House Rejects Bid to End Afghan War

They think your stupid. The Senate nor Congress has to vote to end the war, this war is not a properly declared war. Obama can end it right now, but that wont happen, the peace president hasn't allowed the westernization of Afghanistan yet. It takes time to force them into a central banking system, and a Wal-Mart economy.

No, but I am sure it was a nice distraction.

Don't think that money solves problems. It generally creates them.

Withdraw within 30 days? Thank God that idiotic measure was voted down. I am going to be with my President, should he decide to stay or decide to go... He's my Commander in Chief. But, whatever we decide to do, it's going to have to be planned by military leaders who actually know how to accomplish the goal, not retards in the Congress that couldn't tie their own shoe without five interns and a three week popularity poll.

The illegal occupations need to end, yesterday.

I wonder how the unemployment crisis plays into the extended occupations.

Regardless of it's legality, there is a right way to move a hundred thousand men and a million + tons of gear, and the first step is to not follow a politicians wild and uninformed recommendation that he dreamed up solely for the purpose of creating a disaster to blame on other politicians.

We agree in this case.

I totally disagree with President Obama's escalation in Afghanistan, do not ever want political decisions left up to the military, (Truman fired MacArthur....not the reverse) & think the money we are squandering in the ME is needed right here....right now.

I think the reluctance to pull our troops out NOW is simply political cowardice & a "Cave" to the Right-Wingnuts.

I wish the Congress had cut off war funding 4 years ago!
