2,000 More UK Soldiers for Afghanistan


The Sunday Times: Reports that the UK is expected to send two thousand more troops to Afghanistan. The more soldiers you have in Afghanistan the more body bags its that simple, but we can not afford to lose Afghanistan, the time when we could leave is over, last month the UK lost 22 of of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, the USA lost 42. Once so much blood has been spilled it would be cowardice to leave, thus the UK is in Afghanistan for the long bloody haul. There has to be security in Afghanistan for the people to vote in the Presidential Election in August, the security structure of Afghanistan from the Army to Police has to be built up, the UK and the USA will be in Afghanistan for years, that's the simple fact. The opposition to the War will grow, it always does, this is the War Obama wanted to fight in the 08 Campaign, well he is POTUS, he has done a Obama surge in Afghanistan, its his war now, lets see how much of a War Leader President Obama is, is he FDR or LBJ.
