Look at everything that our country has to show for all the money and lives spent...
 
A war with no objective is not really a war.

It's just a perfect never-ending money pit for defense contractors and such.
 
How can you mention casualties and try to score a political point in the same breath?

You're disgusting.

Now hold on a second.

He's just saying that because Obama repealed the don't ask, don't tell policy that the service men were too busy flirting with each other to notice the enemy.


Therefore it is Obama's fault.

Wouldn't you just love to show his quote to his fellow soldiers at the local VFW?

$20 says he'd have no teeth by the time he walks out...if he can walk out.
 
Thanks Obama for keeping it going.

Well worth it, right? So many lives lost but we got...

um...well, Bin Laden's dead, but that wasn't because of the war, but we also...

um......

I will always believe that they let him escape at Tora Bora on purpose. They left a mountain pass wide open. A mountain pass which led directly into the tribal regions of Pakistan.
 

Obama pledges Afghan support through 2024


May 1, 2012 5:52 PM

President Obama made an unannounced trip to Afghanistan on the first anniversary of the the killing of Osama bin Laden and signed a security agreement that pledges U.S. support through 2024, reports Norah O'Donnell.

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7407194n

Once the West's main offensive presence exits "by the end of 2014", the Taliban will have a much easier time picking-off American "advisers", one-by-one-by-one...

...hope all are ready for some gruesome kidnap/beheading vids on the evening news in the future.

2134 Americans, 433 Brits, and 632 troops of other countries have already died in Afghanistan...

...more than two-thirds of the American fatality total has occurred on President Obama's watch of 3+years, compared to Bush's 7+ years.

On average, an American is killed in Afghanistan every single day now, 365 days a year.

Overall...

...Afghanistan's future is not looking so bright at all:

Outgoing Red Cross chief in Afghanistan has bleak outlook for resolution of war

GENEVA — The outgoing head of the Red Cross delegation in Afghanistan says civilians are in greater danger with less hope for peace than when he arrived on his job seven years ago.

Reto Stocker says he’s “filled with concern” as he leaves the job he’s had since 2005 because suffering and hardship have increased among ordinary Afghans while their “hope for the future has been steadily declining.”

Stocker said in a statement Monday that the proliferation of local armed groups has left civilians “caught between not just one but multiple front lines.”

When the West leaves...

...Karzai will simply defer to his old Taliban mates in order to literally keep his head.

Unfortunately, for the rest of Afghanistan...

...the Taliban will just pick up where they left off before the Americans came and scattered them like the gutter swipes they are.

So, so many valiant ones died trying to make the country a better place for all its people...

...too bad both their Commanders-in-Chief's lives weren't actually on the line, too.
 
I wish that President Obama had wound down the war in Afghanistan sooner, but I trust his judgment.
 
Rational people: "This war has been a shameless waste of lives and resources, and is a national disgrace."

Wingnuts: "Obama is bad!"
 
It makes us 1/3 better than the Soviets. They only lasted 9 years.

Yeah, and their involvement was part of the path to soviet collapse...

You know, adding to their already over-burdened budget, fighting a war on a battlefield in which no invading army has been able to conquer in over a millennium.

You'd think that something might have been learned from history.
 
So, what has the war accomplished for us, the people of the United States?

Anyone?
