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.

The Acts of Local Terrorism and the War in Afghanistan

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.
A glaring example the fanatic right wingers who do not want Barack Obama national speech to the kid in their schools, they are radicals that CNN have their poisonous hatred to Barack Obama aired on TV every 30 minutes while the millions upon millions who are very happy that Obama addressing their children about the future and the importance of education are ignored.
So as long as the outrageous disproportionate coverage of these right wingers on CNN and alike takes the central scene Barack Obama will be hurting in the polls.
The cable news networks (e.g. CNN) place the country in shame. They should impose self control on that hot sizzling coverage.
