9. I heard him at the time
I don't see where understanding what the candidate said at the time and desiring to end the war against the people of Afghanistan are incompatible. He said that at that time he would have done it, but what about now? Things have changed wildly on the ground. Even if he had said he was going to stay in Iraq he would have been better than bomb-bomb Iran dude, right.

Pro-Peace people have an obligation to stand up and decry war as a criminal enterprise that enriches the makers of death machines. That's not to say we don't love our president, we just want to make sure he has our perspective on war, also. It's the least we can do - silence is consent.
