Biden and Obama unequivocatingly stating EVERYONE will be out.
You are dismissed.
Not going to answer the question?
I don't give a crap about the politics, we're wasting time, money, and lives over there. Can't see any benefits for us that is worth it.
Personally? I agree with you.
Afghanistan's a rock. Nothing there.
U.S. Identifies Vast Mineral Riches in Afghanistan - NYTimes.comThe United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials.
The previously unknown deposits including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithium are so big and include so many minerals that are essential to modern industry that Afghanistan could eventually be transformed into one of the most important mining centers in the world, the United States officials believe.
An internal Pentagon memo, for example, states that Afghanistan could become the Saudi Arabia of lithium, a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and BlackBerrys.
The vast scale of Afghanistans mineral wealth was discovered by a small team of Pentagon officials and American geologists. The Afghan government and President Hamid Karzai were recently briefed, American officials said.
While it could take many years to develop a mining industry, the potential is so great that officials and executives in the industry believe it could attract heavy investment even before mines are profitable, providing the possibility of jobs that could distract from generations of war.

So, you think maybe we're leaving troops in Afghanistan that might help us make some money in mining? If true, all I can think of is Dick Cheney, how will the left be able to blame this on him?

I am bashing Obama for lying, its just that simple.
You haven't proven he was lying. Changing your mind isn't lying.
Um, yes...yes it is.
He made a campaign promise, he broke it...he lied.
Sorry.
He lied, deal with it.
So, if a commander makes a recommendation, that should not have influence on the President. I suspect you would have not given The Supreme Warlord this grief over Iraq in 2007.
What will happen is this. NATO and the USA will not agree to the Status of Force agreements Afghanistan will want: namely, to try NATO and American soldiers in Afghani courts for crimes against Afghani citizens.
The same thing happened with Iraq and we brought our troops home.

He's listening to his military advisers. Are they lying? If Bush had listened to his, this war would probably be long over.
You mistakenly assume I agreed with the way Bush handled the wars.
Then why are you bashing Obama for listening to advice from his generals?
Konrad, you are the definition of stupid.
Konrad, you are the definition of stupid.
Amazing isn't it?
Jake, the thread isn't about commander recommendations, its about Obama lying...which as I have shown in his own words he did.
A) We still have forces in Iraq
B) Both wars have been mishandled and we should just drop everything and bring the forces home.
