Obama's Plan Isn't Peaceful Or Even Good

From Yahoo News:
"Obama boosts troops in Afghanistan with exit plan"

I will never understand how Obama can be considered "peaceful" and then add 30,000 more American troops to the War in Afghanistan. Someone who prolongs a war (whether it is a just cause or not) is not peaceful. I think it was very stupid to announce when we will start withdrawing our troops (in 2011.) We just told the terrorists, the Taliban and any anti-American group in Afghanistan - "Just wait 18 months and then we will start to leave and you guys can take over again."
This is one of the first things he has actually done - rather than talk about doing - and the only real part I don't like about his plan is announcing when we will get out of Afghanistan. Why add thousands upon thousands of new American troops if we are just sending them back home in 18 months? You can tell Obama is not a good military thinker nor does he seem to have any good military advisors around him. Maybe he should do what he does best - talk and create a "military czar" to handle things.
