[QUOTE="Hawaii50, post: 605065, member: 15838"] Are you for real. If the campaign was successful in 1/2009 and prior to 1/2009. Why are more troops being sent to that theater of war. Back then thos troops stationed in that theater were confined to the cities and districts in immediate vicinity of those cities . Thats why in the news now you keep hearing in the reinforcements soliders are pushing into Taliban strongholds in 2009.[url]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/5735038/UK-forces-push-deep-into-Taliban-territory-in-Afghanistan.html[/url] [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/17/AR2009071703352.html[/url] Why were'nt the troops who were in that theater prior to Obama sending in reinforcements not attacking taliban strongholds. It's because the troops footprint back then was small. Now that more troops are being sent over the footprint in expanding. Ever year the taliban/AQ regrouped and restrategize and start their spring/summer counter offensive. Now that footprint has expanded next years taliban/AQ offensive should be interesting. Did you go back and read our debate on the afghan war in 1/2009. You were so adamant about how sucessful the war was."I said no, if the commander at the time was asking for reinforcements that is not a sign of winning. Now they want more troops. The theaters commanders asked three times for more troops. updated 11:17 a.m. PT, Fri., March. 27, 2009 WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Friday ordered 4,000 more military troops into Afghanistan, vowing to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat” the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan.
