Rifts in government costing lives in Afghanistan

Amid reports of Political in fighting and bad planning in both Iraq and Afghanistan. According to the Washington Post-More American and coalition troops died in Afghanistan last month than during any other month since the American-led invasion began in 2001, the latest evidence of a strengthening Taliban insurgency that has menaced NATO forces and reclaimed control over some southern and eastern parts of the country.

Civilian oversight is to make sure our Generals don't go insane and turn into monsters, it's not to put Politicians in charge of a war.

They are Generals for a lot of reasons and one is that they are learned in the arts of warfare.

It's pretty bad when you start a war based on what many consider to be a lie. Bad information at best.

It's another thing when ego and bungling send more of our children home in body bags.

We had a mission and that was to take out the Taliban for harboring an enemy called Al-Qaeda and kill our enemy and it's evil leader Osama bin Laden for the September 11, 2001 attacks.

I know that this is true because there is a written record of it. It's to bad we didn't let the guys we spend so much money on, do there jobs.
