President Obama's plan for increasing troops in Afghanistan is in the United States' best interest

Now to clarify i will be going over actual troops being deployed, case constructive CLARIFICATION President Obama, White House Press Release, December 1, 2009, . http://www.whitehouse.gov...- afghanistan-and-pakistan "We will meet these objectives in three ways. First, we will pursue a military strategy that will break the Taliban's momentum and increase Afghanistan's capacity over the next 18 months. The 30,000 additional troops that I'm announcing tonight will deploy in the first part of 2010 -- the fastest possible pace -- so that they can target the insurgency and secure key population centers. They'll increase our ability to train competent Afghan security forces, and to partner with them so that more Afghans can get into the fight. And they will help create the conditions for the United States to transfer responsibility to the Afghans. " so from this we can see that we will be deploying 30,000 troops along with at least 10,000 NATO troops ----CASE---- 1) Increasing troops will give needed reinforcements to help stabilize the country of Afghanistan. According to the Boston Globe, August 26, 2009 due to years of neglect the United States is basically "starting over' in its battle against the radical Taliban movement and its Al Qaeda allies. Acknowledging that public support for the war is waning, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that the US operation needs "12 to 18 months to turn this thing around. Agence France Presse, September 8, 2009, p. online The United States has a new Afghan war strategy that will "turn the tide" against the Taliban, but requires more troops to join the eight-year-old conflict, a US senator said Tuesday. "I feel very strongly, having just been there in August, that we see now how to turn the tide in our favor, and in the favor of the Afghan people, and against the Taliban," said independent Senator Joseph Lieberman. "That requires more personnel -- military and civilian -- and the sooner we do it, the sooner the Afghans will be able to take over themselves and Americans and our allies will come home," he told reporters. What this point is saying is when we send in the extra 30,000 troops to support the already existing ones in Afghanistan it will allow us to turn the country around and get to the point where we can begin to pull out our troops out of Afghanistan and there for leave the country in a better state as it was then. 2)Afghanistan being stabilized will be key to national security of the united states and to stop a nuclear Pakistan from being a major threat. If we look into Obama's speech you will see that he says this Remarks of President Barack, Obama December 1, 2009, "The people and governments of both Afghanistan and Pakistan are endangered. And the stakes are even higher within a nuclear-armed Pakistan, because we know that al Qaeda and other extremists seek nuclear weapons, and we have every reason to believe that they would use them. These facts compel us to act along with our friends and allies. Our overarching goal remains the same: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and to prevent its capacity to threaten America and our allies in the future. To meet that goal, we will pursue the following objectives within Afghanistan. We must deny al Qaeda a safe-haven. We must reverse the Taliban's momentum and deny it the ability to overthrow the government. And we must strengthen the capacity of Afghanistan's Security Forces and government, so that they can take lead responsibility for Afghanistan's future. "Based on this we can see that it is in our intention to Deny safe havens of al Qaeda from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Lisa Curtis is Senior Research Fellow for South Asia in the Asian Studies Center at The Heritage Foundation. October 26, 2006Stability in Afghanistan and in South Asia more generally is closely linked to the policies that Islamï¿½abad pursues over the next few years, including actions that limit the Taliban's ability to operate on Pakistani soil, peace efforts with neighboring India, exploration of trade and investment opportunities in the region, and a return to democratic politics. The U. S. needs to pursue these objectives with equal vigor to help Pakistan address the roots of violent extremism and begin to contribute to greater stabilï¿½ity and peace in the region and beyond. Hilary Clinton December 2nd, 2009 "It is also in Pakistan where, after all, they (Al Qaeda terrorists) have found safe haven and where we have a nuclear-armed country facing increasing challenges to its writ of authority," "We have made a commitment to provide more assistance to Pakistan that is going to be accountable and transparent, but which we hope sends a message to the people of Pakistan that there is a better future," Commenting on President Obama's revamped Afghan strategy, the top US official said the new policy demonstrated that the US is committed to take on the continuing threat from not only those who want to destroy Afghanistan, but Pakistan also. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, September 6, 2009, p. C1 "Our presence in Afghanistan is, in part, a holding action while we seek to stabilize Pakistan and persuade its military to focus more on fighting internal jihadist than on archenemy India. Were Afghanistan to revert to Taliban control, the blowback would be felt inside Pakistan, where terrorists would be immeasurably strengthened. " 3) Sending reinforcements would help train civilians of Afghanistan to learn to defend their country on their own and stabilize their country without the help of the United States. ACCORDING TO Jackie Northam, who is embedded with a U. S. Special Forces unit AUGUST 11 2008 U. S. Special Forces in Afghanistan are involved in an ambitious project to turn thousands of Afghan soldiers into commandos. The effort to create an elite fighting force is part of the broader counterinsurgency strategy that U. S. military officials say is key in helping stabilize Afghanistan. Special Forces, which have been constantly rotating through Afghanistan since they helped overthrow the Taliban in 2001, launched the commando program in the early spring of 2007. By Keith Knutson December 6, 2009 lacrossetribune. com The Afghan army will be taking the lead in some of the country's prprovinces by the end of 2010. Effective police training will also be in place. Michigan's U. S. Senator Carl Levin points out there are plenty of young Afghan men willing to serve. Our general in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, is looking to train 400,000 Afghan soldiers. FROM THIS I REALLY CANT SEE HOW MY OPPONENT CAN THINK OTHER WISE we need to see that the whole point of this counterinsurgency is to try to protect the united states from a THREAT now to clarify that we will strengthen the afghan corrupt government which my opponent is making the biggest issue. . http://www.whitehouse.gov... "Second, we will work with our partners, the United Nations, and the Afghan people to pursue a more effective civilian strategy, so that the government can take advantage of improved security. This effort must be based on performance. The days of providing a blank check areover. President Karzai's inauguration speech sent the right message about moving in a new direction. And going forward, we will be clear about what we expect from those who receive our assistance. We'll support Afghan ministries, governors, and local leaders that combat corruption and deliver for the people. We expect those who are ineffective or corrupt to be held accountable.
