In an address to the nation televised live from West Point Academy, President Barack Obama announced that he has approved the deployment of 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan, starting after Christmas, to complete the on going mission against the Taliban and Al-Quida.
While the President has stated that he is not looking to conduct and endless war, he authorizes this action because the dangers represented by the Taliban and Al-Quida not only threaten national security, but global security as well.
Military action continues in that country in cooperation with forces from the United Nations since the September 11, 2001 attack in America and similar terrorist activities in London and elsewhere.
