Obama sends more troops over unannounced

In an unannounced move,President Obama is dispatching up to 15,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan beyond the 21,000 he announced in March.

The additional troops are primarily support forces —such as engineers,medical personnel,intelligence experts and military police. 

A Washington Post report published Tuesday said Obama dispatched 13,000 additional troops,but an unnamed defense official familiar with the process told Fox News that the number is closer to 15,000.

"Obama authorized the whole thing. The only thing you saw announced in a press release was the 21,000,"a defense official,speaking anonymously,told the Washington Post.

But in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday,a defense official refuted that the dispatch was "unannounced,"saying the decision to send 15,000 additional troops was part of a larger move to reach 68,000 troops in Afghanistan by year’s end —a move that Defense Secretary Robert Gates cleared with Obama in March,the official said.

    Well it's about time he did something positive. Sneaky or not,our guys can use the support. I've been in war and support is a great thing. My comments have nothing to do with Obama's good points,( I don't believe he has any) I just like the troops getting more of what they need over there.

    GOD BLESS AMERICA!
