Reply #23: I trust Obama's judgment. [View All]

[Boudica the Lyoness]

Bush wanted to invade Iraq before 9/11. Remember the navy pilot that had been shot down during the first Gulf war and the Bush admin was claiming he was still alive and being held prisoner in Iraq? I thought the 'rescue' was how they were going to go about invading Iraq. Then 9/11 happened and the rest is history.

Remember the special ops in Afghanistan, even riding horses, going after the bad guys? I believe the special op guys (not just the mounted ones) stood a chance of catching Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. Or at least keeping them on the run. The country is so poor, I'm sure they could have bribed people, blended in and done whatever they do. Maybe it's Black Op's I'm thinking of. Anyway, history has proven that convoys of troops and all that, just doesn't work in the region. I don't see how an additional 30,000 troops will make any difference. Maybe, just maybe, they are not just regular 'walking around with a big target on them' troops. I really want to trust Obama on this one.

I do believe we have to keep after Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda because the Pakistani's have nukes also because of 9/11.
