The Phony Pullout From Afghanistan

Fight For the Yankee Dollar

By Eric Margolis

The war in Afghanistan has been lost. Why are we still there?

Beaufort Observer

Never have so many given so much, for so little. And they call it Enduring Freedom. That is the Barack Obama legacy in Afghanistan. More Americans have died in the awful place since Obama promised to end that war than have died under any other president. Ponder that statement. And then ask yourself if George W. Bush, or any Republican for that matter, had the same record what would the Elite Media in this country be doing?
