[noamnety]

22. Hey

[AndrewP]

8. Hell No I don't

[mix]

2. never nt

[bigjohn16]

3. No. nt

[debbierlus]

4. Fuck no.

[Sebastian Doyle]

5. End all the occupations, bring all the troops home.

And never again abuse the US military, which should exist ONLY to defend the United States of America. Not serve corporatist interests.

[zorahopkins]

7. H.E.L.L. N.O.!!

Bring ALL the troops home!

RIGHT NOW!!

End our imperiailistic war of agression!

[peace frog]

9. Nope

thanks but no thanks.

[sendero]

10. I don't believe..

... in engaging in activities that have a very low probability of success.

The idea that we are going to "fix" Iraq or Afghanistan is DELUSIONAL. It is not going to happen, not in 3 years, not in 6 years not ever.

What a fucking waste of lives.

[notesdev]

11. Can you add a stronger option than "no" please? n/t

[scarletwoman]

12. No fucking way! It's all bullshit.

[StarfarerBill]

13. No.

[bdamomma]

14. no I just hate war, and killing.

[chill_wind]

15. No.

But I am not surprised at the decision.

[enigmatic]

16. no

Never.

[david13]

17. No. Absolutely not. dc

[WeDidIt]

18. My only disappointment is he's only sending 30,000

More would make his withdrawal strategy move more quickly.

[tiny elvis]

29. there is a clue in what you say having to do with

whether they care to withdraw on schedule

[MrSlayer]

19. No, it is a foolish waste of money and resources.

We should have been withdrawing yesterday and turning the terrorist problem over to intelligence.

[waldenaut]

20. No.

[Crewleader]

21. NO!

[Zavulon]

23. No, I support getting the fuck out.

As I said before, the only way to "win" a war like this is to be willing to flatten anything and anyone - hospitals, mosques, schools or wherever else the enemy might be hiding, even if you wind up killing more woman and children than combatants. Unless we want to start doing that, and I hope we never do, we're just getting our people killed.

Does Obama really think he's pacifying the other side with this idiocy? What's the point of sending half the requested number of troops anyway?

I look forward to lots of empty "lives created or saved" reports from the White House and Congress. The last thing I wanted to see was a troop surge, which is something I'd have expected from Bush.

[Odin2005]

24. Yes, with reservations.

[OneBlueSky]

25. No, No, a thousand times No . . . n/t

[TexasObserver]

26. No!

[leftstreet]

27. Not just no, but HELL NO!

[dysfunctional press]

28. if there's even one 'boot' left on the ground there in 2012...

i hope that he at least has the decency not to run for re-selection.

[lamp_shade]

30. The title of your post is like honey to the swarm of angry bees here tonight... just

waiting for every opportunity to crap on the President's speech. So what's new?

[Skittles]

31. no

but I do wish for success, whatever that may be, and I will continue to send care packages and postcards to the troops

[Electric Monk]

32. Very reluctantly.
