Barack Hussein Obama last night made his decision to send 30,000. However there is a catch, he made an artificial timeline. This is ridiculous because all the Taliban has to do is hide out then attack once we leave. He has set a deadline of July 2011 to get US forces out. This is madness, why send them to die in the first place. Ralph Peters as usual gives a great analysis to Obama’s ridiculous plans.
Just plain nuts: That’s the only possible characterization for last night’s presidential declaration of surrender in advance of a renewed campaign in Afghanistan.
President Obama will send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan — but he’ll “begin the transfer of our forces out of Afghanistan in July of 2011.” Then why send them?
If you’re going to tell the Taliban to be patient because we’re leaving, what’s the point in upping the blood ante? For what will come down to a single year by the time the troops hit the ground?
Does Obama really expect to achieve in one year what we haven’t been able to do in more than eight?
Read the rest.
Can someone tell me what is the point of all this? Should we send the troops and set benchmarks, but no deadlines until the war is won? Also, are the Afghan people who molest Young Boys worth our blood? I say send overwhelming force, crush the Taliban and leave. But let us leave on our terms, not give the enemy the heads up!
