White House: Exit plan from Afghanistan is key

President Obama is getting ready to make public his decision on Afghanistan.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday that the United States is in its ninth year of military involvement in Afghanistan and "we are not going to be there another eight or nine years."

Gibbs says Obama's recent meetings with military advisers have often focused on how to train Afghanistan's police and army so they can secure and hold areas taken from the Taliban after U.S. forces are gone.

On top of 15,000 Troops Obama has already quietly added he is planning on first sending in another 35,000 troops of the 40,000 that were requested. At some point, he will probably send in another 15,000 on the QT.. We currently have 39,000 troops in Afghanistan. The total footprint President Obama is intending on setting for us in Afghanistan will be 80,000 to 100,000 troops.

_________History______
In 1979 Afghanistan was invaded by the Soviet Union. In all, the initial Soviet force was around 1,800 tanks, 80,000 soldiers and 2,000 AFVs. In the second week alone, Soviet aircraft had made a total of 4,000 flights into Kabul. With the arrival of the two later divisions, the total Soviet force rose to over 100,000 personnel. The Soviets attempted to secure cities and strategic locations. But at that military level 80 percent of the Afghanistan remained outside of any government control. This was before Ronald Reagan looked at Afghanistan as a battle ground for the cold war and began to give support to those in Afghanistan who would later become our most deadly enemies.

By mid-1987 the Soviet Union announced it would start withdrawing its forces. Sibghatullah Mojaddedi was selected as the head of the Interim Islamic State of Afghanistan, in an attempt to reassert its legitimacy against the Moscow-sponsored Kabul regime. Mojaddedi, as head of the Interim Afghan Government, met with then Vice President of the United States George H. W. Bush, achieving a critical diplomatic victory for the Afghan resistance.

On January 13, 1991, 4 years after the Soviet Union began pulling troops out of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union would collapse under the weight of a crumbled economy and a military that was not being paid for its services.

We Americans have got to ask, what is the actual agenda of our being in Afghanistan. What are we accomplishing? Will our continued being in Afghanistan make us stronger or simply continue to shit money away that we can't afford. The weight of our Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has weakened us as a nation. Instead of making us safer at home, the wars have put us in greater danger.

Our domestic borders are not being protected. Immigration is not being properly policed. At this point, there are probably as many terrorist training camps across the Americas than there are in Afghanistan. The 9-11 Terrorist were in this country on abused student visa programs and at the same time President Obama is planning on increasing our footprint in Afghanistan he is working out deals to increase people entering the USA under the unpoliced student visa program.

The only agenda that can best be seen by increasing troops in Afghanistan is not to defeat Afghanistan, that can't be done, but rather to finish bankrupting America and throwing America into a state of anarchy.
