The last time I looked HE is not bailing in afghanistan...anymore than he is in Iraq. He would have bailed on Iraq several years ago and left our nation with a loss that would have destroyed us. Totally destroyed us. It would have insured that we faced terrorism threats for decades to come. Bush's willingness to stick with it, while Obama wanted to turn tail and run, gave Obama the possibility of pulling out of Iraq without devastating consequences. I don't hear you idiots talking about THAT fact. We ARE bailing on Afghanistan, whether or not you know it. They have already begun to ratchet down goals and expectations. You are are wrong about the importance of Iraq but like most Americans you are wrong out of ignorance of a complex subject and out of partisanship, so that can be overlooked. But when we turn tail and run from Afghanistan/Pakistan we virtually insure that the threat of terrorism against us, in our homeland, will continue.
