Obama Wants a 'Surge' in Afghanistan?

Edited on Mon Dec-29-08 08:57 AM by BeFree
From all accounts, it seems Obama is planning to 'Surge' more troops into Afghanistan.

Is he just selling out to the MIC - Military Industrial Complex, or does he honestly believe that doing more of the same will bring different results?

I wish he'd he see that Afghanistan is an historic defeater of Empire - and pull our troops out of there.
Depending more on diplomacy and something like the Peace Corps is a much better idea.
