...on Foreign Policy. It is a policy to undo the damage done by Bush/Cheney with 'pre-emptive war', to define what our values are, and to re-establish US leadership in the international community.

I hope...before dissing Democratic leaders...we will all read the full speeches/statements.

The reality is it takes a long time to end a war. Obama and Kerry are doing that. They did not start wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...but they are trying to end them. Troops in Afghanistan are going down to below 10000 this year and to half that by 2016.

That is what many here wanted Obama to do and he and his administration are doing that. The money is to stabilize the region. It was BUSH who destabilized it in March, 2003.
