More US troupes in Afghanistan is surely a necessary step that US authorities should instigate as soon as possible! These tropes are needed to accomplish extermination of few more millions of Afghan civil population, in addition to those 3.5 million that have already been murdered, which would then in return create required conditions for kicking in some democracy there. And a neo-liberal concept of economy too, together with Jew controlled banks that would be periodically bailouted by a new and democratic Afghan government. After all, isn't it that killing some more Muslims means less Muslims on the globe? Isn't that a main strategic goal of US government? Obviously it is, and so, go on Yanks - do put some more troupes therein. To my modest opinion, such an evil state like US has never existed on Earth so far.
