Mr. President, this is the Talisman you need to pull our troops out out of Afghanistan

[Keith Bee]

Fuck Hitchens, fuck Kristol, fuck Krauthammer, fuck the GOP and all branches of the Great Wingnuttery: When these laptop bombardiers start bitching about the withdrawal, take this and beat their stupid heads with it.

You made a gutsy call, sending in the Seals instead of just bombing the shit out of bin Laden's compound. Now, I would ask you to make an even MORE courageous decision. al Qaeda has long been dead in Afghanstan, and now, with bin Laden's death, the mission (which was and is not fighting the Taliban or building a nation) is complete. Time for our guys and gals to come home.

1. Bring them home now.

Mission accomplished.

2. To be fair... isn't this what he was planning anyways? We have a scheduled calldown

Not an immediate pullout of everyone. But a significant reduction.

3. Why wait?

Look, the Taliban is an asshole organization, and yes, there's a good chance that it will return to power when we leave. But that will happen anyway, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now, a DECADE from now! Why keep shedding American blood in a country that will NEVER be a democracy?
