As President Obama plans to announce yet another increase in troop numbers in the Middle East quagmire known as Afghanistan, my opinion remains unchanged. The US needs to leave Afghanistan militarily, withdrawing all troops within six months or less. This decision by Obama is wrong and will come back to bite him horrendously.
Dozens of empires in the last several millennia have failed in their endeavors in Afghanistan. The British Empire to a certain extent and the USSR to a large extent were brought down by their prolonged ineffective military presence in Afghanistan. History will repeat itself yet again, this time for the US in increasing likelihood with this poor decision.
