Obama to Unveil Plan to Add Troops in Afghanistan

War-weary Americans will support more fighting in Afghanistan once they understand the perils of losing, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday, announcing he was ready to spell out war plans virtually sure to include tens of thousands more U.S. troops.

He is expected to make his case to the nation in a speech next Tuesday night, even as the military completes plans to begin sending in reinforcements in the spring.

Eight years after the Sept. 11 attacks led the U.S. into Afghanistan, Obama said it is still in America’s vital national interest to “dismantle and destroy” al-Qaida terrorists and extremist allies. “I intend to finish the job,” he said.

Obama said he would announce after Thanksgiving his decision on additional troops, and military, congressional and other sources said the occasion would be a Tuesday night televised speech laying out his plans for expanding the Afghan conflict — and then ultimately ending America’s military role.

    This war weary American won't give a shit what Obama has to say and firmly believes al-Qaida has already won both wars because you're going to have generations of Muslims in those countries who will never recover from the trauma of war.

    Also, I don't care because American leaders hand-picked some of the most corrupt pieces of shit possible in Afghanistan to work with and establish in power following the invasion.
