More Troops to Afghan

[Cypress]

Uuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...yeah we would have...that was one of our big complaints...Obama telegraphing when we would be there and when we would be leaving.

I think there's a rule that anyone on this board who thought Invading and Occupying Iraq was a great idea can just shut their mouths on any thread where military strategy is the topic. They have no - none, zero, nada, zilch - credibility.

So take a back seat, and keep quiet, ma'am.

I didn't watch the speech. Teleprompter Trump makes my ears burn. Did he explain how you get rid of terrorists without nation-building?

he did exactly that. Use a counter-terrorism strategy-not a counterinsurgency (nationbuilding) .

Put some pressure on Paki to close the border from Waziristan ( Tribal areas). which of course is very difficult.
Pakistan has been letting internal pressures from the TTP Taliban blow off over the border into AfPak, instead of drifting south to Peshawar/Quetta.
Try to get India to buy into a regional security cooperative

More concocted "if/would" bullshit. In childspeak, no less.

Ignorant twatwattle.

[domer76]

By design.

Of course things are always short on specifics by design for Trump. That's because he's massively ignorant of the issues.

what do you want? battle plans?
Obama did that-announced a surge, and the next day went to National Defense University and announced a timeline for withdrawal

idiot. not war is war. war is either effectively prosecuted or not.

Hillray voted for NATIONBUILDING and organized REGIME CHANGE in Iraq/Libya.

I would be OK with getting all the way out, but that would leave a vacuum ( as Trump said).
we really do not want to leave a terrorist state behind

This is the best way - small amount of troops in a support role to KILL TERRORISTS-
and trying much harder to get the regional players to step up

Idiot. There is no need to engage in nation building in Afghanistan because the US is not at odds with the govt there.

Afghanistan and Iraq were two totally different situations as was Libya. Afghanistan is simply a country that terrorists use as a base of operations with the govt unable to do anything about it. Iraq and Libya are/were countries with dictatorial leaders who were causing trouble in the region.

I never agreed with invading Iraq, but comparing the country with Afghanistan vis-a-vis the kind of war strategy that was or should have been employed is disingenuous. Why would we want to topple an Afghani govt that wants basically the same thing we do... terrorists out of their country vs Iraq where the govt basically were terrorists?

You're the idiot here, idiot.

Anybody who substitutes words with single letters when they write has no room even talking about what grownups are doing.

Because you are not in that club.
