I'll second that question Waynet. The primary thrust of the President's speech was that we believe that continued nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan is an inappropriate and unnecessary continuing priority and that we need to begin to invest here at home, addressing the problems of the American public.
So what's wrong with that? What would you do DK? Again, what is wrong with the plan and priorities that President Obama outlined in his speech? What did you say in your original post...?

...seems like thinly-veiled criticism, but no alternative ideas. Pretty par for the course
