The Sad Reality Of The Occupation Of Afghanistan

Obama propped himself up in the beginning as the anti-war Democrat candidate and misled the American people that believed they were voting against everything that the Bush years were about.

Unable to keep the full deception going forever, Obama began campaigning that "there is no military solution in Iraq" and played down his plan to escalate the war in Afghanistan once once he found his base.

Now...top government officials from the United States and other coalition members, such as Britain as well as other top NATO officers are admitting that the commitment Obama made in Afghanistan will be a long one.

The man who campaigned on being the anti-Bush will now carry out a longer and more expensive war than Bush himself.
