4,000 troops is nothing. Obama sent 30,000 in '09. This is not some giant expansion of the war effort.
2009 was Dumber yes. 4000 today is still stupid

Can somebody please tell me what the mission is and what criteria defines the missions end

Note I'm not asking for dates. I'm asking for criteria.

If leaders cannot Define what success looks like then they shouldn't put troops In Harm's Way. And success simply must have an end. If success is merely a state of play That Never Ends that isn't success at all

Let's file this under the list of things that wouldn't have happened under President Paul.

Why do you want to send more kids to die in a useless endeavor?

Never thought I'd agree with Toddy.

I don't like it.

I think the point is why is 4,000 increase even announced?
Because you tell them you are sending 4000 as you actually pull out. Trump lamb-blasted the last idiot in chief because he signaled all his moves. He's smarter than that.

Trump's fricking with y'all now.
