Yes, write to Congress and tell them to get us out of those shit holes. We can't afford it, enough people are dead because of what 18 criminals did, and billions of damage.

I re-read what you wrote. I think we're on the same page as for the war. However the President has not made any decision. In fact when an Afghan leader wrote him and told him not to send any more troops, because of the corruption within, Obama decided not to make a decision. So it' up in the air. Not sure why CBS is stating otherwise because it' not true.

obama wants to go down in history as the president who stopped the war at the expense of our daughter, sons, wife's,husbands, and family members lives. (American lives). so are the Government officials who support the addition of troops in Afghanistan and in the middle east. Instead of withdrawing troops they are condemning American soldiers to their death under the lie and manipulation of national security. write your congressman to end the war by withdrawing it's troops. in years to come

That' just nonsense. Bush declared war on Afghanistan & Iraq for 911 when 15 of the 18 criminals were from Saudi Arabia. I mean, WTF. Do you realize how many innocent people are dead? Wounded? Bush spent all our money in those 2 shit holes. Our objective in Iraq was to remove Hussein & we did that. Our objective in Afghanistan was to get Laden & that' never going to happen. It' ludicrous to keep our troops there on so many different levels.

A handful of criminals attacked us on 9/11 & we've killed 1.3M in Iraq -not sure of Afghans & Pakistanis dead. How is this justice? They didn't hurt us. And Obama is greatly concerned about our troops. It' been Sen. John Kerry who fought for proper equipment & Sen. Webb who wrote the new GI Bill which McCain voted against! This war has been out of control the day Bush deployed them to Iraq. Also you are dead wrong about Obama authorizing bombings of civilians. You clearly don't know the man.

Agree. But to shift troops all around W. Asia and call that end a war is naive. We've replaced the troops with expensive private contractors in iraq and still have residual forces there staying on permanent bases!

Obama did indeed order drone planes to bomb civilians in Pakistan. By 2010 Pakistan will be the next nation we will invade, even if with cooperation of the dictatorship govt of pakistan. We have been bombing and invading W. Asian nations since HW Bush, foreign policy never changes.

What is your source that Obama ordered drone planes to kill civilians? I need to know who' the great liar. Also Blackwater was contracted by the Bush admin. Obama isn't going to invade anyone. He wants to end the wars and attempt to bring peace back into the chaotic world. Do you ever watch the news?
