This is why President Obama needs to hear from the American people. This decision cannot be left to the generals or the military contractors to make.

There is nothing for America to win in Afghanistan. Do we really want to sacrifice more American lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, so someone can build a pipeline across Afghanistan?

Please... Please... Please, take five minutes to call the White House at 202-456-1111. Let President Obama know that you want him to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and bring our troops home.
President Obama is the Commander-in-Chief. He is now "The Decider . He doesn't have to argue with Congress or the Pentagon. He has the power to stop the wars and bring our troops home.
If Obama will end the wars that Bush started, he will have earned that Nobel Peace Prize.
