So would you rather him keep troops there spending trillions of taxpayer dollars over god know how long? Defense takes up the biggest chunk of the US budget with the Iraq and Afghan war already projected to cost 3 trillion dollars and rising. I don't care if he's just doing it for re-election, at least it's something that reduces the impact on America's already out of balance budget.

The next president damn sure had better keep us from entering another war without raising some damn taxes or else I predict we won't have a country worth protecting anymore. Just you see.
