White House: Leaving Afghanistan not an option

The White House said Monday that President Barack Obama is not considering a strategy for Afghanistan that would withdraw U.S. troops from the eroding war there.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said that walking away isn't a viable option to deal with a war that is about to enter its ninth year.

"I don't think we have the option to leave. That's quite clear," Gibbs said.

The debate over whether to send as many as 40,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan is a major element of a strategy overhaul that senior administration policy advisers will consider this week as they gather for top-level meetings on the evolving direction of the war.

Obama has invited a bipartisan group of congressional leaders to the White House on Tuesday to confer about the war. He said the administration would brief leaders from both parties and key committee chairmen and would seek their opinions.

"They're an important part of this and the president wants to hear from them," Gibbs said.

How to renege on the 'promises' made by G.W.B. & company {circa 2002 to rebuild and fortify this country and nothing was set up to do that...all of the money was sent into IRAQ} to all of the war lords and elected officials of Afghanistan and completely pull out of that continual 'festering boil' of a country and not loose face with the entire region and leave the country worse off then had we just stayed the hell out of there to start with :confused:

What human has the 'magical answer' for that dilemma...I'm sure the effervescent Rush Limbaugh will have the perfect solution...LMAO

But seriously...how do we NOT create another Vietnam?

Well, since you asked,We do not create another leftist president war defeat by winning this one! Now Obama is just to inexperienced , not up to the job. To be fair to our Nation he must resign! But that will never happen! So, we need to Impeached him through our House , convict him in our Senate. Install someone else , anyone else who LOVES AMERICA ,Has a strong Military MInd , a sense of HONOR and is NOT a WEAK KNEED LEFTIST! I know this will be a major challenge if we expect to find such a person in the democrat party. Do you realize a democrat President has NEVER won a MAJOR WAR for AMERICA SINCE Harry Truman! And Mr. Truman was a much different cut of a man than the SISSY failures provided by the Leftist since Truman! The road to save America is not easy ,we made our own bed as we sit back and allowed one who really never understood ,nor believed , the American dream. Obama never appreciated nor understood the GOD GIVEN talents and Wisdom given to our Founders by our creator.Our very weak president is lost in a stream of fascist propaganda and listening to unfriendly czars while he sinks deeper into failure. Meanwhile our PRECIOUS MILITARY continue to die needlessly as he looks to a silent "prompter" for strength! MY GOD , what have we done? Please through your GRACE and MERCY come to AMERICA'S DEFENSE, give our president some wisdom , some backbone , some sense of reality!
 
Basicly in order to win, we must step up tactics ( this may mean more troops) and fight better and smarter against the Taliban and Al Quida. I think first we need to start slow and take the time to realy secure a area...then move out..not just rush out all over at once and try to get it all done. We cant win that way, playing wack a mole over a hole nation.

next, we need to do more on the pakistan side as that is where the leadership is. We must keep playing the balance game of not tripping Pakistan by pushing the goverment to hard to fight the taliban ...but not letting them be to soft on them as well, At the same time know that they will attack the US for its actions ( even if they support them) for the public viewing. If we cant keep presure on the leaders, we can cut down there support in Afganistan by hurting there planning. At least to more preditor drones are being moved to Afganistan/pakistan...that should help.

3. Its going to take a while, Americans need to just accept it.

4. Start working directly to influence the people, the fact is the surge is not what changed Iraq....it was when the Sunni turned on the Terrorist from within and started to help the US....this type of turn is what will be needed as well.

Fact is Vietnam never did crap to the US, and there was no reason for the people to support the goverment we where backing....Afgainstan aka taliban and Al Quida have attacked the US and will do so again if given a chance...and we offer them a far better shot at a better goverment ( not Taliban rule) even if not a perfect Democracy

Do you have a safety latch on that 'air valve' on the back of your neck...are you equipped with a full time security guard so that no one is allowed to pop that valve and watch you twirl away into the wild blue yonder:confused:

Your ignorance and vitriol might play really well in that family tree {sans branches} but for the rest of America...you just come across as a horrorific sound of finger nails on the black board!!! OMG...go outside and play in the street!!!
 
To win means having victory, obama said he was not comfortable with victory.

He does not want to win but he does not want to get beat.

He should just pack it in, bring everyone home

Yes,president Loser, did say he was "not comfortable with the term victory",
He said the word victory reminded him of Japan's surrender to U.S. forces after Japan's DEFEAT. To president LOSER that was wrong, we should have not won that war! obama dances to a different drummer than all the other forty - three America Loving Presidents before him! What have WE done???
Personally, I think obama dislikes victory because all his life he has been a loser. In his youth he was a "drug head", taught by communist, instructed to hate America , hate its Constitution, its Values , and its belief in GOD. His adult life was filled with learning and teaching his leftist principles to others who thought as he does. ie, ACORN , where as a street thug he taught others how to threaten Banks and their employees if they did not grant bank loans to those who clearly could not afford the loan and had no means to pay the loan off.So using these leftist tactics and assisted by a sleeping electorate and a corrupt national news media he slithered into our Whitehouse and now you see the tremendous damage he has caused. It remains to be seen If America can survive this tragedy, it will take Divine intervention for America to remain intact in my opinion.

Gee.....nothin' like having a title that conflicts with the rest o' the article.

:rolleyes:
 

and of course in that context he is correct...your not going to "Win" Afganistan like you Toppled Hilter and it was just all done....or Japan will formaly surender...The taliban is not going to say you win, we give up....but we can win if we make it so they cant hit us again and lose there power in the area to train more to attack us. BUt its not like in history one will ever say ...we won on this date...X

I suppose the REAL question is... what ARE we doing in Afghanistan? Do you... really think it's because of the Taliban? Or might there be something more?
