Obama visited Afghanistan in late March, 2010 and again in early December.
Yes, when Barack Obama became president in 2009, he did increase the number of troops in Afghanistan. In line with his strategy to combat the Taliban and stabilize the country, Obama ordered a surge of 30,000 additional troops in December 2009. However, he also announced a timeline for the withdrawal of US forces, which began in 2011.
Yes because America doesnt want to keep getting attacked it cost to keep having these wars plus pretty soon there will be no one else left on the planet plus president Obama has the right to send more troops to Afghanistan and if he doesnt the taliban will kepp messing with Afghanistan and mabe if theres not enough troops to stop the bulling the Obama going to have to send more troops no matter what.
Afghanistan.

because obama lies
Obama stated, during his campaign, that troops would increase in Afghanistan and go down in Iraq. Neither has occurred.
When Mr. Obama came into office, there were two wars going on, both begun under President Bush. One was in Iraq and the other was in Afghanistan. President Obama kept his promise to end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home, but the war is Afghanistan is continuing, and US withdrawal is not scheduled to occur till 2014.
Yes and no. He did not start any wars, but he inherited two wars from President Bush. Mr. Obama ended most of the US involvement in Iraq and brought the vast majority of the troops home in 2011. He is currently overseeing the end of US involvement in Afghanistan, and expects most of the troops to be home by next year.
He has taken out most of the troops and sent them to Afghanistan for peace keeping
He didn't. He is the 44th President of the United States.
