The situation in Afghanistan is a double-edged sword. If we leave, Al Qaeda comes back and could set up a base to attack us. If we stay, we will be in a never-ending war.

So you are condoning hasty, rash decisions that will send us into the hole even further and will further trash our country in the eyes of other countries.

Great. I like it.

An excellent plan if you really want us all to get killed.

So in your opinion it seems we traded a reactionary for a staller. 6 of one 1/2 a dozen of the other. This is totally off topic but maybe it should be a separate debate.

Papadawg, who do you feel was the last great president America had?

Here's the problem, Jared. When 9/11 happened GWB made a decision almost immediately.

When the commanders on the ground in Iraq wanted a troop surge, GWB did not wait six to nine months while 300 "advisers" mulled over the idea before he made a decision. Yes, I had the same attitude toward GWB back then.

GWB failed to secure our borders and BHO still has not done so either.

Until we get a POTUS who will do the job right I will hold the same attitude.

Anyone who blindly follows any politician like he is some messiah will get neither liberty or freedom!

Did you have this same attitude towards Bush when he was President?

There is no job to finish. Once all the troops leave, Afghanistan will crumble.

Well if Afghanistan does crumble, then they didn't do the job.
