I didnt know the answer but I knew Obama would do exactly the wrong thing. And I wasn't disappointed.
What do you think he ought to do, since you seem to know everything about everything?
Funny, I remember when people on the left were saying similar things about Iraq and douchebags on the right were calling them un-American, cowards, and all sorts of other things.
Just be glad Iraq had a shit ton of oil money to finally let the dust settle.
At any rate, it doesn't matter what Obama does. By your own admission, you are going to oppose it. So what is the point?
I think we should reduce our footprint, start subsidizing the massive governmental infrastructure we have set up with taxpayers money (because the government will collapse otherwise) indefinitely, open up a trade route into Lahore if Pakistan will play ball (doubtful), and let the Afghans have their own country back.
At this point it is doubtful it would work, as the Afghans have had five years of empty promises from us.
Bush dicked up Afghanistan. We lost our momentum there years ago.
Quit putting words in my mouth.
Obama was bound to do the wrong thing. He picked the strategy with the least chance of winning, compounded his mistake by announcing a withdrawal date, and has lost the confidence of his own general, McChrystal.
So your solution is to ship tons of money to Afghanistan and hope that helps? Are you crazy? There are many problems there. Lack of U.S. money isn't one of them.
And blaming Bush is soooo last year. The place was fucked up long before Bush was even born.
Winning? What does that mean exactly?
