I don't think so.
I don't think so. Obama stated numerous times that we were being distracted by Iraq and that our efforts needed to be refocused on Afghanistan. Throughout his campaign he discussed the need for more brigades in Afghanistan.

I don't mean to sound too harsh, but being a McCain supporter I wanted to say,
Who Cares whos idea it is/was.....just be glad that he is doing it!
Yes, I think it`s a good idea.
I don`t think so - our government and military leaders (Canadian) have been asking for more troops there for ages, before your election campaign started.
Sound too harsh? You mean towards me? I was laughing when I made my comment...note the LOL!
The OP asked "what do you think of his idea to put more troops in Afghanistan?"
I thought it was clear what I thought of it.
Especially seeing how it worked in Afghanistan. And you're right about being petty, that's why I'm of the general mindset that if you're not willing to give credit where it is due then you shouldn't be so quick to lay blame when things don't you your way either.
And if some folks want to believe this is some sort of original idea--go for it!
But that wasn't the question now was it?
You have a point (as usual lol).
I am off now to change into wintery gear lol.
I really don't understand what McCain has to do with this at all. McCain did not advise him, he did not "give him the idea". A surge in Afghanistan is something they both supported. My point of the post was to ask how others feel about a surge, not to discuss McCain. I'm also curious about opinions on how this will affect the situation in Iraq as well as our military as a whole.
