More troops, Hopeful less Civilian Casualties

HE WASN'T LYING! POLITICIAN BARACK OBAMA WAS NOT LYING.

The White House confirmed that the President has approved the deployment of an extra 17,000 troops for Afghanistan after a request from U.S. secretary of defense, Robert Gates.

The president is aware that this process took a little longer than expected, but he said that the original strategy presented by the U.S. senior military leadership was dissatisfying and had asked them to come up with a better strategy to put use of the additional troops.

During Bush's presidency, tension and mistrust arose between the U.S. and Afghanistan after U.S. military operations led to a high number of civilian casualties - over 2100 - a 40 percent rise of those killed just in the past year.

Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai addressed the issue of civilians casualties before and demanded President Obama that "there will be no civilian casualties in Afghanistan. We cannot win the war on terrorism with air-strikes." After Karzai congratulated Barack Obama and the Americans on the "courage" of electing him.

Obama has consistently showed concerns of Afghanistan's security and the urgency of winning the war on terrorism for the sake of the WORLD and believes that with new strategies there will be less civilian casualties in Afghanistan and that it is a winnable war. Regardless of his concerns, the president hopes that the Afghan government will also put accountable efforts on the war on terror.

Less than a month in office, and we are witnessing considerable actions. Lets hope that we will hear UN officials saying next year that Afghanistan lost NO CIVILIAN CASUALTIES in comparison to the recent UN rating of "Worse Year" for Afghan deaths. 

President Obama is indeed different than President Bush with his policies. Obama actually believes that diplomacy is needed alongside weapons if we want to win this war. Yes, Obama wants to use diplomatic strategies with Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

With a recent photo portraying former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Mullah Zaif in Kabul, Afghanistan using an IPHONE, I am assuming they might understand what diplomatic matters means... after all, they did modernize their technologies to "better communicate".. or PLOT ATTACKS! so maybe they have also        modernized their diplomatic ways.. or at least, the president hopes        so. 

How welcoming do you think the Taliban are of Barack Obama??? Watch Below.
