Watch President Obama’s Afghanistan Speech

Video
» 8 comments

After a decade of conflict in the country and many questioning what the purpose of the war in Afghanistan is now that Osama bin Laden has been killed, President Obama is scheduled to deliver a speech tonight on the future of the war in that region and America’s plans going into the next phase of the operation. Don’t have a TV? Thanks to WhiteHouse.gov, you can watch the speech live in its entirety here.

While the White House has not released any specifics on what President Obama will be announcing tonight, reports suggest that the President’s speech will mostly address troop withdrawal, and the White House’s plan for ending America’s military presence in the nation while making sure Afghanistan does not once again become a cradle of terrorism and Islamic fundamentalist radicals.

    I would rather endure an infected root canal operation without anesthesia then watch our incompetent community organizer spew his lies for his own political gain!!!

    The White House did not voluntarily release details of his speech, but someone close to the president leaked damaging information…like the fact that Obama is shunning his generals protests and removing so many troops for polirical reasons that all of the blood and money we’ve spent over the years is in danger of going right down the drain. This according to CNN.

    How does it feel working 2 and 3 jobs to support the rebuilding of Afghanistan?

    That’s Barack Obama who’s taking your money to rebuild Afghanistan!!

    It seems like the RepubliCons don’t like this endless war either.

    No one likes war.

    It will be a long time until I trust Republicans over matters of national security. If Bush were still president Osama Bin Laden would probably still be free and we would still lack a real strategy in Afghanistan. As General Petraeus put it in 2009 the United States had just put into place the first real strategy for fighting the war in Afghanistan. Bravo Obama for being a true commander in chief.
