President Barack Obama announced Tuesday night that as many as 17,000 additional troops are headed to Afghanistan in the coming months, administration officials said...
Obama cited a direct threat to the United States from Al Qaeda as part of the rationale for his decision.
“The situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan demands urgent attention and swift action,” Obama said, announcing the deployment in a written statement. “The Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan, and Al Qaeda supports the insurgency and threatens America from its safe haven along the Pakistani border.”
Doubtless there are many Amerikans who think that our border with Pakistan is threatened.
Doubtless there are many others counting on the jobs program expansion of the Endless War will provide.
