To me, Code Pink is Iraq, not Afg. where we should have been in the first place

Afghanistan is a different situation. I guess we'll just have to see how it plays out. I'm not sure more troops in that "country" is the answer. There is a lot at stake. If we are seen more and more as an occupying force it might go downhill fast. The Taliban is seen as the home team to a lot of Afghans. I just hope there is some kind of plan.

Good for Obama.. right decision IMO. listen to the guy in charge over there and do what is right for the situation. It only took 3 months but hey, he cant say he rushed the decision!

Yes Obama and Bush neck and neck with Hoover so far.

Yea, plan should be to find them, and send Daisycutter 1 ...send Daisycutter 2.......send Daisycutter #103. Either do that, or get out. Stop wasting decent people's lives (and $) on that trash. Killing one roach at a time is not gunna solve it. Nobody has ever won there doing that. You never finish something with people this uncivilized. You contain them. This is pest control. Spray, set traps etc.
