We can only hope that some rational Congress in the next two years votes to cut off funding of Obama's Vietnam strategy (and yes, I use that term intentionally).
I don't by the we have to stay because it makes us safe - that's utter bullshit. Occupying a country that really doesn't love us is feeding the recruiting efforts of militant Islamic groups - period.
Think of how much safer we'd be if we pulled the troops, then channeled 1/10 of the Afghan budget into securing our ports and borders.
Being in Afghanistan didn't stop the latest (Times Square) attack - but it certainly caused it. At what point do we as voters throw out all of those who would tie our security to the occupation of a country that has stymied world powers for centuries?
Afghanistan is the place foreign policies go to die. We would do well to remember that, and start bringing our troops home.
I can't begin to express how big a coward and a liar Obama is.
