Let the Repubs make this there Vietnam where they wail and gnash their teeth for us to leave. We needed to win that fight and we moved on to Iraq but Afgh is the one we have no choice but to fix. If we dont Afgh and Pak will slowly devolve into extremist rule. If we leave Afgh. it would not only be a mistake it would be another thing that was hung on the Dems neck.

They help us take over Iraq and we help them maintain control over that region. They never really gave up on India and the outlying regions that threaten her. Sorry GB, you cut a deal with criminals and you know what they say about honor among thieves..<br><br>We The People were never in on that deal. Now that we have the reins back on our pony, you'll have to ride by yourself. Well the hidden reason for being there “Al Qaida” notwithstanding, is that we cut a deal with the british.

We need to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible. Meaning yesterday. No more money. It is sucking us dry and that is exactly what our enemies want. They are using our pride and arrogance against us. They spend pennies, we spend mega bucks. The result is that we will fail and they will win. This is exactly how an insurgency is conducted. <br><br>Pull out now.
