When more troops are sent there will be more casulties no question about it. How many troops did the Russians have there? About a million or so. The more troops that go there the more Afghans will fight to get rid of them. That's the way it's always been there and nothing has changed to make it any different. I wonder what you back seat generals would be saying if the C in C sent the entire American army there and it ended up as an unmitigated disaster. It would be all his fault, right. I wonder what all you critics think about the former C in C sending all the troops to Iraq. A totally unnecessary war. No WMD in Iraq. There were no terrorists in Iraq. There was once they were attacked. Be honest,it does not matter one iota what Obama does or does not, you will be against it. That's why I call a lot of the opponents ANTI AMERICANS. I mean how much more anti American can you get than to say,"I hope he fails". That's what Al Quaida hopes that's what the Taliban hopes and sadly sadly sadly that is what some Americans hope.

If there were no terrorists in Iraq, what do YOU call Saddam Hussein and his Baathist Party? Among his other accomplishments he rewarded the Palestinian suicide bombers that would blow up Israelis, besides terrorizing his own countrymen, women and children.

No WMD's in Iraq because we had to wait for the other terrorists, called the UN, to make up their minds what to do. We wasted valuable time, through diplomatic channels, waiting for them to stop picking their noses (or was it pulling their thumbs out of their butts?) and decide. By then the WMD's had been put on a convoy to Syria..........where the heck have you been?

What I'm trying to figure out is how a christian can support anyone who is liberal minded, much less a communist. Can you tell me how this can be, PLEASE?! I am stupified.

If it wasn't for the CIA, Afghanistan might have been part of Russia today.

NobleOne, me thinks thou doth protest too much. For someone who claims not to be that supportive of Obama, you sure do defend him aggressively enough.

I find it refreshing that a president is willing to adhere to the wishes of the families in this instance.

I like the idea that he took the time to see the effects of war on those that have given their life.

Whether you agree with the politics or not, is your personal opinion. Many others will have their personal opinions as well.
