Feinstein wants more Troops

In a surprising act Senator Dianne Feinstein(D-Ca) has stated that she supports an increase in the troop levels in Afghanistan. Many Congressional Democrats disagree with Senator Feinstein, and honestly I'm surprised by Feinstein's position.

Feinstein is in a position to be privy to more information than most members of Congress, but she is not in line with many administration officials. Vice President Joe Biden is strongly opposed to troop increases, as are many administration "Czars". The President himself, however, has not announced his position, even though he's had weeks to think it over.

I'm not saying that President Obama doesn't have the right to think things over, but this is not something that can be drawn-out. The longer we wait, the worse the situation gets and the more troops we lose. It is my opinion that the Generals on the ground should be trusted, they earned their position through blood and sweat not votes, and I have faith in their experience.

Let's all hope that General McChrystal and President Obama make the right decision in conjunction with each other, because we can't afford to lose in the long run. It's that simple.
