Where did you husband do his first tour right after 9/11,OIF didn't happen until 2003?

Our best friend is going back for the third time,last one he said was so much different from the first.Not sure where he is going this third time,somewhere dusty and dirty I imagine....

Marine infantry seem to get those type jobs.
"Obama doesn't have any plans to end EITHER war"

That's pretty funny, and or course falsr. Obama will end both wars because he's tired of seeing that money wasted, when it should be spent rebuilding this country and economy, he has repeatedly said it, and he will do it. You must be thinking of your crazed dottering 'old fool' candidate, who advocates 'more wars to come , my friends'.

Isnt' the US government in a tizzy because the Iraqi's want us out?
The Iraqi's don't want a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) - they want us to leave.
I don't know that we'll have a chance unless we overthrow the government yet again.

Why can't the US just respect the Iraqi wishes and get out?

"Why can't the US just respect the Iraqi wishes and get out?"

Because that would be too much like the 'right thing' to do. Can't expect that from these neo-cons. Remember Bush declaring 'Mission Accomplished' 5 years ago, see him yelling 'bring it on', see him looking down at New Orleans through his plane window, see him sitting in a classroom of 6th graders reading 'The Pet Goat' AFTER the first plane hit the Trade Tower? Those are the images of the most powerful person in the world over the past 8 years, the person who had destroyed our credibility around the world. You can't expect him to ever do the 'right thing'.

Could you post his plans to end both wars?

I ask because Obama has stated he cannto guarantee a troops withdrawal from Iraq BEFORE 2012...Afghanistan all I have heard is the need for MORE troops.

And then there is Obama stating he would attack Pakistan itself if terrorists were there...

It's also been talked about on American Forces Network (AFN) radio and TV.
I believe it's been on the Pentagon channel, as well.
