This is how ignorant Starkey is....the President NEVER pulled any troops from Afghanistan...he continually built them up over the 8 years he was in office. Some of our NATO allies never stepped up. Starkey is such a dishonest liberal hack he refuses to even acknowledge NATO's presence in Afghanistan!!! A slap in the face to the U.K. and Canada! You're a real piece of garbage Starkey.
I wish Starkey would stop lying and giving real conservatives a bad name.
You must be on a mission to prove yourself more ignorant than Liability. Why do assholes like you try to pass yourself off as informed? Everybody with a spec of brain power already knows:
"In 2002, troops from the 5th Special Forces Group who specialize in the Middle East were pulled out of the hunt for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan to prepare for their next assignment: Iraq."
USATODAY.com - Shifts from bin Laden hunt evoke questions
That proves your claim flat out wrong buy I've no doubt you will try to squirm out of it because slimy tadpole ***** like yourself never have the dignity to admit when you are wrong.
No it doesn't. That is one group that is specialized in one area.
The total number of troops increased.
Bush: Troops to divert to Afghanistan - Washington Times
By Jon Ward
President Bush will announce Tuesday the diversion of some U.S. troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, in a speech that marks a turn in focus for his administration as it approaches its last four months in office.
"As al Qaeda faces increased pressure in Iraq, the terrorists are stepping up their efforts on the front where this struggle first began: the nation of Afghanistan," said Mr. Bush's prepared remarks, which were released to the press Monday evening.
"Afghanistan's success is critical to the security of America and our partners in the free world. And for all the good work we have done in that country, it is clear we must do even more," Mr. Bush will say.
The president has decided to send a Marine battalion — which are usually between 500 to 1,500 troops originally slated for Iraq to Afghanistan in November.
In January, an Army brigade — of 3,500 to 5,000 troops — will also go to Afghanistan.
The U.S. already has 31,000 soldiers in Afghanistan, up from 21,000 two years ago, according to the White House. [/COLOR

Mr. Bush will also tout successes in Iraq and attribute them to a surge of 30,000 troops last year. He will proceed with the recommendation of Gen. David H. Petraeus, his commanding officer in Iraq, and withdraw 8,000 soldiers from Iraq over the next four months, without replacing them, bringing U.S. troop levels in Iraq to 146,000, the Associated Press reported.
and you know it you dishonest ****!!!! Read FISA.
