More Troops for Afghanistan - Obama

Fox News: Reports that President Obama has stated that more troops could be sent to Afghanistan. One gets the impression that Obama is going down the LBJ road, LBJ had Vietnam and Obama has Afghanistan. It does not matter how much troops or money you throw at Afghanistan, its the loss of good troops for nothing and money down the toilet, you cant change Afghanistan, from Alexander the Great down the people of Afghanistan have not taken to being invaded for their benefit or not, thus on the negative side you had the Soviet Union invasion, the West supported the mujahedeen then the West left, now its the USA and the UK in Afghanistan on the plus side, we are trying to help the people. The problem is folks the West does not have the attention span to stay in for ten or twenty years. After we are gone the Taliban or some other native group will take over and throw all the Western reform out, will Afghanistan become the new Iraq, the War god awful War that gets dusted under the carpet. At what about the poor Armed Forces, will their losses be remembered or will it become a close case.
