WAR: Obama OKs 17,000 more troops for Afghanistan...

[sorkoram]

We can't remove troops from Afghanistan when we never got the job done there in the first place. The violence has onlyincreased in the last couple of months and it will continue to increase. The Taliban and al Qaeda take refuge in those mountains that they have dug out tunnelsin. More civilians are dying and big *## Osama Bin Laden is still on the run. I hope none of my friends nor I get deployed, but the jobs has got to becompleted and the cats that are already a year + into their tours, need to reset.

Dom, you got your orders yet?

Based on UNODC data, there has been more opium poppy cultivation in each of the past four growing seasons (2004-2007), than in any one year during Taliban rule. Also, more land is now used for opium in Afghanistan, than for coca cultivation in Latin America. In 2007, 93% of the opiates on the world market originated in Afghanistan.[sup][1][/sup] This amounts to an export value of about $4 billion, with a quarter being earned by opium farmers and the rest going to district officials, insurgents, warlords and drug traffickers[sup][2][/sup]. AKA the (CIA)
This is Iran/Contra part 2 wake up people.

Bin Laden?

there is no oil in afghanistan. next there is no way they can win this war with weapons you have to win the hearts and minds of the people to stop the talibanmovement from spreading throughout the region. I doubt bin laden will be found.

Some of you guys must not have watched a single debate. Sending more troops to Afghanistan (as well as withdrawing troops from Iraq) is one of his mainpriorities

QFT.

The Taliban may have been terrible people but they were strictly against opium and other drugs.

Heroin has been on the rise in use since our occupation.

It's as high as it has been in 30 years.
