Mr. President: Get us out of of Afghanistan, Libya, and Iraq NOW.
That'll save us gazillions (literally) of dollars.

We can't afford it. Remember?

Get us out. Now. TODAY. Quit pissing good money after bad.

1. He can't. He doesn't have 60 votes and Republicans are mean.

3. I'm tired of being the world's policeman.
Since we obviously can't afford it. Screw everybody else. If they can't take care of tehmselves, it MUST be because they're lazy. That's what they tell US.

4. At least those three are all going in the right direction
...the Iraq war is done and we're about out, Afghanistan is in the draw-down phase, and Libya is going nowhere - no boots on the ground, a little logistical help, and the rest is their business.

10. Only to a two year old
People should be supporting Obama for drawing down these wars. McCain or whoever would have increased them by now.

9. Afghanistan is the longest war in US history
And we will be there for another 3 years at least according to Obama.
