I really want to know what the logic is behind the surge mentality of sending more troops to end a war. Most experts on the Middle East and Afghanistan will tell you that sending more troops is only going to make the situation in Afghanistan worse.

The people need to be out on the streets to tell our President and his administration and Congress, this is not a sensible strategy for the Afghan people or the American people or the soldiers serving in Afghanistan or their families.

8. Taliban can't be found from overhead.

Everyone of age has a gun, there seems to be plenty of ammunition and they're not afraid to die. Put enough bodies and recon by fire.
