We do not have decades of war in front of us. Because we can not afford decades of war. We have lost this war and maybe even wreaked our country.

The Bush gang needs to be jail in Afghanistan.

This was a brutal and accurate indictment. Good speach.

I believe Obama is worse than Bush because no one expected this from him. Ofcourse he will not end the war volenteerly but Afghans will make sure they end it very soon. US never had intention to leave any country, Japan, Germany still US troops are there. US must be forced to it, unfortunatly on cost of many innocent Afghan civilians.

I doubt Obama will end the war he is just like bush just a diffrent skin color.

Wow! What a speech! I love Daniel Ellsberg! I could listen to him all day.

Do you guys at TheRealNews have the speeches given by the rest of the panel there? If so, can you please post ALL of them as well?

[JusticeSelfEsteem4al]

America has lost the war long ago, not accepting this will be more and more desasterous not only for the poor and innocent people of Afghanistan but also Americans. Obama has the only chance to end this war now. He can rightfully blame Bush and also the corrupt regime of Karzai.

I am a Mass liberal and I agree 100%. When Kerry ran for Senate reelection, I supported his progressive challenger Ed O"reilly who only got 32% of the vote. I campaigned my heart for him even though I know he would never win.

Interesting and important speech. Wish this was an example of mainstream cable broadcasts.

I supported Obama until I realized that he doesn't believe in justice (won't even investigate the Bush War Criminals), supports torture (so-called 'rendition' is still happening, and people are still being tortured in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention blocking the release of torture evidence). Obama is a warmonger - he's escalating warfare!
