so we see that while president obama went through with the promises to scale back on the record of ghana's that he's been actively building up a platform for possibly new wars president obama certainly prides himself on his role in killing osama bin laden and a number of other terrorists but the means by which the u.s. is going about the task of chasing down terrorists raises a lot of red flags so some experts argue that what washington is doing is fighting terror and provoking terror at the same time but in president obama's presentation everything sounds just great on the war on terror front. well president obama reiterated his commitment to cutting down on military spending and trimming the armed forces but u.s. professor paul sheldon foods says the president's pledge is that all of those with washington's foreign policy goals. he used the cute little code phrase that we're going to have an enduring relationship with death in a stand which means we're going to have bases in that country and stay there for ever whether they want to serve not. likewise he said we kill gadhafi syria's next

should speed up its pullout from ghana. this goes all the way back to two thousand and two when the abuses first started coming out in fact there were two deaths of afghan prisoners that led to many stories about abuses and background and we have heard about those kind of stories for the last several years i guess the only thing that is a surprise is that karzai is certainly taking it seriously think there have been terrible relations now for quite a long time and this is just one more in the mission of that i think the u.s. should really speed up the transfer of power in all its ramifications to the afghan government the obama administration is now having talks with the taliban the taliban want to set up a headquarters and cutter the obama administration after the troops leaving iraq is now talking much more about the troops leaving afghanistan and this has created more tensions but i think the solution for that is the u.s. to hand over the management of the background prison over to the afghan government and to start deve
