Is Obama too focused on Afganistan?

Obama's new Afganistan supplement is estimated to cost $30 billion a year and will bring the total number of soilders in Afghanistan to about 100,000. The new strategy is designed to finally get rid of al Qaeda in Afghanistan and help the Afghan government with theTaliban insurgency. The Taliban said " The latest strategy will be a "fiasco" that will lead only to more dead Americans...Throughout the history of Afghanistan the Afghans have not been subject of deceit, ploys, material power, troop reinforcement and military might of the foreigners. Therefore, the reinforcement of the American troops and other tactics will not have impact on the status quo. But the reinforcement will provide better opportunity for the mujahedeen to launch offensives." This chilling quote released thurday makes many wonder if Obama is really doing the right thing by sending more men and women overseas. The Senate is wondering if Obama is focusing too much on Afganistan and not enough on more prevelent coutries like Packistan. Many also belive the 2011 pullout is a bad idea because that just gives the al Qaeda/ Taiban a set date to plan attacks. Feingold said "I do not support the decision to prolong and expand a risky and unsustainable strategy in the region," refering to the requested reienforcement of troups.
Mullen rebuffed by asserting it is "not arbitrary at all." By July of 2011, he pointed out, "and we will have a clear indication (by that point) which way this is going."
