Again, Obama Will Refuse To Listen
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/abc-news-washington-post-poll-exclusive-afghanistan-war/story?id=12404367

A record 60 percent of Americans say the war in Afghanistan has not been worth fighting, a grim assessment -- and a politically hazardous one -- in advance of the Obama administration's one-year review of its revised strategy.

Public dissatisfaction with the war, now the nation's longest, has spiked by 7 points just since July. Given its costs vs. its benefits, only 34 percent in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll say the war's been worth fighting, down by 9 points to a new low, by a sizable margin.

7. The thing about timetables for withdrawl is that they never work. When our enemy's goal is just to

us fighting the war, all they really have to do is mount an offensive just before the deadline. Then the timetable gets pushed back and the Generals and the MIC start yelling "surge" again. And the enemy go back to their holes and hide until just before the new deadline.
