Time to go. They don’t want us there. We are WASTING money there and arguing about who should pay. This situation is more than childish. Now the rebublicans want to start another war. War has not worked out well for the USA since WWII when there was a clear goal and support from the people.
Why do you blame republicans? Clean the wax out of your ears and listen to the war drums being beat on both sides. Your favorite liberal cronies are doing the exact same thing you’re accusing republicans of. Use your brain, don’t just repeat rhetoric.
It is still a huge waste of money and American lives. it is time to go. Bring our troops home. Reelect President Obama. At this time, who cares that our dumbest and worst president ever was in charge when the worst attack on America occurred? Who cares that the shrubster stopped looking for osama bin laden? Who cares shrubster and crew tilted the playing field so far to the right and in favor of the 1%? Are you personally reaping any of the benefits, or just a few already very rich?
Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh?, Burma?, Ethiopia?, Yemen?, Argentina?, Sudan?, Syria?, so many cards, so many possible targets, oh right, some are our “friends” now? Give Mitt or the chickenhawks a chance, they won’t be.
I interpret Payne as saying that the US exiting Afghanistan would pull down the house of cards. I feel that he is probably correct, but how long should we continue to prop up a corrupt government when the citizens don’t want us there? Yes, if we exit Afghanistan and the government collapses the Republicans will blame Obama; if the government survives and the people prosper the Republicans will complain that we should have exited earlier, so who really cares what Republicans say?
I just hope it doesn’t turn out like last time, when the CIA was lending STINGER missiles to aid the Afghani people against the Soviet Union. When the USSR pulled out, so did we, when they needed us the most to help establish a new government. The resulting power vacuum allowed Al-Qaeda to take over and sowed the seeds of that horrible day in 2001.
