Bring our troops home from Afghanistan

Why Is This Idea Important?: American troops belong at home protecting our nation while we are not in a declared war.

We have not declared war on Afghanistan or the Taliban, therefore, we have not business being there. We are not the world's police force. We should not be spending money and lives on "Overseas Contingencies." This is no different than Bush's policies except for a change in terminologies. Walks like a duck, spends like a duck, it's a duck.

    The US invasion was a crime against humanity to begin with, and was based on lies and falseified intelligence. 9-11 has been proven to have been a demolition job and the airplanes that were made to crash into the WTC had nothing at all to do with the so called collapse. The demolition has been confirmed by independant scientists and architechs of the US as well as world wide.

    Article 2, section 1 of the Constitution of the United States

    Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

    If all presidents had their performance graded on how strong the American dollar was verses other countries currencies, then George W. Bush would represent the near absolute end of depravity. In other words, George W. Bush has broken his promise to preserve the value of the United States of America. George W. Bush saw his shadow and attacked with little provocation a foreign country of smaller integrity. All of his reasons for this action have turned to dust, and he keeps the military machine running with the hollow words of “stay the course”; a course of little planning, reasoning, and clear objectives.

    “There will always be half-truths and a few lies in politics, it’s the human option, but the President should be the one above it; not the center of it!” KDT

    “War is politics by another means - the lethal legacy of failed leadership, enabled, even ennobled, by propaganda, the partisan opiate of politics.”

    – Bill Moyer, May 22, 2009
