Barack Obama 30,000 additional troops should be for Building Afghanistan Army and Police Force

The role of the additional 30,000 troops ordered by Barack Obama should be strictly for training the Afghanistan police and army and no combat at all. This war should be winding down and the role of these additional troops to help transition the country for self policing and protecting itself. Barack Obama should stick to the firm pull out date indicated and absolutely should not wale about it and should not apologize to any one including silly John McCain and his republican opponents

The US Should Pull Out from Afghanistan No Matter What Starting July 2011

The US should pull out from Afghanistan no matter what July 2011. No more monkeying. If nothing is accomplished by July 2011 ten years after 9/11, 2001 then every things can go to pots and hell and no body cares. John McCain the war monger with infinity of intrinsic stupidity can stew as well.

Barack Obama Timing of the Health Care Reform and Afghanistan Extra Troop Deployment

The Right Move for President Barack Obama on Afghanistan

President Barack Obama made the right move on Afghanistan by setting dead line for training the Afghans police and military to defend and assume control of their country. Within such time frame he will be able to pull the American troops from this endless war.

Finishing the job in Afghanistan call by Barack Obama Total Nonsense

If Barack Obama has resolve to defeat the Taliban, then the Taliban has resolve also. The Barack Obama move will end in fiasco and is laughable. Finishing the job is total nonsense and the future will teach Barack Obama a bitter lesson and will cause his defeat in 2012.

Afghanistan should be tackled by psychologists and no body else

The driving force for handling Afghanistan is to lay the problem in hands of psychologists who study that society and draw conclusion of what it works and what does not work. The military are not fit to handle such analysis.

America's Foolish War The Afghanistan War

The Afghanistan war is foolish that exhumes young Americana's soldiers lives. Does any body care? Just welcome home heroes in coffins who can't acknowledge the honor bestowed on them.
The war has no basis to conduct or continue, just waste of money, resources and distraction. It is fueled by ballooned over, over exaggerated threats which are unfounded.
This idiocy has no end.

Barack Obama Needs to Yank General Stanley A. McCrystal

General Stanley A McCrystal has embarrassed President Barack Obama by going public and not going private to give advice. Barack Obama nemesis like war monger John McCain is using the General to attack Obama. The General has become political liability to Barack Obama and hurt him eventually.

The Afghanistan Problem Needs Aggressive Negotiation with Taliban Moderates

The Afghanistan Problem should be approached through courageous negotiation with the Taliban moderates. No military solution is feasible. Barack Obama should not be bluffed to send more troops under dire need and emergency gimmick. The Taliban should be included in the Afghan's government under power sharing umbrella. Dialogue is the answer and no need for more shedding of blood and loss of human lives.
Barack Obama should not be cowered to escalate the problem militarily.
Barack Obama should ignore the Re publican's war cries.

President Barack Obama Should Start Pulling Troops Out of Afghanistan Slowly

Enough for this protracted foolish war. Enough nonsense about making the terrorists invincible so billions of dollars been spent and Soldiers lives be wasted. Follow Joesph Biden lead and wind down this foolish war before a decade anniversary.

Sending More Troops to Afghanistan Political Decision not Military One

Sending more troops to Afghanistan is vastly a political decision not a Military one. Of course the military would like to have more troops but this does not make it right. Remember General Maxwell Taylor advice and request for Combat troops for Vietnam resulted in unending war. President John Kennedy was suckered and agreed.

Arresting individuals with terrorist plots and conducting massive costly war in Afghanistan is totally disjoint. The war in Afghanistan can't be justified in terms of pure law enforcement diligence in the U.S.

The More Troops Obama Sends to Afghanistan the Bigger Hole He Digs for Himself

Afghanistan is a huge geographic country and if any one thinks he can control it's territory is foolish. Barack Obama should back off from his presidential campaign promise during the year 2009 fierce presidential campaign. It was all about rhetoric's and bravado, let's now face the reality. It is very sad and heart breaking to see the scores of Americans young men who die in Afghanistan in the newspapers obituaries every week. Catching Osama Bin Laden is nonsense and is not worth it.
Listening to the generals is folly. It is all about political decisions and not military one.

