The U.S. is NOT leaving Iraq or Afghanistan, as Obama claims
Feb. 7, 2012 - The CIA is expected to maintain a large clandestine presence in Iraq and Afghanistan long after the departure of conventional U.S. troops as part of a plan by the Obama administration to rely on a combination of spies and Special Operations forces to protect U.S. interests in the two longtime war zones, U.S. officials said (read).

“Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one creator; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.”

End the War

After 10 years in Afghanistan, our relationship with the Afghan people continues to deteriorate: Witness the massacre two weeks ago by a U.S. soldier, the burning of Korans and resulting violence, and the Taliban pulling out of peace talks. We must rethink why we're still at war. The United States has spent about $509.4 billion on the war in Afghanistan. Nearly 3,000 U.S. and coalition troops have died. Suicide, homelessness, joblessness, and mental illness are skyrocketing among our returning troops. Afghan civilian casualties, the majority caused by the Taliban and other anti-government forces, have continued to rise over the past six years, with a total of 12,793 documented deaths.
