obama on afghanistan Options

who watched obama's speech on the afghanistan troop increase? opinions?

[brooklyneast05]

obama has always supported the war in afghanistan. he has been calling it a war of necessity and urging we put our efforts there (rather than fighting what he deems the unnecessary war in iraq) since he was campaigning. it shouldn't come as any surprise when he wants to aggressively go forward and focus on afghanistan, since he repeatedly told us over and over again that that's where our national defense efforts would be.


for the most part you're probably confusing iraq and afghanistan. although of course ideally we want to bring them all home. (which is still part of the plan he outlined, for whatever that's worth)
