Obama Not Honest about Afghanistan: There is no Short-Term Solution
I understand the need for the U.S. to remain in Afghanistan, namely to prevent Taliban and Al Qaeda thugs from terrorizing the populace and using the country as a base to launch attacks against America and our allies, most notably nuclear armed Pakistan, but President Obama’s strategy of a short-term, massive escalation to end the Afghan war seems disingenuous at best.- Sunday, July 4, 2010
