[QUOTE="P M, post: 898648, member: 62814"] Yes, well said. I think our original efforts there were valid. That is where the bad guys were. I do not think our strategy has evolved properly though. I'm certainly not privy to discussions regarding the actual locations of Al Qaeda now, but it seems like Pakistan, Yemen and the Horn of Africa are more likely locations. And yes, Saudi Arabia. I just really don't see how our leadership (white house through DoD) plans to create a nation in a place where people are more aligned by tribes and groups than they are to the idea of a nation. And I really don't understand the plan of sending more now just to bring them back in 18 mos. I feel like there must be more to the story... Probably not. There are people that are going to hate us regardless of what we do. To expect otherwise is naive. It's up to us to ensure our security. We need to have a strategy to deal with these relatively small groups wherever they are to ensure they are not able to conduct major evolutions in the US. Don't see how a 100k troops in Afghanistan is accomplishing that much towards that end. [/QUOTE]
