Among the alternatives being presented to Mr. Obama is Mr. Biden’s suggestion to revamp the strategy altogether. Instead of increasing troops, officials said, Mr. Biden proposed scaling back the overall American military presence. Rather than trying to protect the Afghan population from the Taliban, American forces would concentrate on strikes against Qaeda cells, primarily in Pakistan, using special forces, Predator missile attacks and other surgical tactics.
The Americans would accelerate training of Afghan forces and provide support as they took the lead against the Taliban. But the emphasis would shift to Pakistan. Mr. Biden has often said that the United States spends something like $30 in Afghanistan for every $1 in Pakistan, even though in his view the main threat to American national security interests is in Pakistan.

I have to say Hilary hit it on the head. Its the same concept of pulling out of the war in general and all those fucking bumper stickers “BRING OUR TROOPS HOME”. GUESS FUCKING WHAT?! We cant, that would be the stupidest thing we could possibly do because every middle eastern country would attack the US, same as pulling out of afghan to concentrate on pakistan. If we are shipping out another 21,000 troops to Pakistan, keep them dealing with the Taliban as well because those mothaaafuckers be crazy. Taliban if anyone recalls worked with Osama. I respect our troops i do, im proud to be an American i support the war, Im happy to see i live in a country that doesn’t take any shit and we do what we got to do. no? so for me to sit here and cry about it and hate on bush back a couple years prior and blame him for sending everyone’s dad, brother, uncles, whatever it is. One it is what we have to do, Two you signed up for it.— whether it was for your patriotism or you had no direction in life and decided to join the military. you chose this. i could get really nasty right now but im not. so why doesn’t all the idiot cry babies in the world chill the fuck out and support our troops and our country and try to understand that this has been going on for 8 years and wont be ending any time soon. whether its president w. bush, obama, hilary or ali cinelli yo. we will be posted up for a HOT MINUTE.
