Razortine Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - nice

hbreitman Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - Right on!

RuflessRecords Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - Democrats before they were elected.... "Man you put us in office, we're going gung-ho in Afghanistan, we don't like Iraq, but man Afghanistan, we're gonna fight like crazy rar rar rar!" 10 months after they win Congress and the Presidency "stop this endless war" "why are we fighting" "let's pull all our troops out". Lies to get elected and shore up their traditional national security weakness, dropped as soon as they got back in control.

rruppena Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - This is music to my ears! Get out of Afghanistan!

mazzarellisteve Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - And the question is where has this money gone?

MichaelPDA Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Can you explain why endlessly occupying Afghanistan is in our national security interest? And, what is our goal there? These need to be clearly explained

avaistheone Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Stop the insanity! U.S. out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

angelica14709 Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Thank you Eric. Amen

Nov 7, 2009 - Idiots ! Withdraw the troops ? Now ? The U.S. have established a climate of hate and violence there, without any possibility of peaceful self-government of those peoples in that region. If they withdraw their troops by now, then u can be sure, that islamic fanatics overtake power in the whole region ! Idiots.

xxRoemerxx Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - The U.S. never should have engaged there. Now its too late. Although S. Hussain was a dictator his dictatorship was A LOT better than that what will come in the future. btw.. I didn t want to call some of you idiots. It was adressed to those who began this silly war. Thats why i repeat it: IDIOTS !

anavaman Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - The war of Afghanistan is UNWINABLE. There is civil war going on there. Very nice conclusion: "Why should American soldiers should die for a cause for which even native afghans don't want to ..."

NShutterbug Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - You're confusing Afghanistan and Iraq.

wiselionman Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - No RuflesRecords, we Democrats were NOT gung-ho about Afghansistan. We want the troops out then, and we want the troops out NOW.

ryanshaunkelly Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - Secret overnight BUSH Family visit to Fort Hood ~ Concern MIL will turn on AIPAC Neocons and Wall Street/ Our military understands they have been deceived. Whistle-blowers and leaks will not be blacklisted. Loud chicken-hawks hide behind the troops. News blackout while lies are fabricated. Wall Street not-Federal no-Reserve. Israel-first dual-national AIPAC. Mossad media megaphone. Official 9/11 propaganda. Anthrax intimidation. Stealth cia neocons

xxRoemerxx Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - Do you really think that the war on Iraq and the war on Afghanistan are 2 different wars ? You know about the power of the islamic forces in Pakistan. If we can trust the different rumours from there the pakistani government is close to collapse. Can u imagine what could happen if the islamic forces could unite from the indian border to Iraq ? i am not sure but maybe it could be the end of the supremacy of the U.S. Israel in the arab region.

xxRoemerxx Says:

Nov 8, 2009 - ...To point out the meaning of my last comment: I think the U.S. troops in Afghanistan are just an outpost to secure U.S. troops in Iraq.

timray99 Says:

Nov 9, 2009 - Obama lied, soldiers died....someone take this guy out back and .......

Rye1761 Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - This a brave man. He was elected in one of the most Republican districts in the northeastern US. He speaks his conscience, and echos the beliefs of intelligent voters who think for themselves, who turn off the right wing hate machine and war mongering. Thank you, Rep. Massa!!

OverXn Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - This congressman is right why should the US engage in nation building in Afghanistan when the locals are not interested in it themselves. The US does not want to "lose" the war in Afghanistan but come on even Alexander the Great abandoned his campaign in Afghanistan.

OverXn Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - It has come out that Hussein lied about WMDs, chemical weapons and all that stuff because he was more afraid of Iran than the West.

simply2ghetto Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - US never tried any 'nation building' because they never have and never will care about the ordinary Afghani

jackooboy1 Says:

Nov 17, 2009 - Bring them home.

daveswagon Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - Now THAT'S a speech.

auralanjuhl Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - Heroic speech, enough is enough indeed.
