| The Bush Dynasty started it when it illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Protesters wear US Pres. Bush and British PM Tony Blair masks and pose for the media outside the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London, shortly before the publication of the Chilcot report on the US War on Iraq, July 6, 2016. The long awaited British inquiry into the 2003 invasion of Iraq has been published. Led by former senior civil servant John Chilcot, the report took over seven years to prepare and runs over two million words. The report did not analyze the legality of the invasion but instead focused on the British decision-making process in the run up to the war in 2003 (AP). |

Sweet mouthed, war perpetuating Pres. Obama pulled the wool over everyone's eyes again today. Having said he would end the war on Afghanistan right away, he has instead carried it forward and extended it time and time again. He won't call it a "war" anymore, so the name ended.

| Keep US wars going: vote establishment! |
But the killing the US drone strikes, the invasion, the occupation, the theft and destruction, the building of bases, and the threatening of neighboring regions, all of that has continued full tilt. Why end a war so profitable to the CIA and the American military-industrial complex. It may not profit the US taxpayers who pay the bills, but it sure profits the corporations and Halliburtons of the world.

WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S.
will [keep more soldiers fighting in Afghanistan in what is not a "war" but a protracted conflict, a misunderstanding, a frozen stalemate against an endless enemy, or a kinetic action with unfortunate collateral damage and targeted insurgent strikes, just don't say killing in the name of money and military power] slow its troop drawdown in Afghanistan, leaving a force of 8,400
when President Barack Obama completes his [final] term, the president announced
Wednesday [June 6, 2016] in a blunt acknowledgment that America will remain entangled
there despite his aspirations to end the war.

Flanked by top military leaders at the White House,
Obama said the "security" situation in Afghanistan is "precarious" and
the Taliban remain a threat roughly 15 years after the U.S. invaded in
the aftermath of 9/11 [as if Afghanistan or anyone in Afghanistan had attacked when the truth about 9/11 is too hard to accept].
B. Obama said he was committed to not allow any group
to use Afghanistan "as a safe haven for terrorists to attack our nation
again."

"It is in our national security interest --
especially after all the blood and treasure we've [tried to steal] in
Afghanistan over the years -- that we give our Afghan [business] partners the very
best opportunity to succeed," Obama said.
There are currently about 9,800 troops in Afghanistan [and we can send more at anytime or just revert the name of "advisors" and "military contractors" there back to "troops" at a moment's notice]... More