Barack Obama Must Stop the Afghanistan Madness and Pull Out

5 US troops among 50 killed in Afghan violence
KABUL – About 50 civilians, security forces and militants were killed in a wave of violence around Afghanistan, including a bomb that left 14 Afghan travelers dead in one of the country's most dangerous regions. Five American soldiers died in two attacks using roadside bombs.

In this blog from early on I believe that Barack Obama policy in Afghanistan foolish, costly finance and costly for young American soldiers lives. It is short sighted and soon the liberal wing of the Democratic party will be vocal to stop it.
Dehumanizing the Taliban is very wrong and very aggressive negotiation should start in earnest.
Financial development for Afghanistan will be the carrot and no need for any stick.

Sensational (CNN) Cable News Coverage Hurting Obama Standing in Polls

The cable TV news networks childish coverage is hurting Barack Obama in the polls. These News Networks case of point CNN in order to sensationalize their news they give exclusive coverage for the anti Obama radicals to the determinant of more than half of the population that support him.

With the Afghanistan War death toll of the American soldiers in the mount President Barack Obama owe the nation a detailed precise objective ofconducting such war.

The Constitution and the Supreme Court Folly

Many of the cases that the Supreme Court consider and decide are purely political and has nothing to do with the Constitution. Others matter of personal opinion like the recent case of the strip search of 13-years old school girl. Ultimate in-justice Clarence Thomas dissented and claimed it is constitutional.
Alas, poor the Constitution any things go and conflicting views all claim the Constitution are their bases they used for their decisions..

Barack Obama Should Watch For Support Slipping

Barack Obama should realize he needs once he com back from his foreign trips and Ghana visit in Africa that he should make an immediate presentation for the American people about his stimulus program.
Lot of critiques are attacking this stimulus package and claim it is not working. The republican attacks are intense.
Barack Obama should not spare a moment after his arrival to the United States to address the American people and go in much detail how his stimulus package is working.
How much money been spent and and how much still to be spent.
Transparency very important. Once Barack Obama approval rating slips it is hard to come back to the high approval ratings that he had before.

Play Video Barack Obama Video:Durham mayor meets with Obama WRAL Raleigh Play Video Barack Obama Video:Lahood mulls mileage tax, Obama says no AP Play Video Barack Obama Video:Perdue to meet with Obama on stimulus package WRAL Raleigh WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama faces split opinions within the military on whether to make the speedy withdrawal from Iraq he championed on the campaign trail.

Obama's top generals in Baghdad are pressing for an elongated timetable, while some influential senior advisers inside the Pentagon are more amenable to a quicker pullout.

Although Obama has yet to decide the matter, his announcement last week that he's sending thousands more combat troops to Afghanistan implies a drawdown of at least two brigades from Iraq by summer.

But that does not answer the question that has been dangling over Iraq since he took office in January: Will Obama stick to his stated goal of a 16-month pullout or opt for a slower, less risky approach?

Gen. Ray Odierno, the top American commander in Baghdad, favors a longer timetable for leaving Iraq. He sees 2009 as a pivotal year, with parliamentary elections set to be held in December; he doesn't want to lose more than two of the 14 combat brigades that are now in Iraq before the end of the year. And he believes the U.S. military will need to remain engaged in Iraq, to some degree, for years to come.

Odierno's boss at U.S. Central Command, Gen. David Petraeus, leans toward Odierno's view.

Gen. David McKiernan, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, has steered clear of the debate over withdrawing from Iraq, but he sees his battlefield as an increasingly urgent priority — not just for additional combat troops but also for Iraq-focused surveillance aircraft and more civilian support.

There are now about 146,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, compared with 38,000 in Afghanistan. Obama has directed 17,000 more to head to Afghanistan, including Marines and soldiers who had been in line for Iraq duty.

At the Pentagon, a more mixed view prevails. The uniformed service chiefs see Iraq as a strain on their troops and, more broadly, a drain on their resources. The Marines, in particular, are in the tough position of having a foothold in both major U.S. wars — Iraq and Afghanistan. As a relatively small service, they would prefer to concentrate more fully on Afghanistan, if only they could get out of Iraq.

Neither Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nor Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said publicly whether he supports a 16-month withdrawal timeline. But they have their own perspective — an obligation to consider the full spectrum of threats and potential threats to U.S. national security.

