I want nothing more than to see all the soldiers home safe and sound of mind and body. My son will be over there next year. I can’t help but think if we end this would our recession be over. I try not to think about my son over there but it brings tears to my eyes. I just want him home safe.

It’s time to get out.

It is more than time for us to be puling out of each place! We never should have gone into Iraq in the first place. And Afghanistan is no-win. Lets spend some of those dollars on peaceful measures.

I am against the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, in which we’ve spent a lot money. All these countries hate Israel, which is loyal to the USA. I do not know why we trust these countries....Open your eyes, do not trust them because they hate us.

Get out of Afghanistan!

9/11 was an inside job to validate invading Iraq and a continued occupation of Afghanistan. The military/defense/security contractors have made billions on the backs of taxpayers. That was the plan.

This war is mainly being waged for the benefit of US, British, and Norwegian oil companies who wish to build a gas pipeline from India through Pakistan and Afghanistan to the second largest natural gas fields in the world in Turkmenistan. The Taliban prior to 9/11 had negotiated with these companies but wanted more revenue for allowing the pipeline than the oil companies were willing to pay. This is the major motivation for what in truth is another energy war, as is Iraq.
US out of Iraq and Afghanistan Now! Soldiers and workers, unite against imperialist war! Smash the capitalist war on terror against the working class!

If we pull our troops out now, it would represent that the Taliban and terrorists have gained control. It would mean that the men and women who served our country and died fighting for our freedom died in futility. We will never have a peaceful world as John Lennon and Woodstock represented the Viet Nam war.

We did not start the fight in Afghanistan but the U.S. must stand its ground or else the terrorists will keep coming after us.
No, we have no business in Iraq and the U.S. needs to pull out.
