Afghanistan could see 30,000 new US troops

Absolutely Conrad!
They have hit us with the old switcheroo!
If people go for this idea and don't wake up...
Well... you know they still won't see it!!!

Just stop the planet and let me get off!!! I would just love to be soooooooooooo OUTAHERE!!!!!!!!!

Afghanistan could see 30,000 new US troops

Here we go again!

Good ole security!

I am appauled at this! They have no intentions of bringing our soldiers home. It didn't work in Iraq and it's not going to work in Afganistan! Mullen clearly states that Afghanistan has never been run by a strong central government. Duh!!! And we have been there for how many years now???
I heard once, that the definition of STUPID is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results!

It didn't work, It won't work, it will only kill and mame more soldiers and it will not bring our boys home!!!

Please... pay attention to the last paragraph...
All of this is being done with only "moderate" goals.
As for the rest of the expectations of the U.S....
Bull$h*t!!! "while providing both material and economic security for its people." Since when does the U.S. know how to provide this to a country??? Look what these "wise men" have done to the U.S. and the crashing economy!!! As if they think they are the experts on economic security! Make me laugh!!! They are a bunch of idiots!!!!
This is like... soooooo unbelievable!!!
Do they really think the world is so blind as to believe their BS?

This just pisses me off BIG TIME!!!!

Afghanistan could see 30,000 new US troops

KABUL, Afghanistan - The top U.S. military officer said Saturday that the Pentagon could double the number of American forces in Afghanistan by next summer to 60,000 - the largest estimate of potential reinforcements ever publicly suggested.

Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that between 20,000 and 30,000 additional U.S. troops could be sent to Afghanistan to bolster the 31,000 already there.

Mullen said that increase would include combat forces but also aviation, medical and civilian affairs support troops.

"We certainly have enough forces to be successful in combat, but we haven't had enough forces to hold the territory that we clear," he said. Overall, there are more than 60,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan.

This year has been the deadliest for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion to oust the Taliban for hosting al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Suicide attacks and roadside bombs have become more dangerous, and Taliban fighters have infiltrated wide swaths of countryside and now roam in provinces on Kabul's doorstep.

"The Taliban and extremists are more sophisticated and effective," Mullen said. "They haven't won any battles but they certainly have increased the level of violence, and we're very focused on that. That's why the additional forces are so important, to be able to provide security for the Afghan people so these other areas can be developed."

U.S. officials already have plans to send four ground brigades and an aviation brigade to Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has approved the deployment of the aviation brigade, defense officials told The Associated Press. And 10th Mountain Division forces will deploy next month to two provinces that neighbor Kabul - Wardak and Logar, which have seen an influx of militants over the last year.

Mullen said that after the additional U.S. troops are added over the next eight months, only improvements in Afghanistan's governance and economic situation will affect the strength of the insurgency.

But the chairman conceded that the U.S. may have misjudged the central government's ability "to have the kind of impact that we wanted."

Afghanistan, Mullen said, has never been run by a strong central government, and the U.S. may look to communities and tribes in the country's provinces to take on a greater role in future strategy.

He called U.S. goals in Afghanistan "moderate," and said the long-term U.S. vision is for a country that can govern itself while respecting international law, while providing both material and economic security for its people.

Is online dating really real?
Or is it like having an imaginary lover... a fantasy in your own mind?

RE: How long have you been here?

I believe I have been here since August of 2006, perhaps before then, maybe sometime between April and August.
Been on the forums for over 2 years.

Stronger Than Before

Those are words worth confessing, Voyager,
But not the words to the song I have asked people to listen to.

Thanks for sharing those words of hope also!

Stronger Than Before

A tender touch to the heart is a healing balm.
Receiving the healing is your gift to yourself.
As for the waves...
Hang on and enjoy the ride!!!!!

RE: Things you love......

You live in the perfect place... on the way there!

The Great Smokey Mountains is the most beautiful place in the United States!!! Take a drive and you can find a serene, secluded, tranquil place, where beauty and divine spirit meet. I have spent much time doing just that, along the little river, outside of Townsend.

Awesome!

RE: poll: Deciding Supper...?

