Obama: Situation in Afghanistan is 'precarious and urgent'
In his first interview with an American TV network since landing in Afghanistan yesterday, Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama said the "situation is precarious and urgent here" and that Afghanistan must become the "central front in our battle against terrorism."
On CBS' Face the Nation this morning, Obama also told correspondent Lara Logan that because Afghanistan has again become a place where terrorists are planning attacks and where the drug trade is giving them the money to carry such attacks out, he believes -- as he has been saying for more than a year -- that an additional two brigades, at least, of U.S. troops are needed in the country.
On the issue of terrorist training camps in neighboring Pakistan, Obama said "we'd like to see the Pakistani government take out those training camps." He said the U.S. has made a "strategic error" by "taking its eye" off Afghanistan and the largely lawless border areas between that nation and Pakistan.
"Mission accomplished" in Afghanistan, Obama said, would be a stable nation and a country where terrorists are not able to plan attacks.
Ignorant PUB Prig's just don't get it though... Total deplorable neglect is not excusable, just asinine. |

well there you have it. obama has tipped his hand and exposed himself as the shill for world banksters, halliburton and kbr that those of us who have been paying attention have suspected him of being all along. two more brigades to afghanistan does not sound like bring the troops home and end the madness of corporate profiteering at all. not at all. |

We could terminate the contracts, then hire their freshly unemployed. Turn about is fair play. |

And this is a surprise because why??? It seems to me that now that people are sufficiently sick of hearing all the excuses about why we should stay in Iraq when there isn't a leg left to stand on, they have to shift the focus back to Afghanistan. And I quite agree that Obama is in the big business pockets just the same as all the rest of the "name brand" politicians. |
