Obama returns to D.C., Afghan decision near

7 years ago, the U.S. stopped the Taliban led governmnet in Afghanistan, and we want to keep the control that we have. So Obama wants to add 30,000 more troops to that region by the end of the year. The commander in Afghanistan asked for more troops to get a new handle on what is going on. This is one of the top priorites to look at while he is in office. Obama has this big decision and also what to do about the ecomony on his mind. He spent a few days back in Chicago with his family. This was a break for him, since he has been working to pass the stimuls bill.

I think that we shouldn't send anymore troops into that region at all. Not Iraq nor Afghanistan because he said that during the election that he was going to pull the troops out. So why is he adding more. Yes we want to keep the democratic governmnet in place there. But what about the safty of the troops that are fighting there. If the Taliban is gaining a little more control we should be fighting them off but we shouldn't add anymore troops to that region. We have been in that region way to long, this isn't our war to fight anymore. It was in the beginning but now it is the people of the country.
