It is time to bring the troops home from Afghanistan. It has been for a long time. The leaders are too corrupt there and the poor people are just suffering. When I say the poor people I mean ALL of the people. The country is very poor and all of the outside resources and funds that come in go directly to the leaders and very little is seen by the people. Speak with anyone that has been there and they will validate all of this and the stories you will hear are not pretty. As far as Iraq. Obama is again just sticking to the Bush policies. The date to bring the troops out of Iraq is the date that Pres Bush put in place years ago. Obama tried for quite a while to extend our stay there but as usual he failed misserably. But he will preach to the duped about how "he" ended the war and liberals will believe him. I can hear them now, "well he dident extend our stay so he ended the war". Although the liberal brain wants to believe it, the fact that he negotiated us staying there shows that he was not just "ending" the war. There were specific things that we and the Iraqi leaders couldent agree with therefore the negotiations failed. Just another failure the dems will call a success. Because they tell the duped that.
