Obama overlooks past on Afghan war

Sen. Barack Obama says we have to send more troops into Afghanistan, immediately.

If my memory serves me, wasn’t Afghanistan Russia’s Vietnam?

Didn’t the Afghan war just about bankrupt Russia? Didn’t the Russians leave in disgrace, just as we had to leave Vietnam?

Why do our great leaders think we will do any better?

Our troops and equipment are pretty well worn out from the oil war in Iraq.

If you don’t learn from history, you make the same mistakes, over and over.
