Wow. I am surprised this got done. I really thought we had overstayed our welcome.
Maybe events in Iraq changed their mind? We were supposed to have a continuing presence in Iraq but at the last minute it collapsed under Hillary. Now they are having a civil war and I think Al Maliki wishes we would come back.

It's not a done deal yet, it's still being debated and the terms being modified. It's the perfect time to write your rep and tell them this sucks ass and we don't want to be staying and funneling billions more there.

I wonder if Obama will elaborate on this deal in one of his next speeches? Probably not.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Wait... I'm confused... didn't President Obama promise "If you want to get out of Afghanistan I will keep us out of Afghanistan."

Jay Carney is already downplaying the news in his daily press conference, saying US troops will not be patroling in the mountains nor cities.

Has anyone told him about it yet? 'Cause I'm thinking it will be just another thing he "didn't know about".

:yeahthat: Good point, I forgot his only job is to campaign and divide... that info is surely above his pay grade.

If it happens in our representative govt, it is because the people wanted it.....or they were just too busy to care. Either way....we let them war with whoever they want...oh yeah and spend whatever they want on it.
