Time to get American troops out of Afghanistan
Now that Gen. Stanley McChrystal has been dismissed for insubordination the President should, after nine years of sacrificing hundreds of American lives and billions of dollars for a corrupt government and a bunch of warlords, declare "victory" like Bush did in Iraq and get out of Afghanistan. It is a quagmire that is needlessly destroying lives and our economy. In the end, it will be the same as when we invaded just like it was for the Russians before us!
