NATO's Afghanistan Strategy
The alliance chief Mr. Rasmussen I believe is right by siding with Gen Stanley A. McChrystal they both believe that there should not be an "Exit Strategy" in Afghanistan. While president Obama is leaning towards that strategy I believe it's not in the best interest of the war on terror. If the U.S. was to adopt the "Exit Strategy" an remove troops what is that saying to the nations we convinced to help us fight the war. Turning our backs now is not the solution we have to remain there till the Afghan goverment has full control. With all of the money already spent and the soldiers that lost thier lives for this war we must continue the fight against terror. If the U.S. pulled out the main an biggest supporter for Afghanistan would be lost. Even if it takes longer than expected the cost would be much greater if we pull out an lose all progress we have made. The terrorist would see a lack of commitment of the stratgy we have stated. If Afghanistan becomes stable then it would show that terrorist do not control what they think they can. We must continue the fight because Afghanistan is the main piece of the equation in the war on terror. Posted by Mr Rasmussen in The Washington Post.
