CNN News: Reports that President Obama will make his decision on more troops for Afghanistan quite soon. Here is my advice to the new President, no surge of troops to Afghanistan, more troops wont help, in less your going to go big and quick in to Pakistan, to clean out the tribal areas of the terrorists bases. Otherwise its wiser to keep Afghanistan at its present low level of conflict. Also when it comes to Iraq, start to withdraw troops but over a twenty three month period, also change the status of most of the combat troops to trainers of the Iraqi Army and Police. If Obama sends troops in to Afghanistan but does not deal with Pakistan he is doing a LBJ, sending in troops but not attacking the supply area with combat troops, in the case of Vietnam, it was North Vietnam, in the case of Afghanistan its Pakistan. Thus Afghanistan will become Obama's War. He might find that he wishes had kept his troops in Iraq and kept Afghanistan a low level War.
