Saw a great news show on PBS a few weeks ago about Afghanistan - and the political corruption, the way the Taliban pays off officials, offers a type of welfare to citizens, even rebuilds roads, utilities and the like.

As Kasz stated earlier, the gov't is unstable and the elections were rigged. For Obama to send thousands more troops into the region would be foolish.

He inherited this war from Dub. I also agree with Monty and say pull them out if Karzai doesn't stamp out most of the corruption in the gov't. However, I think the situation is far too gone for that to happen.

He inherited this war from Bush... but he also supported this war.

Had he been president at the time he too would of invaded... can't give him a pass for that.
