    Afghanistan and Iraq are both Vietnam's thanks to Bush

In Iraq and Afghanistan it is Horrific and Horrific and don't forget Pakistan! As you know, three helicopters just crashed in Afghanistan killing 14 Americans supposedly in no hostile accidents, during the night another 8 UN workers were killed. In Iraq the dual car bomb explosions that destroyed three Government Ministry buildings leaving so far 159 dead and more than 500 injured due to the Sunni Shiite civil war as Sunni's try to topple the Shiite led Government. Plus Pakistan!

Iraq Blast Toll Continues to Rise, Includes Children

Helicopter crashes kill 14 Americans in Afghanistan

8 US soldiers killed in Afghanistan We are now at another record high! Please read the story and watch the video!

Pakistan Battles Militants as Leaders Prepare to Meet

Obama is between a rock and a hard place in Afghanistan and Iraq compliments of Bush! I see nothing but disaster in Iraq. We knew this would be the case the day Bush ignored all good advice took his eye off Afghanistan so he could attack Iraq to get into the middle east as he spoke to God and God told him to straighten out the middle east. The civil war in Iraq will spread throughout the entire middle east before the entire world is engulfed as we knew would be the case from day one!

What do we do with the troops in Iraq? Another of my sons goes to Baghdad in November. If we add more troops in Afghanistan it is just more for the militants to kill. What can or will Obama do? Will any of this have anything to do with Obama's decision as to whether or not to add more troops in Afghanistan or how many to add?

I do not believe either incident will affect Obama's decision. Security and safety can not be and will never be at 100%. Accidents will continue to happen, insurgents will continue to kill! I do not think the troop withdrawal from Iraq will or even can be changed. I still can not forget that Bush wanted a permanent Korea style force in the middle of his Iraqi civil war and middle east breakdown and wonder what Obama is going to do? Please read on and watch the videos!

As soon as Bush illegally attacked Iraq he guaranteed a loss of both countries. All the troops in the world will change nothing besides creating more militants and getting more NATO troops killed. Before Bush attacked Iraq, Iraq and Afghanistan had nothing to do with each other. Today they are inextricably intertwined!

I understand the decision to add more troops may come before Afghanistan's runoff election and Friday Obama is going to have a meeting with the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff to listen to the input from the leaders of all branches before he makes a decision. At that point all fronts will have been heard from and I would expect to hear from Obama as to his decision shortly thereafter.

With increasing violence and a fraudulent Government in Afghanistan and violence erupting in Iraq prior to the elections as the Sunni's attempt to bring down the Shiite led Government we are stuck between a rock and a hard place with no good choices. Draw down in Iraq? Speed up the withdrawal? Pull out of Iraq all together? Stay in Afghanistan? Draw down? Add troops in the battle the Taliban call the End of Days War? I am afraid along with our and the worlds economic crisis Bush and the Republicans have succeeded in creating "Two Vietnams for Obama"

    You called it right when you said he is in the middle of a rock and hard place. This is a situation that does not seem to be getting better.

    Bush and his Iraq war were at record popularity lows in the polls. Obama was elected on the premise of shutting down the Iraq war. That's the promise he made and that's the promise he should keep. As for Afghanistan, he should follow Biden's advice.

    ladym I am not a pessimist but a realistic optimist but I have been saying for years this is barely getting started and it still is. I user to call this Bush's forever war and am totally convinced it will dwarf the hundred years war!

    Lima_Echo_India_Foxtrot I agree with you but I am afraid he is in a quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan of Bush's making of course. Everything is just devolving and I only see it getting worse.

    jmsjoin: another good piece!
    The whole Middle East thing makes me so violently ill. It could literally pull me into mental collapse if I let it. I can only carry on life knowing that this is a very obvious and definate sign in Revelations (a book in the Bible) that the world is coming to an end sooner than later. We will eventually be in a better place with no crazy terrorists. Not to get all melodramatic, but it honestly keeps me going to remind myself of this fact.
