Since Obama is anti-war; why is he even entertaining the thought about sending more?

Question

of our military into the battle of Afghanistan? Move them out of Iraq and send them to the battle ground of Afghanistan. Does this mean our men and women there are only playing the board game RISK?

Answer 1

because he likes wearing flip-flops.

he wants to move them because Afghanistan is where they should have been in the first place.

Answer 2

No it does not mean they are playing risk well sort of the objective in afghanistan is to get usama bin laden as of iraq there really was no just cause to go into there the idea was weapons of mass destruction(WMD) where in iraq and we where to take the (WMD) out of iraq. Now supposubly we never captured Usama and now taliban and alquida forces are regaining there strength in the mountains and the border of pakistan remember this was the war. I believe in the war in afghanistan compared to iraq and believe using our resources more for that war to capture the man responsible for 9/11 if he is still alive then wasting our time in a country that has already a stable democratic goverment a surplus in there economy and a country we should have never been in in the first place

Answer 9

He can't be anti-war because the US is in the middle of a war and will more than likely be in the middle of future wars.  The US is not a passive nation.  The US stands up for its interests and the interests of others.  You cannot have an American commander and chief who is afraid to fight and go to war when you need to and besides we are in a middle of a war in Afganistan and Iraq and we can't back out now with our tails between our legs.

Answer 10

Afghanistan is where Al Qaeda and the Taliban are.

Ok, so maybe we should have more troops here too.
