Obama as Gun Salesman, Afghanistan National Resistance, War on Terror

President Obama has been named "Gun Salesman of the Year" by outdoor media due to record-breaking firearm sales driven by fears of new regulations. Regarding foreign policy, former CIA agent Robert Baer and official Matthew Ho suggest the conflict in Afghanistan is a war of national resistance against foreign occupiers rather than a fight against global terrorism. They argue that the Afghan National Army is seen as an occupying force in rural areas, fueling a civil war that has persisted since the 1970s.
