Fewer Troops Needed In Afghanistan


In the blog above Haley Barbour, a republican, is expressing his opinion for the US to pull troops out of Iraq. He is quoted as saying,”What is our mission? How many Al Qaeda are in Afghanistan. … Is that a 100,000-man Army mission?” He continues with,” I don’t think our mission should be to think we’re going to make Afghanistan an Ireland or an Italy or a Western-style democracy”.

FINALLY!!!! I have been saying this for a couple years now. Why do we need so many soldiers over there for so few Al Qaeda??  Fewer terrorists should mean fewer soldiers. It is a waste of our time, lives, and money to try to reform and rebuild a country that wasn’t anything like ours to begin with. We cannot force our beliefs on others. They have a totally different history and religious background than we do in the United States.  I am on board with Haley Barbour. Bring the majority of our troops home. Let’s stop trying to fix everyone else and work on our own problems at home.
