Afghanistan Today: The GWOT Hotspot-Aug. 18, 2008-Tues.

Some are saying former Gen. Jim Jones, national security adviser to Pres. Obama should resign, and others such as writer Ralph Peters, a former military officer himself call Afghanistan,”The Wrong War.”

The U.S. has to decide: Are we coming or are we going? If we are coming to Afghanistan we need to come full force with victory in mind. If we are going, we should pack up and leave and take our money with us.
