I heard Obama say many times that he wants to bring our troops home. I assume he means from Iraq, but lately he seems to be saying the real war is in Afghanistan. Are the troops he wants to bring home, going to be deployed in Afghanistan?

I have wondered this too and questioned my own hearing. It makes me uneasy.
Quote:
Does Obama see our military in Afghanistan as an occupation? Does he have political goals for Afghanistan? Does he have a time frame for withdraw? How does he define victory in Afghanistan?

If any of these are true, I hope he is powwowing with Pelosi, if he hasnt already. The whole thing bothers me.
Quote:
Overall, my real concern is that Obama is using Afghanistan to sound like he can be tough and is using Afghanistan as a means to rationalize being against the Iraq war.

I am taking him at face value until I hear otherwise. shit.
