Bring the troops home.

The Iraq and Afghan wars are like a daily reality show illustrating the incompetance of the Bush, Cheney years. We should drop Cheney (take Liz and Coulter with him) in Iraq and not to return until he has the promised "oil" money to pay for the war. Oh by the way and bring those liberator roses back with you for the Rose Bowl parade. Mr. President the country has been stuck with the 8 year incompetency of Bush and Cheney. Do not join them. Ghengis Kahn, the British Empire and the Soviet Union all have one thing in common - they were all defeated in Afghanistan. The Soviet Union was finacially devasted. The rest is history. Afghanistan is a corrupt, illiterate country composed of war lords, gangs, religious fanatics and has yet to advance to the culture of the middle ages, much less funtion peacefully in today's world. Mr. President you must tell the American people that Afghanistan will look better in the rear view mirror.

I guess I should watch more cartoons.

They are very reluctant to raise taxes on the upper class and will meekly approve Obama's war in Afghanistan. Posted by: Aprogressiveindependent | November 24, 2009 10:00 PM |
