Obama prepares to invade Afganistan with 30,000 more troops
War On Terrorism:The Pentagon will add thousands of troops to Afghanistan next summer,setting up the smart war Barack Obama prefers. We hope he won’t one day regret his choice and pull troops out too soon.
In October 2002,as President Bush and Congress were finalizing plans to invade Iraq and topple Saddam Hussein’s brutal regime,Obama told participants at an anti-war rally in Chicago that he didn’t “oppose all wars,”but was certainly against “a dumb war”that is “based not on reason but on passion,not on principle but on politics.”
If Obama is indeed against dumb wars — he repeated his opposition to the “dumb war”in Iraq several times in that speech — then we have to assume he is in favor of smart wars. And given his comments about Afghanistan — in July he said more troops needed to be deployed in that country,because it should be the central focus in the war on terrorism — we must conclude that fighting in Afghanistan is a smart war.
Obama “wasn’t hiding. He was completely out in the open,”Griffin said. “We didn’t by any stretch of the imagination expect to get the images we got.”
