Obama's Sending Troops to Afghanistan by the Thousands

More than 21,000 already.According to MSNBC.com, President Obama's plan is to “disrupt, dismantle and defeat” the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan. Because it's not like our country is in debt or anything. There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect our country. On our own soil. But going to other countries and meddling is a little extreme. That's why many people voted for Obama in the first place; they thought he would pull troops out of Iraq.
What concerned me was that the article failed to explain or specify what the troops are really doing there.
Is sending troops to Afghanistan a good idea? How will it benefit us and what sacrifices are being made in the process?


Here is another article that is a more recent update.
