"Pressure Increases on Obama Over Afghanistan"

Should more troops be committed to Afghanistan? This is the question that is putting so much pressure on President Obama. Obama is scheduled to discuss Afghanistan strategy with his national security team in the next couple of days. General Stanley McChrystal said that the situation in Afghanistan is not getting any better. General McChrystal is planing to send his request for more resources to help fight off the insurgents, in Afghanistan, soon. McChrystal said that without more troops then this 8 year war will most likely end in failure. The administrators and other high ranking officials, as well as the American people are split 50-50 on what to do in the current situation. Zalmay Khalilzad, the former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, said that it is important for Afghan forces to step it up and take a much faster approach to what has been done so far.
In my opinion I feel that more troops should be sent over to Afghanistan. The more troops we send the better equipped we would be to finish out this war. Wars cost money, and we have spent a lot of money on this war. If we were to lose this war all that money would be wasted. If troops are need then troops should be sent over.
