Should We Rethink Afghanistan War Strategy?

What? War Strategy. There is only one strategy and one only. Pull all our troops and equipment out, leaving not a single soldier or piece of in tact equiptment. Stop, funding the corupt excuses of so called, Afghan governments,with taxpayers billions. Start pulling out NOW. The only winners are the Military Industrial Complex And their bought and paid for politicans and bureaucrates. Pocketing millions over the bodies of our troops and innocent Iraqs.

When will our professional politicians let our military do their job and just keep their damn mouths shut regarding military strategy. They are failing to do their jobs right. Where do they get the idea they can tell our military how to do their jobs?????

As long as politicians are telling our military how to run a war, we will never win another war.

The strategy is already out and it is clear. In December the review takes place. The military will have to demonstrate whether they have achieved the goals they claimed they could achieve during the review that was conducted last year. If they have, it goes on. If they haven't, they are getting this fiasco hung around their necks and we back out of there. Is it too soon to drop the "military can do no wrong" fantasy and start holding the leadership accountable? It is. Everyone is accountable. If they haven't performed no one wants to hear excuses. We will change the policy, recognizing that a military solution replete with nation-building is simply not doable in such a fragmented area of the world. We have to focus on real threats to our security (collapsed economy, rising Chinese hegemony, energy, climate change, etc) any of which could threaten our national existence. Afghanistan, with no air force, navy, or organized army presents threats but they are not existential.

WHAT STRATEGY 2 Billion per day. Momey wasted and going too politicans and the military, both Afghan and American.

YES. LEAVE NOW ! No,waiting hours,days or months. N O W ! !

No more, American lives. No more American wealth. N O W ! !

Afghanistan broke the Soviet Union because a member of our congress supplieed them with stinger missles.

Afghanistan broke the Soviet Union and will most certainly break us too. This war for profit is now coasting us 2 billions per day; you heard me right, 2 billions per day as our infrastructure goes to ****.

This war needs to go on or else, how will the Military Industrial Complex remain in the black ?

We do need to rethink our defense polices for the entire world. We need to remove our troops from Europe unless they are willing to pay all the expenses to keep our bases and troops there as they are longer needed in Germany or for the defense of Europe, we need to remove our troops from S. Korea by the end of 2012 or require that S. Korea and Japan pay for our expenses to remain there and also to require Japan to build it's defense forces so they assist in their own defense. We also need to get out of Iraq by the end of 2011 totally (the Iran siuation leaves a small number of our troops to tempting a target for them) or have their government start paying for our expenses on any support/combat troops we leave there as well.

In Afghanistan, we need to step up to the plate with a scorched earth policy to weaken the Taliban until they agree to join the existing government.
The biggest problem remains the militant Muslims throughout the world that are hell bent on spreading the influence and domination of all religions and all countries to submit to their fire brand extreme Muslism teachings. I believe that to be an impossible task to do, so the greater problem that needs to be addressed is not having a Committee re-exam our strategy in Afghanistan, but to exam how we are going to deal with the militant Muslims throughout the world - peace or war.

We should have one goal in Afghanistan, Kill Osama Bin Laden!
