The Washington Post says that you and your military commanders disagree on the size of the troop withdrawal this summer. The Petraeus Gang, in effect, does not want to withdraw anyone. You need not fight them, you are Commander-in-Chief. If they do not agree with you they can assume their new post in East Elephantbreath, Montana or begin to enjoy their retirement.
The easy way is to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and order them to bring everyone home with all deliberate speed. You can do it sir, you are the President.

Thanks in part to your unfortunate habit of caving in to Republicans before negotiations begin, the Republicans have now demanded that you pass a Balanced Budget Amendment before they will raise the debt ceiling. What a fine pickle you have gotten yourself into. There is an easy way out of this. You, as Commander in Chief with access to all information, need only declare that we have won in Afghanistan and you are bringing everybody home. That way you can bring Gen. Petraeus home so you can name him head of the CIA (Bad Idea!) and not have to name some loser to replace him.

The news reports of the Stryker Brigade "Kill Teams" are your My Lai Moment. You have the choice of letting the moral deterioration of our Armed Forces continue like a cancer unchecked or you end your shitty little war now and bring them home to rehabilitate those who can still be saved. The first choice involves a coverup and prosecution of the low level troops. The second requires an honest admission that the rot has entered our military and needs to be treated.
Which way will you go Mr. President?

It was a wise man who said, "When the most powerful country ever to inhabit the earth finds it so easy to plunge into the horror of warfare but almost impossible to find adequate work for its people or to properly educate its young, it has lost its way entirely." Mr. President it is time for you to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. And you should question deeply the motives of anyone who tells you the war must continue.

Another day another news report of NATO forces killing Afghan civilians. No one likes doing this so why don't you just declare and end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan. Let Karzai and the Taliban kill Afghans instead of us doing it. It comes naturally to them and we have no business coming between brothers trying to kill each other.

You have sided with them by keeping them out of jail, now a real leader would make them pay dearly for that benefice. But I forget. If you were a real leader you would have ended your shitty little war in Afghanistan long before now.

Have you noticed how quickly you, personally and as part of the American power structure, will blow the crap out of other people yet you find it nearly impossible to provide succor and comfort to your fellow citizens. So easily do we spend $100 Million and more a week to blow up Libyans but you can not find the funds for LIHEAP, MEDICAID, Title X, SNAP and other programs that serve your own people. End your shitty little war in Afghanistan, bring ALL the troops home and turn the United States from a a country of War to a country of Compassion. The kind of country we were meant to be.

Now that Karzai of the Afghans has indicated the first seven areas to be turned over to Afghan control, I hope that when you do so you will consider the transfers as final with no returns. Despite what your Gen Petraeus may wish, DO NOT return to those areas under any circumstances. Mr Karzai and his family have stolen enough from the US and other donors to buy out anyone who would oppose him.
It would still be easier if you would just declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and left. You do not have the moral deficiency needed to continue pushing American exceptionalism.

I should think that Gov Walker of Wisconsin has shown clearly what a disaster arises from taking away from people what they rightly believe they have paid for. The Republicans only want to destroy the program and too many Democrats are easily bamboozled to rely on them. Now is the time to show firm leadership and take Social Security off the table. And while you are showing firm leadership, end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. You need the money for your shitty little war in Libya.

It is not a good sign that you have begun a new "military mission" with no exit strategy. As you have shown with your shitty little war in Afghanistan, you are not able to recognize when there is no longer any possibility of a positive outcome. Even when others made the end of George W's shitty little war in Iraq clear, you weren't able to say, OK everybody out. Instead you drag your feet and look for a reason to hang around a few years longer.
Mr. President, you are almost as bad as Bloody Billy Kristol in wanting to get other people killed.

Oh, and don't forget to get everyone out of Iraq as well. You do empire as poorly as the idiot before you.

I see that you plan to "punish" the banks for the Great Mortgage Fraud by forcing principal reductions. But you left out the most important part, where are the criminal charges? Instead you are leaving in charge the same people who created the fraud in the first place. Where is the justice for those who have had their homes stolen from them?
Your strange inability to make the right choice probably explains why you continue to torture Pvt Bradley Manning without charges and you have yet to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan.
Your time in office has left you ethically challenged and morally bereft, sir.

Chinless Mitch McConnell has threatened not to increase the debt ceiling if you do not present a credible plan for deficit reduction. You have to call his bluff on this or he will change his demands every time you say yes. Mr. President you need to present a program of deep cuts in corporate welfare subsidies and tax increases to the wealthy like yourself and Chinless Mitch. This would be what the majority of voters call "shared sacrifice". Poor Chinless Mitch's screams of pain would expose his hypocrisy for all the voters to see. It would involve getting your people on the Sunday Bobblehead shows for a period of weeks but it would be worth it.
There is one other thing you can do to ease the deficit. You can end your shitty little war in Afghanistan and stop the waste of lives and tax dollars that we can not afford.

Once upon a time we had a presidential candidate named Barack Obama who promised, if workers rights were ever threatened, he would march with the workers. Now we have a President Obama who won't even let one of his lesser officials show support for oppressed workers. Shame on you Mr President.
You are the one who has let the Republican Party grow crazy and out of control instead of crushing them and putting the whole lot in jail for their crimes. And now, as they openly attack the voter base you hope to win with in 2012, you sit and wait, Kerensky like in the White House. If you were devoting your attention to ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan that would be excusable, but you are not. You continue to let Americans die in vain, wasting $Billions for the benefit of a bunch of self-inflated fools in the Pentagon.
You can stop it if you wish.

The real question is whether that is the basic standard for torture in Bagram of Guantanamo or a more generalized Bushian standard of torture meant to apply across the government?
You do know that you can atone for your enjoyment of torturing others by simply ending your shitty little war in Afghanistan now. All those brave men and women dying on your watch are dying in vain and it need not be.

Speaking of people, I notice that more and more polls are showing a majority of people want a US withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq. Even Republicans are moving to this position. Now would be a good time to declare an end to your shitty little war in Afghanistan and preempt the upcoming Republican attack on you. It would also improve your standing with a majority of Americans, not that you care about that stuff.

Second, as a practical man you need to end your shitty little war in Afghanistan. I would not like to think that Bob Gates is right, that you need to have your head examined. Save the lives and save the money, end your shitty little war now.

That these soldiers are losing their legs and other parts for no good reason in absolutely criminal. Mr. President, end your shitty little war in Afghanistan now! Do Not Wait!

If you had declared an end to that shitty little war when you came into office the money saved would have boosted the economy to such good condition that you would have no real opposition in 2012.
You can still end your shitty little war now, we don't need to continue wasting money over there.

It is not too late to declare enough!
