Obama Does Something Right For A Change, Sends Troop Surge Into Afghanistan
I criticize Obama a lot (and rightfully so), so it’s actually kind of nice to praise him for once. I think he’s doing the right thing by sending more troops to Afghanistan. We invaded that country to topple a tyrannous regime just like we did in Iraq. When we invaded, we made a promise that we’d leave the country better than we found it. Again, just like in Iraq.
Now it’s time to win the war in Afghanistan. Just like we’ve won in Iraq.
I’m glad that Obama finally gets this with Afghanistan. I wish he’d realized it when the debate had to do with Iraq.
Does Obama has what it takes to finish the mission in Afghanistan? I don’t know. He strikes me as a finger-in-the-wind type of politician who runs away from making tough, unpopular decisions even when they’re the right ones. But sending in more troops is the right first step.
