Last week Congress passed the war supplemental appropriations bill. In an affront to all those who thought they voted for a peace candidate, the current president will be sending another $106 billion we don’t have to continue the bloodshed in Afghanistan and Iraq, without a hint of a plan to bring our troops home.
What is Obama supposed to do? He cannot take the troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq prematurely. If he were to do so, that would leave unimaginable chaos and would lead to a bigger problem for the US later.
No, we have to stay until we can rectify the mess that W made. This cannot be laid at Obamas feet.

'Rectify the mess'? I don't think so. Did 'Vietnamization' work? Neither will 'Iraqization'. Wherever we meddle we cause untold misery and destruction. Millions of Vietnamese, Cambodians, now Iraqis and Afgans. The best solution is to leave and let the people work it out without us. They have for centuries before America existed and will do so again. The only involvement we shoud have would be to give money to compensate in some way for the destruction we visited upon them.
He juts like so many other things just made rpomises to get elected. Watch the middle class taxes go up or things be passed on tot ehm. Starting with cap and trade.Then health care cost.
How disgusting. I dont care and the vast majority of Americans DO NOT care if they all kill eachother off over there or anywhere. It is none, NONE of our business yet we continue to make it our business by butting in everyone elses business. Why do you think Canada is so neutral? They keep to themselves and mind their own damn business. No one hates Canada. Everyone hates America.
Who cares of there is kaos there? Who cares if they have power struggles? The way most of us see it is as they kill eachother off the world will be a safer place.
We have our own hungry, homeless, poor, sick, senior citizens, unemployed, people losing their homes, and all kinds of needy people right here in the good ol USA.
All you people wondering where the money will come from to pay for a desperatly needed national health care in the USA? Look what your govt is giving away. Sometimes it is disquised as a loan but your govt always forgives these loans before a single payment is made. Sheesh man they are giving away money to our mortal enemies!! Many times these enemies are using this money to make and buy weapons to send back our way.
Take care of our own first. How can anyone argue with that? I'm sure some one will find a way even knowing they are wrong.
Look --- we never should have gone in the first place. Ron Paul and yes, Obama were right on the money with that.
But we are there and as much as I would love to say just pull out -- well, that doesn't work with birth control and it doesn't work with wars.
In the 1980s we meddled with Afghanistans war with Russia. Guess what? We helped to birth the Taliban. Yes, that is right - Reagans money and gifts of guns really bit us all in the ass how many years later? This is what I am talking about. We destabilized the region, now we have to do whatever it takes to get it to the point where it just might not implode within hours of the US leaving.
This may be an unpopular stance but it bears reminding that this situation was not made by Obama - it was made by that rat bas*ard W.

They don't want us there - in either in Iraq or Afganistan. And can you blame them? How would you feel if your kids were killed in a drone strike? How would you like it to have the door of your home kicked in by soldiers in the dead of the night and have your family held at gunpoint? The Muslims will fight each other for awhile, but they will resolve their differences. Bush destabilized Iraq. No worry. They did just fine after they ousted the Brits and they will do fine after ousting US.
