The War in Afghanistan
A New Strategy
This week President Obama announced his new strategy for fighting the war in Afghanistan. Since then there has been no shortage of political commentary on the subject. I have chosen three articles, all with very different points of view for you to read.
The first article by Bob Herbert (A Tragic Mistake) argues that President Obama's plan is a mistake. The next article by Charles Krauthammer(Uncertain Trumpet) is also critical of the President's plan, but for a completely different reason. The last article (Surge, Then Leave) by David Ignatius is in favor of the President's strategy.

Look at all three articles and answer the questions on your current events worksheet, then post your own opinion of the President's plan in the comments section.
i think that oboma choice 2 send mroe troops over is is a not a very good choice because that will worrie more americans.
ReplyDeletei believe that Obama should keep the marines and soldiers over in the war for just a little bit longer, and then listen to what they thinks gonna happen, Because they are the only one who has been in the actaul heat of the battle up against the lines of the enemies.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I agree/ dissagree with his plan. To me this still seems like he is trying to play both sides of the argument. I believe that this is a bad Idea, he needs to pick a side and be fully commited to it. Ex. If he is against the war we need to pull out all together.or if hes for the war he needs to fully commit and Fight to win and or over exceed his goals of returnig the Afgan. Gov. into a state of control.
