War like Poker is ALL IN FOLD not raise the anti then fold!

War like poker you are all in or you fold! You do not raise if you do not plan to see it to the end. We can not send in troops that are not sufficient  in number and support to eradicate the enemy and tell the enemy to hide for 12-18 months and we will leave.  Mr President you are either in or out. Raising the anti without doing what is necessary to win is a waste of money and lives.  War is bad and innocents will be killed, better the innocents that know who the enemy is rather than us soldiers.  or if you plan to win at all costs hit them with overwhelming force and finish it.  To fight a "humane" war is a recipe for failure and will get GIs killed.  It is better not to try and just pull out now if you do not have the stomach to do what is needed.
As a parent of two boys who volunteered to join the armed forces I, and they, have no respect for doing something half way.  What you are proposing is not war but a police action which, history tell us, has never succeeded especially in Afghanistan.  
 
STOP THE MADNESS AND PULL OUT NOW OR GO IN LEVELING THE PLACE!  Your decision should never be political but what is correct decision for the country.  I believe you made a political decisions to try to appease both sides.  The political reality is that you lost my support and vote for you and your policies/party.  You fooled me during the campaign but your actions have lost me as a voter.
