Days for Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that President Obama will announce his decision about more troops for Afghanistan in days. The range of options for troop increase, the BBC reports it goes from twenty thousand up to thirty five thousand, it should be noted that General McChrystal asked for forty thousand troops, thus if Obama goes for the half way house of twenty thousand he has no interest in winning the War in Afghanistan. If the President makes this decision he is falling in to the same trap as LBJ over Vietnam, gradual increase then failure. If President Obama announces the half way house then the UK should get out of Afghanistan, why should our brave soldiers die for the lack of courage of Obama. The US troops on the ground in Afghanistan would know that their Commander - in - Chief is more worried about his political base than supporting his troops in the foxholes of the hell that is Afghanistan. The Taliban are cowards but they are not stupid, they will figure out that Obama does not have the backbone to win, thus they will carry on with their killing, and the USA and the UK will lose more of their Armed Forces in Afghanistan. Thus any half way house the UK should get out of Afghanistan, the UK has played this game in the past, we don't need another bloody nose in Kabul.