Ummm sour cream onto sounds great too!

Crackle Barrel is good also!

Stronger Than Before

Well, you got me on that one.

You can always use some headphones and speakers only cost $10 or way cheaper at yardsales. If you will pick up some speakers or borrow some from friends, the song will still be there for you.


Hey, it is worth the listen, I promise!

I love you sooooooo much!!!!!!

Stronger Than Before

Yes, and I understand you are just giving your opinion.

But what is your opinion based on?

Convince me that you are able to give a worthy opinion,
one that carries weight, if you yourself have not listened to the song.

I do not see how that would be possible.

If you heard the song, then gave an opinion, it would carry more weight and be justifiable.


Go ahead...
Go listen to it...
You know you want to!

Stronger Than Before

Now Shippy, you have no way of measuring the depth of the hurt another has experienced,
However, your perception that the song DID have a profound effect,
was a correct observation.


Perhaps you should hear the song for yourself before making such a judgement.

I can guarrantee you,

It is MORE than Just A Song!

RE: poll: Deciding Supper...?

Didn't think about putting it on Nachos

But I made a big pot of Chili, as the weather is so cold.

It is too hot to eat... think I will get some tostitos out and dip them in the chili... thanks for the idea and will you join me for a bowl of chili?

RE: whats that youre eating?

Rocky Road Ice Cream Cone!

RE: why is it hard for a guy with a disability too find someone

Love and finding the right one, takes time.

I have been on here for 2 years and I am very difficult to match up with anyone. I have been on other dating sites that will match you with someone. They send me a message stating, "Sorry, no match found".

I am extremely picky and most here know that my profile is quite unique, in who my mate must be.



However..........
I believe I have met him, here on CS, and he is everything I have been waiting for and so much more! And... He also has disabilities!
So.... Be encouraged... Good Things Come To Those Who Wait!

RE: It happend in Heaven

Easy to do when you just say, "Father forgive them, for they know not how to drive!"

Smile and press onward!

RE: "The Power of Laughter"

Last Friday, I was attacked by two boxers who live down the road. They pinned me up against the door of my house and bit me on the leg. My Pastor's wife answered to my call for help. I was telling her the story, opened the front door, to show her the glass door behind it, only to find both boxers sitting right in front of my door, staring at me!!! It scared the crap out of me and I was terrorized as I yelled, "The Boxers!!!", slammed the door shut, mumbling, "Just like Nightmare on elm street, everywhere I look, there are the Boxers!"
My dear comforter, the Pastor's wife, was laughing histerically with tears running down her face when she reached out for me, saying, "You should have seen the look on your face!!!"
We both laughed very hard and it sure did heal my physical as well as terroristic pain I had been experiencing!


Yes, laughter is the best medicine!!!

RE: I was thinking ..

I have not seen the movie Riya, but I am one who celebrates daily, throughout the year, what most leave for the Christmas season.
For me, Christmas is everyday.

We should love and be loving at all times and live every moment as if it were your last.

RE: Christmas prezzies to self.

He didn't give a clue, just said he would have a red bow...

RE: Is divine intervention like believing in GOD?

God is able to divinely intervein even when you do not believe in Him.

RE: Christmas prezzies to self.

I want a real man!

A present may arrive here just for me, on the 23rd,
with a big red bow on HIM!

Ain't nothen like the Real Thing baby!!

Stop The Auto Bailout!!!

Maybe they just built too many new cars!
Maybe people have come to their sences and decided they don't need a new car every 3 years.
True, some of those cars cost as much as a house and you can't live in the car! I don't buy new cars. I hardly buy anything new!
Just fix the old one, it cost less than making payments.

RE: If you could change the CS Name of the person above, what would it be?

Stop The Auto Bailout!!!

And I can care less about the American populace who were in the prison camps here in America, wondering how in the hell it happened cos they never saw it comming...
A vision I had in 1970. It was due to a socialistic takeover of our country. I saw it then as Communism.
To me, the Supernatural is my Reality. I trust it and what it shows me, more than any of what most refer to as reality.


Geeze people, please wake up and take a look around you!!!
