Thread For DUers Who Oppose Afghanistan Troop Increase, But Still Generally Support Obama
Though you and I disagree on this issue specifically regarding Obama's policy with Afghanistan, I can still greatly respect you because you are politically mature enough to not allow a single issue destroy your support for our Democratic President in the general sense.

We can oppose our elected Democrats on specific issues and still support them generally.

2. I have opposed this war from the beginning ...
... and oppose the planned troop increase.

Although I have been disappointed at times by the positions Obama has taken on certain issues, I still support his presidency wholeheartedly.

I have no doubt that he made this decision after much thought, consideration and soul-searching - and believes he is doing the right thing.

Personally, I believe it was the wrong decision.

For the sake of our troops and the Afghan people, I hope I am the one who is proven wrong in the end.
