Decisions about withdrawing troops from Iraq and sending more troops to Afghanistan have been delayed until the Pentagon provides President Barack Obama with more detail about the risks and implications of the issues confronting him, according to two senior Pentagon officials.
All predicted well before the election. Hmm, where are those folks who said he would follow through? Come to think of it, how many really believe gitmo will be closed by jan next year?

Fact is that the real war on terror in Afghanistan has turned intoa crapsandwich. The Taliban and al Queda control more than one third of Afghanistan.The US had a limited window of opportunity in which to win the Afghan war and thatwindow is closing fast.
The Taliban and al Queda control more than one third of AfghanistanTheyattack at will in nearly everyarea of the country. NATO militarysupplies from Pakistan areroutinely being attacked in the Khyber Pass area. Kyrgyzstan has stopped US use ofManas airport. Russia allows the US to send non-lethal supplies through that country to Afghanistan. If you cannot supply the troops you will lose the war.
Bush refused to sent enough troops to Afghanistan to get the job done.Bush and the Saudis were working on a deal to negotiate with the Taliban.
Lol, your always full of such cheerful news. Less than 2 years ago, the central war on terror was Iraq. Don't take my word on that just ask Osama (if he is still alive). However, I love your statement, "Bush refused to send more troops". That's a laugh. Go check the records, Afghanastan is a NATO effort and please tell me which countries send troops which countries send waiters?

The USA was attacked by Saudis commanded bya Saudi who was operatingfrom Afghanistan. The real war on terror was and still is in Afghanistan. Bush turned it into a NATO op. Instead of stepping up to the plate and getting enough US troops on the ground in Afghanistan; Bush went to every country in NATO begging for troops while the country was being lost to alQueda and the Taliban.For years US commanders in Afghanistan have begged for more Us troops, to no avail.
Now Hamad Karzai is in favor of "negotiating" with the Taliban.

LMAO, Your amazing, on one hand you claim Iraq was unwinnable and now your claiming Afghanstan is? Once again ask Osama and his sidekick,both repeatedly stressed Iraq was the central war on terrorism. Al Qaeda flooded Iraq with terrorist because there was money in Iraq. Guess what, they lost there. They are also being pressured in Pakistan hence the latest bombing in India. So today your all for USA being the police officers of the world and we shouldn't involve NATO in Afghanistan (BTW, whonever attacked us).
Fact is falcon, we are in a war on terrorism. In a war, your enemey shifts and make adjustments all the time. You of all people should know this. We are shifting and we are making adjustments. Bush was wise enough to inform us that this war on terrorism will go on for a very long time. It just won't end over night.

Bull$hit, pure and unadulterated.Bush talked his "fear" crap while wussing out on the "war on terror." Terrorists flooded into Iraq after Bush invaded the place based on "faulty intelligence." WMD=wandon mass deception. Fact is that the Bush "war on terror"was about as successful as the war on drugs and the war on poverty.

When did we get hit agian??? Bush caused us to be attacked several times??? Look at Clintons watch, compare it to Bush. Bush had 0 attacks (9-11 was left over from Clinton). You can find many different attempts that Bush stopped. Sounds like he did a good job to me.

Terrorist were already in Iraq and in fact, Sadam was a terrorist. However, WMD, wasn't the only reason we invaded and you know it. Sadam's unfettering support for terrorism, His funding of terrorism and his violation of 17/18? UN resolution and his repeated violation of his terms for surrender.

True very true all done by Sadam Husein
Funny, I love you making the arguement that the world would be much better off with Sadam Husein still in power. Besides you and rainmaker, you maybe the only ones.
