Nato is in Afghanistan for the long haul, says Anders Fogh Rasmussen

NATO leader agrees war strategy should be reviewed Obama in New Round of Meetings on Afghanistan

Obama is having more meetings and is leaning towards adding more men. Enough meetings already! I agree with Biden! I thought we weren't in the business of Nation building? Afghanistan does not want a centralized Government they as you know are tribal and do not want one.

Funny but Pakistan is largely tribal but they want a central Government and freedom from the Taliban to continue to have their tribal customs and freedoms and are fighting for it! NATO go home! Scale back! Get out! We keep hearing how tough Afghani's are. Prove it!

We keep hearing how we must get to Taliban moderates and Afghan moderates well get with it do it now and let them fight for their country. Moderate tribesmen in parts of militant-ravaged north-west Pakistan are challenging Taliban extremists threatening to overrun their area, in what will develop into a mass resistance movement.That is what Afghanistan must do!

America and NATO must get out! We have been there over 8 years, twice as long as WW2! If Afghanistan wanted freedom from the Taliban they would already be trained and fighting for it instead of just letting themselves be killed as pawns. Get rid of corrupt Karzai!

Why are the Afghan's not forming Lashkar's and killing the Taliban if they want their freedom from them? * Have a fair election, get rid of Karzai,Feed and supply Afghan's to fight if they want their freedom as Pakistan is and get out! That is the only answer not less or more troops.

Our soldiers did their job leave now with heads held high not our tails between our legs like in Saigon! Give food and supplies to the Afghans and if they want their freedom they will fight for it like the Pakistani tribes are. We should be helping Pakistan who has proved they want their freedom from Taliban and Sharia law. Don't add more troops this is Afghanistan graveyard of Nations. Cheat history get out now!

    It would be good if they were to stand up and fight the Taliban, the Taliban has been shown to be a enemy to most of the world. But even worse to the countries close to them.

    I waited a couple days to reply so my mailbox wouldn't be flooded.

    I still think tribalism is the key to Afghanistan. If we arm, train, and support tribal leaders who oppose Al Queda, instead of pouring lives and treasure into the Karzai sinkhole, we can protect our national security more effectively, less expensively, and using fewer troops.
