Should USA remove their forces from Afghanistan?

He said he wanted to end the war in Iraq, most people didn't listen when he said he was going to send more forces into Afganistan. What is the difference? Didn't he just authorize 17.0000 troops to be sent there? I think both places are wars that can't be won, not even sure how you could tell if you did win.

I disagree with Obama on many things, but he is smart enough to know that withdrawing from Afghanistan would be the dumbest thing he could possibly do. For one thing the Taliban would declare victory. They've already done that in Pakistan where they've taken over part of the country. If we leave now they'll have no problem taking over that hellhole again. After that it's back to being terrorist headquarters and a place where women get beaten in the streets.

You can argue whether Iraq is better or worse after the war, but Afghanistan is the armpit of the middle east. Nothing anyone could do could EVER make it worse than it was before we invaded. At least now women can get educated and people can practice religion. Who knows, their literacy rate may even hit 40 someday.

The war was won in Iraq when President George W. Bush backed by Senator John Mccain and all of our milatary ordered the surge,if it had been left up to Barack Obama the war in Iraq would had been lost and every man and women that placed their names on the dotted line wanting to server their country the United States of American would had died in vain,President Bush and Senator John McCain would never let that happen and thanks to them and our brave military men and women we have won the war in Iraq.

Did you say we lost the war,I think if you asked 50 million free Iraq people most would disagree with you,not so long ago our great United States general Patraus walked along the streets of Baghdad on a bright and sunny day little Iraqi children run to him and took his hands and they kissed his hands, Iraqi men came to him and patted him on the back and shook his hand,other embarrassed the general clearly with tear's in their eye's and gratitude in their heart's,if you call this loosing a war I do not know what country you live in.

Today the Iraq people walk in the sun shine,they sell their wonderful fresh fruits and vegetable on the streets of Baghdad they no longer live in fear of a mad man,brutal dictators "Saddam Hussein",the women are not beat,raped and then in cold blood their head's blow of their shoulder's or beheaded by very dark and evil radical Muslims males,the children run and play ball in the sunshine listen sometime to their laughter as they chase the ball around,women and children go to school,a week ago the people men and women a like voted with out interruption,dipping their finger in purple ink to show they have proudly voted and did it in peace,tell me the United States did not win the war in Iraq,I would really have to beg to differ with you.

A country goes to war with the information they have before them,the United States congress took a vote President Bush,John McCain,Barack Obama,Joe Biden,Hillary Clinton along with 80% of congress and most all of the allies of the United States voted to go to war,the brave and strong stayed on the ship to the very end,the other seeing it was getting hot and heavy as war so often dose,seeing it was not popular with the American people,seeing if they jumped ship some people will like them much more,seeing they will get elected into office next go around,all them rat's jumped ship,leaving the strong and brave to row the ship alone and they did row that ship all the way to victory.

The people of the United States have not begin to suffer,do you think living in a big house or a two story house with a two car garage, pool table in the den,every kind of a electronic game for the kid's,swing set's,hot tubs,swimming pools in the back yard,ordering pizza and drinking soda pop,ice cold beer's or BBQ hot dog's and burgers on the barbie in the back yard, watching foot ball and NASA car on big screen T.V.s all week end long is suffering,what a way to go.

Even the poor eat well off of food stamps regularly every month some year after years, running fast as they can with a Pepsi in one hand and a cell phone pined to their ear,free clothes,shoes,blankets,cook ware,T.V.phones,potty chairs for the baby,free Christmas tree's,and plenty of presents for the kid's at Christmas time,low in come rent,free medical and dental to many low income family's all across the United States,gas coupons,box's of free food once a month,free milk,cheese,cereal,eggs once every month from wic, heating help by the states in the dead winter and the free list don't end their,most Americans do not know what it is really like to go with out most American's have to much of every thing their closet's runnth over,same with their garages and then they rent storage room for all the rest of there stuff,American's so far as a whole have not came close to suffering,and of late some are beginning to understand just how good they have had life.


The war was not the cause of our nation to go belly-up it was the year's of greed of dirty corrupted politicians stuffing their faces and their pocket's twenty-four seven,year in and year out.
Corrupted politicians putting their corupted old pal's in office,corrupted politicians sitting on boards getting tax payer's money in the millions for their pal's pork pet project's or pockets year in and year out,it was because of very stupid American voter's time again putting these dirty greedy corputed politican in office.

Then to it was greedy American's running up their credit card's to the max,you know just to buy more of that stuff they really could live without and them holiday's to Disney land and Disney world and water park's,and places of all kinds of adventure on charged their credit cards and some just did not pay their bill's instead went out and had themselves a blast.
Then the ones who bought more house then their pocket book's could ever afford them same ones want the responsible home owners to bail them out,not a good idea,doing that only encourage bad behavior,lesson not learn surely will be repeated.

You need to understand if the United States don't fight radical Muslims on their turf they will be fighting them on American soil.

Maybe had not the radical Muslims placed a bomb in a New York City parking garage murdering six innocent American's and injured over one thousand,maybe had they not blow up the United States U.S.S Cole murdering seventeen United States Navy men and women as they was about to sit down to a meal on board ship and maybe had they not high jacked and then flew three United States aircraft in to our twin towers murdering over then 3000 innocent men,women and little children maybe the United States would not be kicking their cowardly butt's today,old saying if you want peace don't shoot at other people.
Far as Barack Obama ordering 17,000 troops in to Afghanistan today,Maybe you was not listening Obama said on national T.V.he will go to Bin Laden's cave and kill him,my goodness he is acting like George Bush Jr,think of that.

Afghanistan is the front of war on terror, if forces are removed, USA lose, Al- Qeada win. Taliban back to business, and Afghanistan continue to be Osama second home.
