Let's get the hell out of dodge. I'm so tired of this war. It's ridiculous. For some reason, the Republicans are all happy about spending our money in a different country but try to get health care reform passed and OH NO THE SKY IS FALLING!
Who's going to pay for it?
Hey Joe, I see a pattern

Most of those terrorists were trained, given sanctuary by and recieved financial assistance from Iran, Afghanistan and Syria. I see a pattern as well.
Personally, I think we should have started on The West Bank and went East, stopping at the Indian border.
What about Egypt?
I was thinking about cutting Egypt and Turkey some slack, but if they wanted to step out of line, we can kick their asses, too.
Joe, you are making the same mistake that Bush made when it came to Iraq.
There were elements of the Saudi royalty that financed the N.G.O currently known as Al Qaida, but this was at the time when the United States partnered with Saudi Arabia, and Pakistani ISI in order to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
Saudi royalty now has a very serious problem with Bin Laden (don't forget that Bin Laden's biggest disappointment and what ultimately led to him turning against his home was that Saudi Arabia didn't trust Bin Laden).
A.Q. detests the Saudi crown. They see them (as they see most of the Middle-East) as "not Islamic enough".
These funds that are reaching Bin Laden, and the 9/11 Hijackers are from private accounts-- Saudi citizens are more wealthy than many other citizens in the Middle-East.
There's friction between the Kingdom and Wahabism (I have personal experience with Saudi diplomats rejecting the term altogether).
So tell me honestly which would really make more difference, invading a country that harbored a few terrorists and killing them, or invading the country that funds terrorism and whose Wasabi sect builds America-hating madrasas all over the world?
Yea, it would be much better if he just retreated like a coward from a war of necessity.
I support you Mr. President! Win this war!
Time to get out those "I Support The President and Our Troops" stickers again?

Unless he's got some master development plan to overhaul COIN in Afghanistan, this is going to be a waste of time.
Good speech, Mr. President. Some things I could have done without but the overall tone was good enough. I don't like the time-table, but that's not set in stone...

Do what you want. I'll be supporting our President in his efforts to defend the United States from its enemies.
Yea, we'll see. I have faith in our military.
Unless he plans on neutralizing the enemy, nothing will change.
