Reply #55: Because, as many here have pointed out

We cannot abandon the soldiers who are already there. This of course, sucks, I want them out yesterday too, but when the chimp is threatening not to feed and house soldiers properly if he doesn't get his way, we are over a barrel- Blackmail, yes, but we are obviously not in a position yet to change that.

Like many other 'psychic' americans Obama knew the war was the wrong thing to do. He, like us, was in no position to stop it from happening. The unfortunate thing is that there are thousands of Americans stuck in that hellhole, and thousands who have returned who need to be taken care of. The spending bills have been linked with care for the troops. Those congresspeople voting for those bills have no choice, they must feed the beast to keep our soldiers supplied and alive. But SOME voted for the original war, and SOME voted for Kyl-Liberman. And I do not forgive those, especially since they never apologize. (cough*Hillary*cough)

Hillary and Mc Cain have shown no interest in getting this shit over with, Obama has.
