Too few American troops in Afghanistan, while Obama on non-working vacation

Afghanistan is supposed to be the good war, as opposed to Iraq which was George W. Bush's unjust war. At least that's what the Democrats told us. Now Afghanistan is Obama's war and it doesn't look good. The Democrats don't want to support this war any more than they wanted to support Iraq, now that their man is in office.

The situation in Afghanistan is serious, deteriorating, too few troops, the Taliban insurgency has gotten better, more sophisticated, according to Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. U.S. combat deaths have risen with 44 U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan in July.

Obama already plans to increase the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan to about 68,000 by year's end, more than double the 32,000 the United States had there at the end of 2008.

Mullen declined to comment on U.S. media reports that McChyrstal might recommend additional increases of 15,000, 25,000 or 45,000 troops. (Reuters)

Mullen will hold his report until after the votes are counted in Afghanistan. Seems there is a questions as to who actually won the election... Iran redux?

Afghanistan and Iraq are now Obama's Viet Nams. Public support for the war in Afghanistan is eroding and the country remains vulnerable to being taken over again by extremist forces, according to Mullen, who also said "President Barack Obama's new strategy for defeating the Taliban and al-Qaida was a work in progress".

We've been there over eight years with no end in site. Troops are outnumbered, support from home, specifically the Democrats, is dropping like a lead balloon. At the same time, troops pull-backs in Iraq have allowed the bad guys to kill Americans and Iraqis in increasing numbers. My question:

WWOD? What will Obama do? Oh, he's on a non-working vacation that's costing millions...at the well-appointed Blue Heron Farm, a private estate on Martha's Vineyard. Must be nice to be the messiah, the chosen one,...

Do we really want our troops staying there when the lefty groups are forcing them to reveal names of detainees, where they are held, and questioning every move they make? We cannot conduct a war to win with soldiers afraid to make a move, afraid they will be targeted by the Left, targeted by lawyers. It's not fair to them. They are not free to be soldiers, they are not free to do their job, they are not free to protect our country or themselves.

If we are not in this war to WIN, then get our people OUT.
