The Selling of Afghanistan

ABC: Reports that when President Obama announces more troops for Afghanistan, he will state that there is an exit plan for Afghanistan. If this is the Obama plan then NATO has lost in Afghanistan, do you tell the enemy that by a certain date you are out of the conflict. The Taliban are murdering cowards by they are not stupid, all they have to do is wait Obama out, make sure the US and NATO soldiers take enough dead to make the War another Vietnam. At the end of the day the War in Vietnam was lost at back in the USA. The Afghanistan War was the Just War for the Democrats, it was the War that they could use to attack Bush 43, the shoe is now on a different foot, the War in Iraq is over, all US troops should be out of Iraq by 2011. The War in Afghanistan is not going well, General McChrystal has stated that the USA has a year to win Afghanistan, if that is the real situation on the ground then NATO has lost, President Obama might think he has an exit out of Afghanistan but then he is forgetting one fact, Pakistan. The reason the NATO and the US is in Afghanistan is not about Afghanistan, its about the nuclear armed Pakistan, the Army of Pakistan is taking on the Taliban on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, but to keep the pressure up the US has to have troops across the border to take out the Taliban when they cross to get away from the Army of Pakistan. If the US was to withdraw it troops, the Taliban of both Afghanistan and Pakistan would have safe heaven in Afghanistan, thus Pakistan could fall to the Taliban. That would be a disaster for the region, India would have to take military action, this could go nuclear, thus massive destruction in the area. Thus advice to readers, if you hear POTUS going on about exit routes, just think of a second hand car salesman from Chicago trying to sell you a clapped out car. As long as Pakistan is under threat the USA and NATO will stay in Afghanistan.
