Great Speech.

Can't disagree. What was said largely reflects my own view on it.

We are not the policemen of the world.

Let's see how long it lasts.

Neo-con heads with vested interests in war incorporated are definitely going to explode, though.

I imagine the steady stream of fear porn will start immediately. The sob stories will also likely start up, given 9/11 is around the corner.

They're gonna lay it on thick, 24/7 terrorvision, no doubt.

The praise has begun already.

Can't disagree.

We are not the policemen of the world.

It was a good recovery. You can't stay there forever.

Although, I don't see why keeping 2,500 soldiers there was such a big deal. If it was a deterrent in keeping Afghanistan free.

20 years, a fucked up situation. Ugly and costly. But it's over. No winners.

Oh there are winners. The Taliban, China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan, probably in that order.

This is a president. Even long-time Republican strategists know it and appreciate it.

It's great to have an honest president again.

Freedom and Liberty must be fought for
The Afghans wanted us to do it for them

If they are not willing to fight for their freedom, neither should we
