You hit the nail right on the head. After more than a decade of fighting fruitless wars, the American public has figured out that we don't give a rat's arse about finding weapons of mass destruction that never existed, trying to democratize people who don't want to be democratized, rebuilding countries so they can tear them down again, killing and maiming tens of thousands of American kids, and breaking our treasury in the process.

Great decision by President Obama. My guess is that were it not for about 30% of the public and the Republican-controlled Congress who would rather spend our blood and treasure that way instead of investing here at home, the POTUS would have brought our troops back home faster and sooner. We're damn lucky we don't have John McCain as POTUS. McCain--the one who admitted he didn't know much about economics--would be killing even more of our kids and driving the country off the financial cliff
even faster.

If you want to call me a liberal, leftist, dove, or whatever...have at it. What we had to do following 9/11 was correct and justified. But that was then and this is now. Circumstances clearly show our priorities should be different.
