| 120. The innate corruption in the Afghan Government |
|
will not be resolved anytime soon if ever. Obama's final decision must be taking that into consideration. There are less than
one hundred Al Qaeda left in Afghanistan so what are we fighting for? I pray Obama has the courage to cut our losses and
bring our troops home. There is nothing to prove, nothing to win and a great deal to lose if we stay.
