Afghanistan - President Obama


Eugene Robinson writes an interesting article about
President Obama's decision to stay in Afghanistan. 
He thinks we should get out. I agree. I think the
President is vulnerable on this decision.


Eugene RobinsonWhy does the Afghanistan war go on?





"Some heard a declaration of victory, others an admission of defeat. The many contradictions in President Obama’s speech about Afghanistan Wednesday night were perhaps intended to obscure the bottom line: Tens of thousands of American troops will remain for at least three more years, some of them will be maimed or killed, and Obama offered no good reason why."
