THIS year's end. Yay! They couldn't come to agreement on immuity for troops so they are all coming home. But we'll be in Afghanistan, and pouring money into their infrastructure, for years to come.

The afghan war was is the only one we should've been in in the first place. Personally I have no problem being in Afghanistan, Iraq was my beef. Actually, I kind of feel like Obama isn't doing too bad a job as "Commander in Chief"... I was against US/Nato action in Libya - but look at the results! A rebel group that would've otherwise been destroyed easily has toppled the longest ruling dictator in the middle east (world? 42 years is a fuck-ton after all). Obama ran in part by promising to end the Iraqi war, not the Afghan war so dont expect much action from him on that front.

We'll all believe it when we see it. Highly doubt that though. Correction, I very highly doubt the US will ever be fully out of Iraq. There is to much infrastructure there that the US cant and wont just walk away from. Let alone the energy interest.

But look at the results... What result did you expect??? Easily toppled... Of coarse they were easily when they were being attacked from the air by Nato (the usa and uk) and being attacked on the ground by the "rebels" who were no doubt supported by Brittish and American special forces with an unlimitted amount of guns and bombs and shit also supplied by the US and UK....

What I'm worried about is all these service folks coming home and no jobs here to support them. You're going to see a huge swell in the Occupy crowds.

Don't worry, I'm sure they will drum up a new war somewhere else before that happens.

The Afghan War was bigger BS than Iraq war. Bush made a group of loosely associated people into all terrorists The Afghan government did not exist we should have never sent in troops. We should have navy sealed his ass in the first place and saved a trillion dollars.

Well placed tactical nuke would of solved it. That or 20 MOABs all going off at once within a couple hundred yards of where Bin Laden was camped

And your Memory is Short. First thing we did was Use Spec Ops in alliance with the northern Tribes
Then
We let him go in Tora Bora
 
its sad that Obama has to resort to putting others lives in danger just so his dumb ass could get reelected. this is nothing but a sham and a ploy to get more votes. If he really wanted to get something good he would bring them all home from afghanastan and pakistan as well, but he wont cause he is skeerd he might lose votes. asshole.

This kinda leans towards a thought i had one day about the war. That the government will not bring back the troops because it will cause unemployment to go up.

They started as a response to 9/11 but got stuck there because bush didn't want the blame of having unemployment go up. I think Obama is doing this in a last ditch effort to get re-elected .

Unemployment will not be going up. They will still be working for the Goverment
The extra paychecks coming home to military bases will actually stimulate the local economies
