I agree with you on the build up of American troops in Afghanistan is not good at all. Fighting an unknown war that most other countries have failed to do especially in Afghanistan. We keep building up troops to send over there to fight a war that these Taliban soldiers have known nothing but to fight they’re whole life. No one has ever won a war there, and in a way this is a modern day Vietnam War. We will always be fighting terrorism if everyone was good what would evil be. CNN reported that lawmakers want to have a deadline to withdrawal troops or have some sort of plan to win the war there.
With really no other country helping us out except NATO who has about 5,000 more there we have roughly 100,000 troops there and more on the way. One quote from article states "You either have a winning strategy ... and then once it's succeeded, then we withdraw or, as the president said, we will have a date [for] beginning withdrawal in July 2011.
We can fight and fight there but in my mind is more money spending on something we cannot win even with all of our technology. Are we spending more and more money on a war that may last along time rather then taking a step back and rethink everything? Yes I know you can say then that gives them time to recoup or recruit more people and I believe it really does not matter. With new and new strategies done, it just seems that everything keeps getting put back and some new strategy is made up again.
