Like I said, Bush had it right, a small presence as possible in Afghanistan so as not to irritate the population.

The more troops we put there the more problems we created between the civilians and us and the Afghan Government.

Not to mention the fact that Obama's White House undermined the very man they sent to find a solution.

In WW2 we did what we had to do to win, and we had alot more manpower. Now we are fighting this war trying to win "hearts and minds" and trying to be friendly to our enemies.
