House Passes $649B Defense Spending Bill

defense spending is part of the reason why this country is going down the tubes. It's truly out of control. The Irony is, everyone knows a bankrupt country can't fight a war no matter what reason.

If that is the intent then we will be fighting for a long long time seeing as there are something like 1 billion Muslims in the world and they and it is a fastest growing and has been since it started.

What you mean to say is: "There are a lot of a certain type of Muslim to kill but it is very difficult to not upset most of the other ones in each given country and therefore gain more enemies or defeat them at all when we tell them the date that we will be leaving and the very weak side that we picked to control the country will be on there own."

I dont see what good this does the troops risking their lives right now in Afghanistan when the Taliban knows that we will be leaving in 2014.

The same thing happened in Vietnam we told the North when we where leaving and after that they simply waited.
