President Obama, it is time to face the facts: Afghanistan is an unwinnable war, not worth more American lives. We will never win in any typical sense, and the cost in lives and treasure is too heavy to bear, particularly when other NATO nations are unwilling to take a heavier burden in that war that was lost by George W. Bush by his obsession with Iraq. The American people want out, and they are right!
Your vice president, Joe Biden, is an expert on foreign policy, and he knows that escalating involvement in this war will doom your administration and add tremendously to the national debt. It will doom your domestic reform plans, which are urgently needed.
Do not go down the road of Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and George W. Bush. Do not sacrifice our youth on wars that cannot be won. Work on intelligence, aerial bombing of key sites, and drones to deal with the threat, and spend more on homeland security and building up our defense structure, which is weakened by these endless wars that cannot be won.
Joe Biden is right! You made him your Vice President! Now listen to him and follow his lead, as he knows what is best! Be smarter and wiser than other Presidents! Do not let GOP attacks deter you, as they do not wish you well in any form, and were you to stay in Afghanistan, they would still condemn you!
Do what is best for America, and PLEASE listen to Joe Biden!
Professor,
This is what scares me a bit. He said “We will end this war” yet now…is not following through with that bold statement. Biden gets it…he wants us the hell outta there. As mentiond in another posting this and the economy are why I voted for this man (the other promises and parades were not important for me).
Obama, it’s simple, do what you said you would do – end this war – bring our young men and women home – cause if you don’t…..I will not be voting for you again. Take your time on the economy (a much tougher puzzle to figure out) but this needs to be DONE NOW!
