Obama - 4,000 Soldiers to Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that the Obama Administration will sent another four thousand troops to Afghanistan to help train the police and other internal security forces. This is a mistake, does any one recall that's how the Vietnam War started to get real under Kennedy, Kennedy sent in thousand of trainers, then came the troops, the USA has done it backwards, but its the same point. Thus the War in Afghanistan becomes the Obama War. The sending of the first 17,000 troops now followed by this extra 4, 000 makes Obama more tied to the War. The Obama Plan for an Exit route is rubbish, the Afghan Army and Police will never be ready to take over the fighting. The idea that Pakistan can somehow take on the Taliban/Terrorists in the tribal badlands on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan is a non starter, the government is on very thin ground at the moment; the USA use of drones to kill the terrorists in Pakistan has not gone down well; the political elite is split in Pakistan, thus the recent decision by the Government to fold to the demands of the political opposition for the ex Chief Justice of Pakistan to get his job back. Thus it can be argued that Obama is the new LBJ. Thus Obama will no win re-election in 2012.
