re: #494 opnion

Disturbing news, while we are planning a 17,000 ttroop surge in Afghanistan, the Pakistan government is complicating things.
The government has ceded control of border tribal areas to the Taliban.
Sharia Law is instituted & assasinations, beheadings & denial of education for gilrls are in full swing.

I have mixed emotions on this,but if we are not going to make a full commitment in Afghanistan, we should consider leaving,or greatly reducing our presence now.
It is going to get more difficult,and Obama doesn’t have the desire or fortitude to see it through.
May be just stay in a position to protect Pak. nukes.
I know leaving is not a solution but it may be the best bad choice we have. Like I said,Obama will not have the fortitude to stay when it get tougher.
