...You think it's easy to decide if he should commit more troops to Afghanistan, he isn't sending more vehicles, or guns pan, he's sending more bloody humans to a war that may or may not even be winnable, where they may or may not die. I don't think it's an inability at all, the man is taking his time to make the right decision, not some reactionary, more troops are going to win this war thing. Remember Vietnam? Yeah sending 'help' as you put it really worked wonders there now didn't it?

Regarding your first comment...Pan created this thread titled "Political Ranting" so I don't understand why members here are putting him down for ranting about politics. He has every right to rant as anyone else here. The title doesn't say he's looking for "common ground".
Regarding your next comment...you can't compare Vietnam with Afghanistan. We were attacked on our own soil by terrorists who trained in Afghanistan in 2001. Vietnam did not pose a direct national-security threat; even believers in the "domino theory" did not expect to see the Viet Cong fighting in San Francisco. Afghanistan has always been seen as the right and necessary war to fight.
