Well, here is how to cover the war: The Democrats claim that health care reform pays for itself by more people having insurance, thus more have access to preventative medicine. In turn, billions of would-be health expenses that the nation has now due to an uninsured population, would vanish in coming years. Using this thinking, Afghanistan pays for itself. How? By crushing the Taliban and the terrorists, the United States will prevent a lot of instability in the region and terror attacks worldwide, thus sparing the Treasury billions in future war costs, in addition to the fact the in times of peace and stability, world economies can grow strong, thus bringing in more money to the Treasury.

Bingo!

Barack McNamara has decided to punish America and our military by denying the forces necessary ... the 2,000 troops a months over 18 months is a joke ,, more than that it’s a slap in the face to our troops ,, having Barack make war decisions is like asking my sister to change the cylinder heads on my car... two choices here..

1.) pull out asap
2.) change the roe and kill every enemy we come across and anyone that so much as gives them a bottle of water ... then leave.
