Less than 200 al-Qaeda have remained in Afghanistan following 13 years of America’s longest war. Karzai’s corruption is endemic as Afghanistan returned to the globes top supplier of heroin during our tenure there. The sooner the USA leaves the better.

You state, “How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?” Obamski does it over and over with our Border Agents.

Half of the 9,800 troops will be out of Afghanistan by the end of 2015 and those troops that remain are scheduled to exit the country by the end of 2016. Surveillance via armed U.S. drones can keep any enemies at bay without requiring our boots on the ground.
