End this war now, its pointless.
I'd refine that to say the point is to deny the Taliban the ability to use the country as a base for terrorism.
We don't need to control the whole country to do that. A limited force stationed semi permanently would do that.
The way it's headed now it is unwinnable. And if you aren't there to win, what are you there for?
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Michael Mullen and General McChrystal are requesting more troops for Afghanistan.
Obama, says he needs more time but it's obvious, he doesn't know what he's doing.
Of course, we all knew that...!

I think we agree, it's a matter of method and will.

Its not that easy
As President, you can't just keep sending more troops when the Generals ask you....ask LBJ
Obama can afford to dump more troops into Afghanistan for the next two years and hope for some stability. By 2011 he needs to get the hell out or it will cost him the election
Hey, barry told letterman he would 'ask some hard questions on this.'
And that nothing will be done this year, so he punted the next three months at least.

No the hard question will be:
Can I cut and run to please the Left and still get re-elected?
Why would I want to fight against those freedom fighters al Qaeda, the Taliban and Osama bin Laden?No the hard question will be:

Here we a scumbag who has no problem sending his neighbor to risk his life in Afghanistan in order to........er............uhum.............ahhh.............make sure that KBR, Halliburton and other war profiteers make a gazillion dollars.
Nothing prevents you from picking up a duffel bag, a BB gun and going to Kabul and defending whatever the fuck you believe is worth defending.
