposed the surge in Iraq, it is even more welcome that he now supports a surge in Afghanistan.”
I agree with Sarah Palin. I don’t like POTUS Obama, wished someone else was in office. However, for the most part the decision is a good one....IF it is aggressively pursued. I value the lives of American military personnel. I want this surge to work, because I want to bring this conflict to a close. If a POTUS I can’t stand gets credit, then so be it. I put the lives of troops ahead of my political desires.
With SEALS being persecuted for being too hard on a terrorist, you think Obama is going to aggressively pursue the war?
