FIRST LOOK AT WHAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL ANNOUNCE TONIGHT ABOUT TROOP DEPLOYMENT TO AFGHANISTAN
This video is a preview of what President Obama is going to say tonight when he addresses the nation from West Point on his final decision on how many troops he will be sending to Afghanistan.
I'm going to insert a personal opinion.
I was in the Army Combat Engineers during the Korean War and not one minute of my sixteen weeks of basic training was spent on how we could convert the North Koreans to our way of thinking.
On the contrary, we were trained to KILL or capture the North Koreans not try to educate them on democracy or help them rebuild their homes after we had destroyed them.
In fact, the same went for the Marines and all the various branches of the U.S. Army such as the Airborne, Armored and Infantry.
How the hell are our troops supposed to communicate with the Afghan people when it has been reported 85% of the Afghanistan people are illiterate?
So the bottom line is this.
You don't send in combat-trained troops to act as civics teachers anymore than you would send in a baseball team to play offense in a football game.
HERE IS A VIDEO OF PRESIDENT OBAMA TALKING ABOUT HIS PLANS FOR AFGHANISTAN:

PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS LOST HIS MIND. HERE IS A VIDEO SHOWING HOW AMERICAN PLANES KILLED 147 AFGHANISTAN CITIZENS
According to Afghanistan officials, 147 people have been killed when U.S. war planes bombed a village in Western Afghanistan after faulty intelligence claimed the village was home to top leaders of the Taliban.
In this video you see the Afghanistan residents of the small town crying and complaining about how U.S. troops and planes killed many of their relatives.
President Obama is going on TV Tuesday night to announce he is sending an additonal 35,000 troops to Afghanistan.
The Afghanistan war willl now be known officially as "OBAMA'S WAR."

U.S. FORCES ENGAGE IN INTENSE FIREFIGHT IN KORENGAL VALLEY AFGHANISTAN
This video will give you an idea of what the 30,000 plus U.S. troops will be doing after President Obama deploys them to Afghanistan.
The terrain and conditions in the mountains of Afghanistan are brutal and unforgiving.
Gen. Stanley MacChrystal, head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, claims he has a plan to "win the hearts of minds" of the Afghanistan people, but does he really or is he like every other General who knows only war and has made a living off of war.
Time will tell, but in the meantime you can expect to hear about more U.S. casualties coming out of Afghanistan because the Taliban are large in numbers and know the land like the back of your hand.

THE VICTIMS OF WAR--KABUL AFGHANISTAN EMERGENCY ROOM
This video should be seen by everyone, but experience has taught this blogger that very few people want to know the truth about the war in Afghanistan and how President Obama has plans to escalate our footprint in Afghanistan with the addition of 35,000 more U.S. troops.
This video was made in the Emergency Room of a Kabul, Afghanistan hospital and shows the innocent victims of what is now "Obama's war," young children and some adults who have been seriously wounded by American troops and unmanned U.S. Drone bombers.

THESE ARE THE INNOCENT CHILDREN WE ARE KILLING AND INJURING IN "OBAMA'S WAR--THE AFGHANISTAN WAR"
Not many people will be able to stomach this video because it shows graphic images of Afghanistan children horribly maimed by U.S. troops and our so-called strategic bombing which is a total joke.
Strategic bombing is to bombing what military music is to music.
It is an oxymoron to strategic and bombing in the same sentence.

GORY VIDEO SHOWING HORRIBLY WOUNDED AFGHAN CHILDREN WHO ARE VICTIM'S OF OBAMA'S WAR
The war in Afghanistan will officially become "Obama's war" after he announces he will be sending upwards of 35,000 more troops to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban in a Tuesday night address to the nation from West Point.
This gory and gruesome video shows seriously wounded Afghan children who are the result of what the U.S. military calls "collateral damage."
Keep this in mind.
There is no such thing as strategic or precise bombing when you are using unmanned Drone aircraft who drop their payload on what are supposed to be Taliban hideouts and instead turnout to be Afghan homes.

KABUL -- Days after President Obama outlines his new war strategy in a speech Tuesday, as many as 9,000 Marines will begin deploying to southern Afghanistan to renew an assault on a Taliban stronghold that stalled earlier this year amid a troop shortage and political pressure from the Afghan government, senior U.S. officials said.

DON'T BELIEVE A SINGLE RETIRED MILITARY PERSON APPEARING ON TV BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE MAKING A FINANCIAL KILLING ON THE WARS
All three cable news outlets, CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS, use retired military people as so-called military experts, but in truth ALL of them are on the payroll of one of the many big military industrial firms who provide military hardware for our military in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In Media Matters, the latest fraud is exposed. It is former Gen. Bernie McAffrey, who appears regularly on MSNBC but neither MSNBC or McAffrey ever admit he is on the board of directors of Dyno Corp who provide military hardware to our military.
MSNBC is not alone in lying to the American public about the retired military people who regularly appear on their shows as "military analysts." CNN and FOX NEWS also use retired military people as so-called "military experts," but in reality the ONLY thing they are an expert on is how to make money off war by serving on the board of directors of firms who manufacture war products for the the military.
