“Conservatives Rip Obama’s Afghanistan Timetable: ‘Act of Personal Narcissism’ “

It pales in comparison to his comment that the troops were fighting for HIM (the Nobel Peace Prize winner).

“Is that how we’re now setting the strategy of the United States in a war zone, where so many have died and so much treasure and blood has been spent - so a president can leave office looking good?”

yes

and it’s not the first time in modern history

A total of 2,320 American troops, along with another 1,100 from Britain and other contributing nations, have been killed in Afghanistan since U.S.-led forces launched the operation in October 2001 to oust the Taliban.

Since 2001 more Americans have been killed in the Democrat run city of Detroit. We should relocate the entire city's residents to Afghanistan for their personal safety.

If we’re walking away, why not today? If it is not worth dying for in 2016, it’s not worth dying for today. Why risk one more soldiers life?

If/when we go to war in the future, we must declare war and our intentions should be to take the spoils of that war. Anything less is just politics.

"against the remnants of al-Qaeda"

Sorry, if it wasn't so depressing, that would be funny, right there.

Sadly, under this vile POS, the chart for soldier deaths is the exact opposite; 75% of all KIAs occured under the pile of garbage passing as a CIC.

The GOP House should just defund the operations in Afghanistan as of 10/1/14 for the next fiscal year.

There are no gains in Afghanistan after 13 years, and the opium crop is bigger than ever.

Not one more American soldier should die there.
