Obama's War - Afghanistan

CNN News: Reports on a new poll that's shows that 54% of Americans oppose the War in Afghanistan. The Just War that Obama wanted to fight in the 08 Campaign could become his Vietnam War. As Iraq destroyed the Presidency of Bush 43, Afghanistan could have the same effect on Obama. Obama could be the new LBJ. As posted yesterday the Obama Administration is having difficult in coming up with grades to define success in Afghanistan, there are no grades for success in Afghanistan, that's the problem. Last month the USA lost 43 of its Armed Forces Personnel, the UK lost 22. In August alone the USA has lost 11, the UK has lost one soldier. Although the USA has more troops in Afghanistan, even they are effected by this level of attrition, sooner or later Obama will come to crossroads, will he put more troops in to Afghanistan as LBJ placed more troops in to South Vietnam or will Obama find a way to leave, there will be no victory it just how many of troops we in the UK and USA lose in this bloody War in Afghanistan.