"There's a very clear understanding of what is at stake here," Mullen said Feb. 10. "And it's very natural for Gen. Odierno to want to go slower and to hang onto capability as long as possible," he added. "That's not unusual. It's very natural for Gen. McKiernan to say, 'I need more.' And so that's the tension. We don't have an infinite pot (of resources and deployable forces). We have to make hard decisions about where to accept risk."

In internal discussions, the emphasis appears to be on getting out responsibly rather than quickly, several officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no decisions have been made.

Obama must weigh an array of hard-to-figure tradeoffs in security and politics. And he must reconcile his conviction that the combat phase of U.S. involvement in Iraq must end with his commanders' concern in Baghdad that hard-fought gains could be squandered.

It boils down to this: How much more effort is the Iraq war worth? What is the risk of leaving too soon?

Is the 16-month timetable too short, given the uncertain state of stability and political reconciliation in Iraq and the potential cost of seeing the country slide back into widespread sectarian war?

And is anything substantially beyond 16 months too long, given the call for still more troops in Afghanistan, where Obama himself has said the battle against extremists is going in the wrong direction?

Obama is still considering his options, which officials say includes a less hurried, 23-month withdrawal. The deadline he inherited from the Bush administration is Dec. 31, 2011, the date set in a security agreement with Baghdad that says all U.S. troops, not just combat forces, must be gone by then.

One clue to some of the thinking inside the White House might lie with the views of Obama's national security adviser, retired Marine Gen. James Jones. Jones co-chaired a study published in January 2008 on the way ahead in Afghanistan. The group endorsed the idea of providing more military support for Afghanistan, including resources that become available as combat forces are withdrawn from Iraq.

The president has an additional factor to weigh: the political cost of backing off the 16-month pullout timetable that was a prominent feature of his campaign. Although he has said he thinks 16 months is a reasonable timetable, he also has assured military leaders that he will consider their advice.

Notably absent, at least so far, is even a whiff of public pressure from fellow Democrats to stick to a 16-month timeline. That suggests Obama's party might be satisfied so long as he makes early and clear steps in the direction of ending U.S. combat involvement in Iraq, even if on a somewhat longer timeline.

Obama campaigned for the White House on a promise that he would end the war and get U.S. commanders moving immediately on a transition to Iraqi control of their own security. He said military experts believe combat troops can be pulled out safely at a rate of one to two brigades a month, meaning all 14 combat brigades there now could be gone within 16 months, which equates to mid-2010.

Peter Mansoor, a retired Army colonel who was the executive officer for Petraeus when the general was in Baghdad overseeing the "surge" of U.S. forces in 2007-08, said he thinks it likely that Obama will pull at least four combat brigades out of Iraq by the end of this year. But he hopes the president does not insist on getting all 14 brigades out within 16 months.

"If the president orders it, the military can do it, but whether it's advisable or not is a different story," he said in a telephone interview. "Quite frankly, I don't think it is, given the risk you would incur to potentially upsetting the political situation" inside Iraq.

Any Military Solution in Afghanistan Will Be Foolish Only Diplomatic Solution is the Way

The approach in Afghanistan should be through negotian with all the political forces in the country including the Taliban. The idea of demonizing what thought to be an enemy is load to failure or some much expense and depeltion of resources. No more troops are needed. No more troops to be sent . Only toughr negotiaions with financial aid for development.

President Barack Obama faces his first political test. The Republicans in the senate are checking him out and examining his backbone. The Stimulus package that is under current consideration and revue in the senate is the very test he is subjected to. The Republicans want to see if he bends over, buckle and waffle? If he does that then they won and have the green light to obstruct him and toy him for the next four years of his presidency.

President Barack Obama Should in Earnest Start Pulling Some Troops Out of Iraq to Prove His Credibility

President Barack Obama made one of his potent points during his campaign that he intends to pull the troops out of Iraq according to some plan. Although he did not specify all the details but now some of the ones who voted for him expect that he should start pulling some troops without much delay.
So President Barack Obama should do just that and start pulling some troops out of Iraq. Any delay will cause that his high approval rating will start to decline and dip. He should not risk that and he can not afford it. Once the decline of his approval rating drops he will no able to reverse it.
