Now that Osama Bin Laden is Gone..can we pull troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq?

[KoKo]

It sure would help our Deficit and keep SS and Medicaid/Medicare from getting the Axe.

What do you all think? Should we now be SERIOUS about Pulling Troops Out. Isn't WAR OVER? Osama Bin Laden is Dead... Time to move on to Fixing things Here in America?


Or...do we stay to catch the next participants who the MSM says worked with Bin Laden? Is that worth it? To keep us safe?

1. Nope. The Democrats will say they can't be seen as soft on terra

OH NOES!!!1!11 Not during campaign season!!!!

Although you'll need to forget that they grabbed the 2006 midterms by being antiwar

See how that works?

:crazy:

2. Yes.... Let's have the audacity to bring them all home.

3. I think it will be status quo, with the success of the OBL raid

as a justification to keep doing what we're doing. There is no indication that we will end combat in Afghanistan for at least 3-4 more years.

We launched new drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan since OBL's killing.

We are signing contracts to hire overpaid war mercenaries as a private army to protect our ever-expanding embassy in Iraq.

I also expect we'll claim a further right to strike anywhere, anytime and on anyone we label as a terrorist or potential terrorist. Our war knows no bounds.

4. We should pull the troops but we won't n/t

5. The reality is the longer we "fight terrorism" the more terrorist we will make.

6. Yes please!

The only ones who will be upset are defense contractors.

Listening to the GOP primary debate I heard some pretty loud cheers for the idea of bringing the troops home.

We have to ask - if not now, when?

[Thrill]

7. I think that was supposed to start in July anyway

8. Do you think he can "hold to it" or will Libya, Yemen, Syria..cause him to

hold tight to do other raids..that may be justified..but might cause some "Blow Back?"

What do you think?
