Big serious felonies such as armed robberies and murders are expected to increase as the mercury on the thermometer goes up according to local law enforcement and cops and judges are in danger of being victims of crime in the courthouse parking garages. President Barack Obama on Friday ordered 4,000 more military troops into Afghanistan, vowing to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" the terrorist al-Qaida network in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan because the al-Qaida network has hired several local gangs such as MS-13, latin kings and the 18th Street Mexicali to terrorize our neighborhoods and this spring and summer, the law enforcement will be in danger and we need the National Guard to help the local police fight crime and terrorism. In a war that still has no end in sight, Obama said the fresh infusion of U.S. forces is designed to bolster the Afghan army and turn up the heat on terrorists that he said are plotting new attacks against Americans. The plan takes aim at terrorist havens in Pakistan and challenges the government there and in Afghanistan to show more results. Obama called the situation in the region "increasingly perilous" more than seven years after the Taliban was removed from power in Afghanistan. "If the Afghanistan government falls to the Taliban or allows al-Qaida to go unchallenged," Obama said, "that country will again be a base for terrorists."

Guess between the Irak's war and afghanistan we really need to ask our-selfes what's next? Do we really need to spend so much money on unwanted war or are the govt looking for income in other lands by making us believe that wars are the "remedes" of the falling capitaliste economy?
