President Obama has conducted a final meeting on his military review for Afghanistan, administration officials said, and he is planning to explain his decision in an address to the nation next Tuesday.
“After completing a rigorous final meeting, President Obama has the information he wants and needs to make his decision, and he will announce that decision within days,” Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said Tuesday morning.
[...]
The conversation settled around sending about 30,000 more American troops, two officials said, the first of which would deploy early next year to be in place in southern or eastern Afghanistan by the spring. The troop reinforcements would most likely be sent in waves, according to an official speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss war strategy.
The entire Afghanistan situation is a lose-lose situation for Obama. History as well as the last eight years tells us that this war is almost impossible to win. Yet pulling out leaves Afghans in the hands of the Taliban. As well it would weaken the president’s national security credentials and leave him open to claims that he is not fighting the war on terror.
Sending in more troops will only extend the war and put more American soldiers in harms way. There is no immediate clear way out of this disastrous war and there probably never will be.

More than soldiers will die in strife,
War engulfs many in its breadth.
Pregnancy gives the gift of life
Prepares us all for our first breath
But for the Afghanistan wife
It’s the number one cause of death.
I will never understand why we did not force diplomatic cooperation with Paskistani troops and invade the Afghan/Pakistani border. Taliban pass freely and whenever they want and we could get them all if we had the cooperation of Pakistan. I truly believe OSAMA is in those mountains and having a strategic and surprise attack in there could get rid of a lot of cowards called Taliban or even OSAMA himself.
Diplomacy has not worked and Pakistan has never made a decent effort to stop the Taliban. It is time for our foreign policy to address the mountaineers of Pakistan. The corrupt Afghan governemnt makes it even more difficult for having our young men die. We attack or we get out. If we attack,it should be done before the President’s message on Tuesday night
The administration needs to come up with a solution for Afghanistan that doesn’t involve war, because it is not a solution.
