HOPE FADES

HOPE FADESPosted by: DavidLSmith"U.S. Will Be Out of Afghanistan By 2017 - White House" Reuters November 25,...
The Reuters headline of November 25 reads: "U.S. Will Be Out Of Afghanistan By 2017 -- White House." 2017?? This is the change, the hope for peace Obama promised? By 2017 we will have occupied Afghanistan for 16 pointless years.
As Obama prepares to commit the U.S. to more lives and countless billions of dollars wasted (reportedly $1 million annually per pair of 'boots on the ground') for up to 8 more years in Afghanistan, what do we tell the millions of Americans bankrupted, unemployed, homeless and the one American household in seven having difficulty feeding themselves? Thanksgiving turkey this year comes seasoned with bitter herbs indeed.
