I don't know...it seems like an odd surge strategy for a strike force team. Yes, strategy needed to change. I'm just not convinced this is the kind of change that was needed. I'm not a military strategist, I admit, but to me this smacks more of political smoke and mirrors than of victory strategy. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content...

That's a little disturbing if this report about the National Security Advisor's meeting with Commanders on the ground is true. I'm inclined to think it is. And that's something MFU should keep an eye on.

I agree. Since when have our troops not needed air cover??? I miss Pres Bush or even a John McCain would have had more knowledge and wisdom re the need for air cover.

Just keep them at Gitmo and call it a day. It just Obama sucking up to the Dem. Pride above NATIONAL SECURITY!!
Christopher

I agree; this whole "Left-Wing" attack on "Gitmo" is out of control. There are far worse tactics being employed by other countries than those accused by this administration. People are being tortured and murdered everyday in the "Middle East", Yet Obama makes it a priority to shut down a terrorist detention center, while touring Arab/Muslim ... Read Morecountries and never mentioning the word "Terrorist". He assumes that his role is to apologize for the U.S. after we have been attacked. Christians and Jews face daily threats living in that part of the world, while the Democrats worry about Muslim backlash. Really? Are they serious? All people and all cultures should be respected, but this administration has made the case for otherwise. Our "Military" puts their lives on the line every day for people to enjoy the freedoms they have, and to have security. No doubt we are to show love to all nations, but America first!!!!! Take back the "Millions" we give to the U.N. and create jobs!!!!!

Keep in mind, I am in no way defending the act of "Torture", but there is a difference between “Interrogation Tactics” versus "Torture". Ask other countries what they employ; you would be appalled and think differently.....
