Obama's Opportunity in Afghanistan
« on: May 05, 2011, 12:22:10 am »
President Obama has now gained the moral and political capital to responsibly end the U.S. military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. With an average of 30 to 50 Americans being killed each month in Afghanistan, the total will be well over 1,000 on Obama's watch if nothing is done. In addition to saving lives, removing 60,000 troops from Afghanistan in 2011-12 would also save about $70 billion a year in tax dollars.

The targeted killing of Osama bin Laden is powerful evidence that terrorist threats, both real and hypothetical, can be more effectively suppressed by special-forces operations than by deploying hundreds of thousands of American soldiers on the ground.

I think the Donald has investigators trying to confirm the fact they are related.
