Just maybe there's something the government isn't telling us. Seems like Obama ran on the idea of getting us out of that hell hole. Perhaps when he became Prez, the military powers to be sat him down with some secret intelligence and he said "Oh F*kk, we can't leave yet". I'm thinking that the Pentagon boys know a lil more about A'stan than the experts at PP. No facts to bolster this just a bit of thinking aloud... BTW, I want us out too.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

If they knew shItall about Afghanistan, they'd have known better than to go there.

Watching the "experts" on O'Reilly in the "Spin Like a Tornado Zone"...
Up until today, lots of gleeful finger pointing..."Obama said he'd get us out of there, but he's done nothing!"
The he gets Bin Laden..."Yeah, but we're still there!"
Today announces that we'll be transferring power over the next couple of years, and be down to supporting roles after that, for eight years after the transfer and drawdown begins.
Today..."Cut and Run! He's been cutting forces in Afghanistan all along and just trying to get us out of there!"
The only thing more moronic than those "experts" are the "experts" here and elsewhere who agree with those morons.
Fish on...

Todd Could be longer. We'll be taking shots with the drones for long time, I suspect.

Actually Obama increased the number of troops in Afghanistan shortly after taking office. Used a "Surge" similar to what was considered effective in Iraq. The actual troop decrease that has been taking place over the last 10 months is really just cutting the troops back to the level they were prior to the surge. We will be there for at least 12 years due to the agreement signed today. Now while we will be doing a lot of training and assisting, we will fight with them when asked. As someone who has worked side by side with the ANA, I see us doing a lot more fighting than training.
