So many family members are fighting over there and abandoned by this government....Obama needs to either get out or send troops...this is suicide! We don't want more of our man and woman get killed over there....just because this inexperienced president can't make a decision....shouldn't the generals on the ground over there know what needs to be done, and Obama listen to them....JMO!
Convential forces are always at a disadvantage fighting native irregular forces, the average Talibani has no idea where Washington is much less what goes on there.

Get a second opinion and undermine the same Generals that he told us all that he would be communicating with and failed to do so?

What is YOUR plan then or do you need more time so more American soliders can die because the enemy sees us as weak under Obama.

The enemy have ramped up the attacks because they know the moron cannot make a decision to save his arse.

How many more lives are going to be lost because of Obama's mistakes?

If people are concerned over family members,as they should be, advise them to stay home .

More and more people sign up for the army...and not just over here. It is logical since the unemployement is very high and for many it is an easy way to get a job, without realizing that they can be sent to not so safe places....can you blame people for trying to get a job in todays economy.

Is it too much to ask from now a "Nobel Peace prize winner" to act and do what is in the best interest of our troops!

This has nothing to do with Dem. or Rep. but with our hero's over there and their safety...either pull them out or provide what the generals are asking for!

What i fear is that wit the war in afganistan we are seeing a return to the keenedy whiz kids that decided that X number of bullets expended meant X number of enemy killed ;so put the M16 into serve early. Politcial decison on how to be popular and get reelected rather than how to succeed. I saw Obama say one thing in the campaign but fail comp[letely to lead on this sice and now seem to waffle because his view is not popular.

When Americans fought their Revolutionary War it was against an enemy with a similar "distinct fighting advantage." And the British, with all their superior fighting force, lost.

As you're allegedly concerned about families.

Could we arrange it for you and your family to be redeployed to Afghanistan?
