Obama to continue the 'real' War on Terror



After 9/11 Bush launched combat operations against Afghanistan, major retaliation started in an airstrikes involving Tomahawk missiles and F-18's before the ground operations were launched, some 11,000 troops involved in the Battle for Tora Bora in December 2001 and Operation Anaconda in 2002, these were the major operations in Afghanistan the remains of the Taliban have fled to the mountains between Afghanistan and Pakistan where they have been making border skirmishes.

Last summer saw some activity including gunships but nothing big.

President Obama plans to put more effort into the war there to finish them off, it seemed Bush lost the objective when he bogged down the US Army in occupying Iraq and losing the main objective that had been started after 9/11, that is fighting the real terrorists!
