This week, Bob Woodward
reported that President Obama is "psychologically" out of Afghanistan. Good to hear. Unfortunately, a soldier who's only out of Afghanistan psychologically but not physically can still get killed. And many will. So Obama needs to match the physical with the psychological and bring our troops home. If he does, he'll have the backing of the American people: a new poll
shows that nearly six in 10 Americans oppose the war in Afghanistan. At a time when so many are suffering here at home, we're spending $2.6 billion a week on a war of choice -- propping up a corrupt regime. In the process, we are killing civilians, strengthening the Taliban, and making us all less secure by losing the hearts and minds of the Muslim world. Talk about perverted priorities. It's time to bring that money home and do some nation building here in America.
