Comments on: Petraeus: Iraq-Style Surge Wouldn’t Work In Afghanistan http://patdollard.com/2009/03/petraeus-iraq-style-surge-wouldnt-work-in-afghanistan/ The War Starts Here Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: displaced chedhead http://patdollard.com/2009/03/petraeus-iraq-style-surge-wouldnt-work-in-afghanistan/#comment-408967 displaced chedhead Sun, 15 Mar 2009 05:12:56 +0000 http://patdollard.com/?p=63962#comment-408967 Read between the lines and it's pretty clear we had control of the situation early but let it slip, by taking but not holding territory. That territory has now been lost. A slow build up is needed. A slow build up gives you the resources to assuage the populace but not in a conqueror mode. Totally different model than Iraq. The American Idol president we have now has no concept of anything but re-election. STFU Obama and let the people in this country who actually work for a living do their job. Paula and Randy may have gotten you elected but you better listen to our best and brightest if you want to stop pimping off Bush's achievements and get some of your own.

It makes no military sense to flood Afghanistan but it sounds good to the TV morons. That is what happens when politicans make military decisions.
