Rethink Afghanistan War: The Eikenberry Cables

Get more breaking news: http://www.rethinkafghanistan.com

This year, 30,000 additional American troops will be deployed to Afghanistan despite the fact that the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan expressly opposed troop escalation in two strongly worded cables sent to the White House in 2009.

The White House ignored his warnings and sent troops anyway.

As the House Armed Services Committee begins to write the Defense Departments budget for 2011, we urge its members to read Eikenberrys memos. HASC members should write strong language into the 2011 Defense budget that requires the Pentagon to begin withdrawing our troops by July 2011.

this war is bs i understand removing saddam from power but everything else has been bs this war is never gonna be won there will always be terrorist in the world what we need to work on is strickening the border policies so not anybody can get into this country and send back the illegals thats would be a start

There were no "weapons of mass destruction." The wars abroad are illegal and must end. We must switch to green energy: solar and wind, not try to prop up an oil-based economy. If you asked American mothers whether or not they wanted their sons and daughters to DIE fighting over oil rights in the middle east, we'd never have started either war. Enough people have died over 911. Violence begets more violence, and we have no right to be on foreign soil.

Albert Pike was a man who formed the KKK and reformed the mafia back in the 1860's. He was also a 33rd degree mason and officer for the confederates in the civil war. He was tried and jailed for treason after the war to be pardoned shortly after by the president at that time. He is the only confederate soldier to have a statue in Washington. He wrote about the 3 world wars we would face in 1871 and the accuracy will scare the shit out of you.

@sirjames45 If the threat of terrorist were real why are there British soldiers dressing up like terrorist killing civilians and setting bombs? I will tell you why. Just look up the 3 wars of Albert Pike and tell me how this man guessed all 3 world wars back in 1871 and was 100% correct? You were just as much a puppet as the president. The Elite control you and everything you think and do. That is Pathetic. we didnt win Iraq we committed war crimes and genocide there to make more terrorist.
