Pinch me! (joke) I am all in favor of going after the folks and their protectors who actually are responsible for 9/11. Osama? KILL HIM. His organization and anyone we find attatched to or helping them? KILL THEM. Taliban? KILL THEM. I have no illusions about Afghanistan becoming a democracy. Never was and I doubt it ever will be. I just want to ensure that anyone who kills Americans knows they, THEY, not the poor population of a country that had nothing to do with their acts but THEY will pay a terrible price. A TERRIBLE price. AND the added bonus that these particular murdering religo/wackjobs won't kill anybody else. “This is the part of Obama I don’t like. angels81″

I’m not sure there was much difference between HRC’s stance on Afghanistan and Obama’s during the debates. If I am not mistaken both acknowledged that that was where we should be and we needed to put more focus on it. It does suck however, none of us wnat to see this go on forever.

Obama was actually challenged about his position on this in debates. Americans heard his answer. He never failed to say the problem with Iraq was that Afghanastan needed more troops.I deemed him far less progressive than Hillary on that front.Still do.We're going to war, folks.And just like with Iraq, my own voter hands are clean.

Still do.

We’re going to war, folks.

About to go again to pick up meds and go to the commissary. Also have to go to the house we bought because our son says that there is a leak in the kitchen. It was a repo, so buy as is. :-) We saw where the tile was coming up and he said that's where the water is. Hubby is going to pull dishwasher out and see if that's the leak.

To me the main threat seems to be shifting from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Without the support of the Pakistan government I don't see how more troops into the area is going to do anything but make matters worse. This is really starting to look like another Vietnam.

I agree, the end game needs to be explained to us. I think Obama will be very cautious, and flexible on this. I agree, the end game needs to be explained to us.

Obama has said all along that this was what he was going to do. The question becomes, how long, and to what ends this will have. Obama needs to tell us what the end game is here and how much is this going to cost us in lives and money that this country does not have. This is the part of Obama I don't like.
