During the Bush presidency, the Dems used Afghanistan to attack the Iraq War.
We were told that Afghanistan was the place to fight, the source of 9-11 and the war worth fighting. We know now that they were just "words", or calculated remarks intended to attack Pres Bush and promote the idea that the Dems were not soft against terrorism.

"Four years ago, when then-Sen. Barack Obama was campaigning for president, he said of Afghanistan: This is "a war that we have to win."
He also claimed, "The Afghan people must know that our commitment to their future is enduring because the security of Afghanistan and the United States is shared.""
He also said that he'd close GITMO, change the Bush anti-terror policies, cut the debt in half and fight for immigration reform!
We can say this: Pres BO was never really serious about Afghanistan. It was an election sound bite.
We are now in a horrible situation in Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by Afghan security guards. The Afghan street is no better than before. We are spending millions and getting no respect from Pres Karsai. (Read his statement)
Last, but not least, Pres BO never explained to the American people what our mission was, or the reason for staying in.
It's time to change our strategy from a heavy "foot print" to attacking & killing terrorists.
Afghan nation building is not worth another life or dollar. The Afghans are not capable of appreciating the sacrifice that we've made for them. Check out our conversation with Bill Katz of Urgent Agenda:
