Fox News: Reports that the first stage of the second Obama surge to Afghanistan will be nine thousand Marines to the South of Afghanistan. This deployment will hep the UK, lets hope we get to loan some of the helicopters of our American cousins. It has come to this we need the US to carry our troops, shame on Gordon Brown. I have my doubts if the second Obama surge will work in Afghanistan, but lets give it a trial. The problem with Afghanistan as with Vietnam is that due to geography the terrain helps the Taliban/ Al Qaeda, they can attack NATO forces and then run back over the border to Pakistan. Iran it can be postulated will try to cause havoc as to shift attention away from its nuclear plants, the Taliban / Al Qaeda can fade in to the background, thus hard for the Western troops to know who the enemy is at the best of times. Also we have to see the politics , its the Mid Term Congressional Elections next year, the Liberal left will not be happy with this surge, thus Obama could lose Congress to the Republicans, the Liberal left never wants to fight Wars, they are stuck in Vietnam. Thus for President Obama Afghanistan could be his Vietnam, if Afghanistan and Pakistan go down the toilet and Iran goes Nuclear Obama will not win in 2012, in fact he could follow LBJ and be a one term President, he could decide not run, those are the stake folks for POTUS.
