Now can we get out of Africkinghanistan?

[ClassWarrior]

This is major news, and big kudos to the Prez. Now we no longer have a reason to be there shooting the place up. Right?

NGU.

1. I really hope this will mark a shift to a swift exit.

[Phx_Dem]

2. It turns out, 8 years was not too long after all.

Mission accomplished.

[ClassWarrior]

3. I'll gladly admit you were right. Will you cheerfully support a rapid withdrawal?

NGU.

[Hardrada]

4. I will.

10. Couldn't be fast enough for me.

I am so sick of all these wars.

Everything is during to s**t here in America.

Time to invest in our own people and country.

15. Islamabad is located within Afghanistan?

I didn't know that.

22. Will you sign a petition? Here...

5. It is possible that this could be used politically

to smooth over a serious withdrawal. Of course, in reality getting Osama has almost nothing to do with our military presence in Afghanistan, but the American public doesn't know that.

[ClassWarrior]

6. Yup. The RW has bequeathed us an enormous opportunity. Let's seize it.

NGU.

7. Not to mention Iraq.

The Prez said that Bin Laden was responsible for 9-11.
So, does that mean we no longer need to be in Iraq? Which had nothing to do with 9-11?


can we stop killing people in Pakistan now?

[ClassWarrior]

13. Good questions, dixiegrrrrl. All of which deserve answers now.

NGU.

8. Hey ClassWarrior...nice to see you old friend...

:toast:

To President Obama, to life after BushCo, to America and to Americans and to Hope. Cheers!

[ClassWarrior]

9. Great to see you too, Tex!

I hope you've been well. Stay in touch...

:toast:

To hope.

NGU.

[texpatriot2004]

11. and NGU! Right you are. What was that about the wheels of

justice grinding slowly but exceedingly...hmm? Btw wonder how Bleever is?

[ClassWarrior]

12. Go see for yourself...

The creepy kid posted his own link tonight. Copycat.

[progressoid]

14. Uh...nope.

Not for a while

[ClassWarrior]

16. What, did you lose the car keys or something?

:eyes:

NGU.

[progressoid]

17. Lost my cell phone last week.

That sucked.

Also, I'd be surprised if we are out of there in 18 months.

We killed Saddam in Dec of 2006 and we still have troops in Iraq. How is the death of Osama gonna speed things up? We have to restore a functional gov't first.

[ClassWarrior]

18. Always some excuse to postpone withdrawal preparations, isn't there?

:eyes:

NGU.

[progressoid]

19. I'd love for us to do an about-face and get out.

My nephew just finished a year tour there. And I don't want him or anyone else to go back.

But we are so deep into this clusterfuck, I just don't see it happening in the near future.

[ClassWarrior]

20. How about seeing preparations begin to happen now, no matter...

...when "it" ends up happening in the future?

NGU.

[progressoid]

21. That would be great!

I vote for now. But the administration's preparations are for the year 2014.
