Not sure if anyone wants to discuss our countries new committment in this area of the world, but thought would start a thread on it !

I thought the Presidents speech was too political however I agree with the actions for the most part. I dont understand the July 2011 date....not that I disagree but I just do not understand what he meant as that is a short 18 months from now and many of the increased troops will just be getting there or will only be there a very short time !

He talked about the great need to insure keeping nuclear weapons from the terrorists...something I have mentioned many times on here....and am happy about attention to that !
