Agreed. Bring them home and let Afghanistan find their own way.

We lost in Somalia, though, and did we ever actually have U.S. troops be stationed in Libya?

I'm sure these rumors of nearly 10,000 Troops in Afghanistan is a Vast Right Wing Conspricacy. The Prez and Vice Prez "promised", and they would never LIE about anything.
2016 is a much better choice.... after all, the "Summer of Repub Discontent" as the election process goes on display. The Dems pulling out of foreign wars the Repubs desperate to try to get into foreign wars. Yep, should be much fun to watch.... I wonder where the American people will be on this spectacle?

Long overdue, the Taliban are not going away and 10 years is enough. Russia, Great Britain tried and failed as we have, they need to work this out on their own. Iraq may turn out to be a success story but Afghanistan is a different story.

We never pull out. Its a disgusting military industrial complex that rapes the tax payer in the name of "patriotism"

Being "invaded" and being asked or invited are two separate things. We were also invited to stay in France after their liberation during WWII. We left trhere when we were asked to leave in the 60s. So there's another country. You can't just change the intent of the original question to suit the answer you want to get.
