I think that President Obama's speech last night, addressing the War in Afghanistan, was mostly pretty words. He is sending out 30,000 more troops, and giving those troops 18 months to give power to the Afghan people. 1st, he set a time limit. He shouldn't have even estimated how long it will take, because no one really knows. 2nd, how many times has the Afghan government been overthrown by the Taliban? Way too many. 3rd, he was mostly using pretty, patriotic words, to appeal to the American citizens. America is in this war. There are no time limits to war. The Taliban is a force to be reckoned with, our government needs to help the Afghan government for as long as they need our help. I could go on and on... But, I won't. I'm sure you all know my opinion by now.
