The new deployments, along with 22,000 troops he authorized early this year, would bring the total U.S. force in Afghanistan to more than 100,000, more than half of which will have been sent to the war zone by Obama.

Of all the broken campaign promises this seems to be the most dangerous.
Let's face the facts people: The Iraq War troop surge of 2007 added approx 24,000 troops.
(In 2007 Bush ordered the deployment of more than 20,000 soldiers into Iraq, five additional brigades, and sent the majority of them into Baghdad.[2] He also extended the tour of 4,000 Marines already in the Anbar Province area.)
In 10 months Obama will have ordered 56,000 troops into a war zone.
Not only has Obama double the size of the Afghan War, but he more than doubled The Bush Iraq Surge!!!
