The war on terrorism continues.... that we like it or not

President Barack Obama plans to send 4,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan in an effort to confront the threat posed by the Taliban and al-Qaeda there and in neighboring Pakistan, administration officials said.

Obama is set to unveil his new strategy for the eight-year- old conflict in Afghanistan tomorrow. The goal is to disrupt, weaken and ultimately destroy havens and support for al-Qaeda, whose leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are now in Pakistan and plotting new attacks against the U.S., the officials, who briefed reporters on the plan, said.

Bottom line. The more things change, the more they stay the same. What happened to "change"? The policy of any administration has to be to protect the country. War is a necessity, not a choice, because we have to protect our interests.

I will be happy to speak to your investment group on how the business cycle impacts investment strategies and the choice of asset classes.
