I heard President Obama’s speech tonight on reducing our military participation in Afghanistan. He has kept his word about a withdrawal of troops starting in July 2011. I was disappointed in him for sending a total of 60,000+ troops to that country. I believed that Joe Biden’s idea of drones, special operations and targeted strikes would better serve America’s interests.
I know Senator John McCain fears that we are becoming isolationist. His appraisal is incorrect. Not every situation demands a high level invasion. McCain suffers from his Vietnam experience.
The Afghanis and Pakistanis view America as an invading and occupying force. This is not the way to win friends and influence people.
America’s withdrawal is the right thing to do.
