Above is a link to a political cartoon depicting Obama using a U.S. Soldier as a shield against bullets. It appears Obama is pregnant with "Afghan War Plans". This is a visual representation of Obama's most recent plans to deploy 34,000 more troops into Afghanistan over the next nine months. The soldier is asking Obama to hurry up. This cartoon is stating that the deployment will not be effective because of the amount of time it will take for reinforcements to arrive. I have to agree. 34,000 troops over the next nine months is a bit more like giving the opposition more targets than it is an effective war plan. Obviously a "troop surge" is out of the question because Obama does not have the vote of the people or the resources for such a thing but to me the proposed plan is a very weak one.

Yeah i agree that 34000 troops in 9 months is way too much and isnt a good war plan
ReplyDeleteWell actually. It's not that. It's too many troops but not enough to be effective in any way. Because 34000 divided by 9 is roughly 4,000 a month. Spread that number around afghanistan and I dont really think we'd be looking at alot of difference
