A new national poll indicates that support among Americans for the war in Afghanistan has hit a new low.
56% in US now oppose occupation.

We all know Iraq was a waste of trillons ( but has 2nd biggest oil reserves to Saudi Arabia ) but Afghanistan is also a waste for reason below on the flip.
Hello Pres. Obama as your approval sinks to 50%
Superb spot on post!
Afghanistan - a war for oil and gas pipelines

We are not in Afghanistan for any of the following reasons
- Helping the children
- Helping the women
- Stopping the heroin
- Fighting terrorism
- Stopping terrorism in the UK
It is total hypocrisy to say the UK and US are in Afghanistan to 'fight islamic extremism and Al Qaeda' when Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda and the Taliban were all creations of the CIA during the Afghan War against the Russians.
The US created the Taliban and sponsored its growth, long enough for it to grow to such a size that it then gave the US the opportunity to invade Afghanistan and take control of the country under the pretext of 'fighting Islamic terrorism'.
If it wasnt for the US there would be no Islamic extremists undertaking terrorism - as the US built up those terrorist groups, funded and armed them.
There is in fact two reasons why we are in Afghanistan, and why British soldiers are dying, and that is for ;
- Oil
- Gas
They lied to get us into Iraq and they are lying now about why we went into Afghanistan.
Your move Pres. Obama as this country has more pressing problems and is going to hell in a handbasket!
