The reason Obama has procrastinated as to the finalizing of his policy in Afghanistan,was he hoped that all the appeasing and apologizing to the different players would have gained him support, allowing him have leverage with Iran and consequently with the Taliban.The press release from the Whitehouse on the optimism of an agreement with Russia as to sanctions against Iran has been rejected by the Russians ,like many have said ,they have just playing Obama. RUSSIA HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT THAT THEY AGREE THAT THERE MIGHT HAVE TO, AT SOME TIME IMPOSE SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN ,BUT THIS MIGHT NOT BE THAT TIME!So inconclusion it looks like the only reward that Obama has received from all his servitude at the UN conference has been his nobel peace prize.

I was always confused on why we even started fighting the Taliban…the reason for going to Afghanistan initially, was to find the leader of the group that flew jets into the towers of the world trade center. The Taliban had nothing to do with that. al Qaeda should have been the only target. Being mired down in a war by an 2nd enemy that we brought in was not wise. We even had a historical record showing what happened when Russia attempted a similar thing.

yeah the reason the taliban has the initive is becouse we havn’t launched any offensive operations against them. The pakastanis see us as hypocrits for begging them to kill the tallies well not doing anything ourselves. We are in aphganistan for geopolitics. If we wern’t we could have easilily finsihed the taliban in a couple months.
