katie couric has a special tonight that i am watching on the afghanistan war and she reported the number of deaths of our military there since we went in there btw....
What is success in Afghanistan....?
mccain gave a typical answer that we've been hearing...stop alqaeda, stop taliban, etc...
and john kerry gave one that i have not heard expressed that much...it certainly has given me second thought to my Doveness and earlier positions.
He said that our true focus is Pakistan, a stable Pakistan.
and that Afghanistan was the way to this....and keeping the bad guys from destablizing Pakistan, who does have nukes.
I am not privy to all the information behind this war, I just do not see an end to it....and war, without end, is unacceptable to me.
What I pray for right now, is that God (Good) guides all of our leaders in this war so that it comes to a quick, just, end. I pray that God guides our commander in chief in to this end as well.
i had read once that it was more humane to send in the forces 10 fold, overwhelmingly over power your enemy, so that it happens immediately or very quickly than to drag out a war with insufficient forces to get the job done quickly....which adds to longer agony of the innocent people caught in the crossfire.
wouldn't it be something if president obama just steps outside of the box, takes a major risk, and instead of sending 45000 more troops as the general is requesting but sending in another 250,000?
and other world leaders committing another 100,000 troops themselves after showing the usa commitment?
and just taking care of this problem there, ONCE AND FOR ALL....
Or, if Obama just took the opposite stance and said, we are bringing all of our troops home, it is TIME for you, NATO to man up....?
INSTEAD of this piece meal approach?
i dunno i dunno i dunno?
