Matthew Hoh explains why we should leave Afghanistan. Why isn't Obama listening?

2. We are fighting in an Afghanistan civil war.
3. Afghans do not want to be occupied by a central government or a
foreign Army.
3. The Taliban did not have anything to do with 9/11
4. We should not be fighting a war to change the culture in
Afghanistan. We may not approve of the way the Taliban treat women,
but that is a cultural issue.
His quote:
"However, since 9/11 al-Qaeda has evolved and no longer will tie
itself to a political state or geographical boundaries. They have
turned into an ideological cloud that exists on the internet and
recruits worldwide. Look at the makeup of the attackers for the 9/11,
London and Madrid attacks and additionally looked at where they
planned and trained for their operations. Heck, the 9/11 attackers
trained here in the US! The people we are fighting, for the most part,
in Afghanistan are fighting us because they do not want to be occupied
by either a foreign army or a central government force. Simply put, al-
Qaeda does not exist in Afghanistan and 60,000 troops with the hope of
stabilizing the Afghan central government which may or may not succeed
in 5-10 years time will not defeat al-Qaeda. "
Truth Galore
> we should leave Afghanistan. Why isn't Obama listening?
Answer - maybe he likes the taste of Halliburton Pie.
He bashed Bush for starting the war and now he smiles all the way to
the bank cashing the checks.
War - it's both bi-partisan AND profitable. For both parties.

Bush in White House = Afghanistan war good
Obama in White House = Afghanistan war bad
We understand, Queef.
