This is my assigned blog topic, where I chose "The War in Afghanistan" out of four or so topics. First of all, I am to tell you WHY the U.S. went to war in Afghanistan. The main reason is that Osama Bin Laden admitted to being the criminal mastermind behind the 9/11 terrorist attack, so the U.S. military bombed areas of Afghanistan where he was thought to be located. They stayed in Afghanistan to take the Taliban, a radical Islamic group, which was at the time ruling the government, out of power. Enough about the Taliban, that's a seperate topic for my fellow classmates. :)
How is the war going, you may ask? Well, the Taliban is out of power, which was one of our primary goals. But I read somewhere (online? someone else's blog?) that since the U.S. armed forces are preoccupied with Iraq, the Taliban is building themselves back up. I question the validity of this statement though. We were also aimed at ending the Al-Qaeda terrorist group, headed by Osama Bin Laden, who has yet to be found.
This is Osama Bin Laden, Leader of Al-QaedaObama is not entirely for total invasion of Afghanistan. He has a new program to gauge the progression of the war, and makes clearer for himself to whether dispatch troops there or not. I've read through the supposed system and can't seem to grasp the idea of it. I will post the link at the bottom so if anyone wants to check it out. I think we should do what we can to not totally anger them, and perform another attack on the poor unsuspecting of the U.S...like sitting ducks, ripe for the picking. Oh, sorry, just getting into the mind of a terrorist. >: )Link to Obama's Gauging System....?
