ARE WE HEADED FOR A VIETNAM IN AFGHANISTAN? OBAMA/BIDEN ANTICIPATE A MILITARY INCREASE....

Wednesday, January 28, 2009
 

Despite the revel in a new presidency, the specter of an increased military conflict in Afghanistan certainly detracts from the optimism that we have felt recently.   The Obama administration is considering double the U.S. force in Afghanistan to more than 60,000 troops within 18 months. While the logic behind it may seem to suggest that an added military can subvert the advance of al-Qaeda, the problem with Afghanistan lies in the long and bloody history of that country that has seen its share of invaders, most of whom ultimately left defeated. This included Alexander the Great, the British, the Soviets to name a few.

Given the fact that our military effect is far different from our military affectation, one has to wonder whether this is a battle that we should be undertaking, especially given our already huge national debt, about to grow even larger with an economic stimulus, and with a global economy dancing in tandem with us on the lake of recession.

It would seem that prevention of another attack on US soil might be better served by finding ways to shore up our national solidarity, not to mention the cracks in our border policies, immigration policies and those few of us left who believe that privacy is a right we have not already abandoned in our credit addiction and endless gathering of "marketing data."

It would seem to make more sense to make the country strong from within and develop a better security intelligence to detect and thwart those who enter with the purpose of destruction, rather than contributing to it elsewhere.  Of course some will see that statement as pacifistic in nature; however given how stretched we are in all areas, any defeat in a militaristic venture would have a crushing blow upon the country.

I'm curious as to your thoughts about this and what effect it will have upon your views of the new president. Click on the two images above to read from the source...
