that "any plan to boost troop levels in Afghanistan could lead to 'bitterness and pain.'"

It wouldn't be the first time escalating a guerrilla war produced bitterness and pain for those responsible for the escalation.

In reading the article, I see a call to attack American soldiers here on home ground. That could spark a clusterfuck. Are we going to round up all our homegrown muslims and put them in internment camps? Spark a religious war on home soil?

The title is misleading, though. I don't see any threat against Obama. The threats are against our citizens.

And, if American muslims heed this call, we could be in a perpetual state of religious civil war.

Escalating the war in Afghanistan will not provide a victory over the taliban. It WILL create more conflict and, yes, more bitterness and pain, at home.
