According to the BBC News, "state department employee Mathew Hoh, posted to Zabul province, said he quit because he had doubts about why the US was fighting, the paper reported."
Written last month, his resignation letter prompted officials to offer him alternative jobs, yet he declined. Presently, President Barack Obama is pondering future U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. As quoted by the Washington Post, Mr. Hoh wrote to the U.S. state department personnel section, that, "I have lost understanding of and confidence in the strategic purposes of the United States' presence in Afghanistan. I have doubts and reservations about our current strategy and planned future strategy, but my resignation is based not upon how we are pushing the war, but why and to what end." Obama's administration offered Mr. Hoh a job in the U.S. embassy in Kabul to deter him from quitting. He had been flown to Washington D.C. to meet Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, who initially convinced him to stay to influence policy from within instead of outside government. Nonetheless, Mr. Hoh ultimately refused, with his resignation becoming final in October. He claimed that the insurgency in some regions of Afghanistan arived only after the U.S. troops appeared. The BBC reports that, "the White House has said a decision on a new strategy for Afghanistan, including troop numbers, will be made in the coming weeks, but critics say the process is taking too long."

written by Ken Dickson , October 28, 2009 Our "great leader" cannot follow through on his strongly worded campaign "tripe" & he is surprised as to this type of outcome? Our troops are "fighting for their lives" as Obama 'fiddles while Rome burns"! What a mess! We need to protect our troops!

written by Dr. Little , October 28, 2009 This interestingly timed story [Mr. Hoh did not resign "in protest" just yesterday ....] is part of a cleverly coordinated prpaganda push by the communists who currently control the U S federal government, and who are trying through this story and others [recently long time communist tool John Kerry has been "trotted out" to play his "bit part" in this effort] to prepare public opinion [through a disinformation campaign similar to the one the communists mounted in the U S when they wanted to end U S involvement in giving support to the freedom loving South Viet Namese people] so that BAHAMA can either reduce troop levels in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN now, or else do so later : and then when he does so [as Boone Pickens recently predicted publicly] the CHICOM will get the Iraqi oil. Also, the CHICOM and the RUSSIANS will consolidate their hold over influence of various kinds in many parts of the world. The greatest shame in all of this is that there really are people in leadership positions in America, including people in the media and in business and in government, who know the truth and could speak out [as I am trying to do here and now] but they are keeping their mouths shut and sitting on their hands. Meanwhile, BAHAMA and John Kerry and the communists that are de facto in control of the U S Governement at the highest levels at the present time are committing treason and "selling out" our beave military personnel.

written by Dr. Little , October 28, 2009 Truth Seeker : Take a look at the information in the back cover of the book entitled : THE EMPRESS PROJECT. You will find the information. Then, if you truly do seek the truth, read that book.
...
written by Truth Seeker , October 28, 2009 Still seeking. It says you teach at St. Andrews in Idaho. What degree do you have and where did you go to school?
...
written by Dr. Little , October 29, 2009 SEEKER : If you really want to seek the truth, read the book. It will tell you a lot about what is going on in the world around you today; and will explain pretty candidly about the CHICOM "Plan A" option. Recently it was reported that Charles Krautheimer told a group that the Clintons still are stunned and do not understand how Obama overtook them. The reason ought to be easy for them to see : the CHICOM did not place all of their "eggs" in one basket. In fact, they sowed seeds of opportunity in more than one direction; and in the 2008 election cycle they moved to "Plan B". That is how Mr. B became president of the US, and why he overtook the campaign of the Empress. You are looking in the wrong direction, SEEKER : read the book. Learn the truth. Write comment
