I blame Obama, even more then Bush- because Obama promised us world peace and won the nobel peace prize even.

Hunky dont you ever read anything other than your conspiracy shit ? Obama has set a date for pulling troops from Afghanistan, he has already announced a steady pull out ( No sniggering girls ) Add to that the US have pulled out most of the troops they had in Iraq. How the hell is Obama to blame, given he didnt start either conflict ?

He pulled troops out of Iraq on the the Bush/Petraeus timetable, and he escalated Afghanistan because of a bullshit campaign promise. Now he's pulling out on a timetable the General's believe leave the remaining troops at risk. All politics. Scumbag-in-Chief.

Its okay to be pissed because he has done what Bush failed to do, including kill Bin Laden. Just breath deeply and the pain will pass.
