Obama on Afghanistan: America’s Key Goals Can Be Completed ‘Without Us Increasing Our Troop Levels’

The president said he will reassess the possible need for additional U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the Afghan national elections in August. The narrow national security goal, he said, is to ensure terrorist organizations are not acting with impunity. To that end, the U.S. must help build the Afghan army and encourage Pakistan to shore up its borders, he said. "I think those goals can be achieved without us increasing our troop levels."

America…mark down these words…”without us increasing our troop levels”!

This will prove to be, yet, another lie!

He promised to bring our troops home from Iraq during the campaign…but what he didn’t say is that he considers Afghanistan “home”!

Afghanistan – OBAMA’S WAR!

No more troops needed? Is that why my Grandson and his guys in Afghanistan are over worked because “no more troops are needed”? These troops go out on missions for a month at a time.They sleep in their trucks,no wonder they have had so many injuries,how can you function and be alert? More troops ARE needed and if our President cannot see that he does not care about their safety.I am furious at this President and his lack of concern.

If we don’t stand up for ourselves soon, our country will be lost! But not
forever–good always conquers evil!!!
