American populace not happy about Afghanistan

Obama needs to pull out of Afghanistan

Pundits would say we’re only in Afghanistan for the reason of national security.  But is there truth to that?  They would also like to attack the very nature of why we are in Afghanistan in the first place. They look to arguments that deal with the U.S. is attacking Al-Qaeda with ferocious intensity.  If the U.S. was to pull out of Afghanistan it would cause massive instability within the country.

            Bin laden was found and killed.  The war in Afghanistan has taken a large toll on not just the U.S. soldiers but the world in general.  More, than 1,964 American service men and women have lost their lives in the conflict. Not only this, the economic toll staggering costing the U.S. over $527 billion.  What is not that shocking is the non-favoritism from the American people regarding the Afghan war. 

·         According to Joe Glenton of Stop the War Coalition,  NATO is a big problem.

·         According to Anne Gearan of the Huffington Post/AP, the favoritism for the war in Afghanistan is very low. She said that there was a poll done and of the poll just about 66 percent wanted the U.S. out of Afghanistan.

·          According to ABC News , correspondent Gary Langer said that roughly 60 percent don’t favor the war. And another 30% don’t really even see why we’re truly there.

            So what is the closing opinion?  Well, as stated for quite some time the vote to stay in Afghanistan is unpopular. Furthermore, it behooves us as Americans to consider what we’re doing in Afghanistan. The bottom line is we need to pull our troops out of Afghanistan.
