What Is Your Opinion On Afghanistan?

Vern Buchanan

For the past few weeks, President Obama has been deliberating with his top advisers about whether or not to send in the 40,000 additional troops that Afghanistan’s top US commander General McChrystal has requested.

Where do you stand on the issue?  I have added a poll to our website today for you to cast your vote and to send me a comment about the issue.  We read all of the comments so I hope you will participate.

I am including a links below to a list of background reading on the issue in case you haven’t been following the debate.

Thanks for your time and I am looking forward to reading your thoughts on the issue.

    I think we should listen to Gen. McCrystal and trust his judgment rather than the bureaucrats in Washington.

    We passed up our best chance to end this by pulling out to quick the first time. We lost years of establishing people within there ranks.
    At this point we need to bring the CIA back into the picture for information. We need to get a President that is going to over and over demonstrate weakness. I like the Pres don't see anymore of our brave young men and women come home in boxes. What should weigh on the Pres is those coming home because we didn't give them the back-up and support they were promised. If 40K personal is needed to win then send 60K personal. Lets get the job done and bring our brave youth home alive.
