General McCrystal how did you manage to say all those things about people you should be reporting to? President Obama I think that this war in Afghanistan has been sucking the life blood out of taxpayers and americans standard of living. At the end of this year unless there is dramatic change for the positive then please get out of that place. I once read an article referring to Afghanistan as a place that empires go to die. I sure hope America does not allow herself to have that happen. Those people are trixters and from Karzi down seem to want a easy way to get US dollars. Taxpayers or should I say I am tired, of all the taxes I have paid and life in America is becoming worse not because of President Obama but rather because of all the wars that continue. I sincerely hope that all these things will cease soon. President Obama I continue to pray for you and your family, and I am delighted that VP Byden is who he is.

Afghanistan– "the place where 'empires' go to die." Interesting concept/theory. America and its role in this part of world– a big gamble. We need to flatten the caves of the Taliban and get the heck out. Karzai cant be trusted, American dollars and lives lost, going down the drain–could be for nothing. Yet, want to give Obama a chance to get this 'right'
Unlike what Michael Steele thinks, this was Bush's war.
