Good job John, just change the text to Dist. 32!

People bringing up Obama's campaign promise about bringing troops home from the war should really make sure that he wasn't talking about the Iraq War.

I don't really care what war he was talking about, we haven't brought them home from Iraq either?

We now have more "sub contractors" including mercenaries in Iraq and Afghanistan than we do soldiers.

They are not included in the "cost of war" for some reason. What happens to this rogue army when we leave?

Nothing Obama has done has even come close to resembling what appeared to be an "anti war" stance he had while running.

I am not an Obama basher, I am extremely anti war.

[clearsky24]

I tell people I don't want to remove our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, I want to bring them home from everywhere.

We are not the worlds police.

It would be interesting seeing John Jay Myers watching the last speech of Hezbollah's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, talking about that US colonialism in very reasonable terms. There are many agreements.
