Obama Hails End Of Afghan War In Christmas Address, Says World Is Better, Safer -- IBTimes
Addressing U.S. troops at the Marine Corps Base in Hawaii on Christmas, President Barack Obama said that Afghanistan will not be “a source of terrorist attacks again,” according to media reports. Obama’s speech was delivered just a week before the U.S. combat mission in the country is scheduled to end.
“We’ve been in continuous war now for over 13 years,” Obama reportedly said. “Next week we will be ending our combat mission in Afghanistan.
“Because of the extraordinary service of the men and women in the American armed forces, Afghanistan has a chance to rebuild its own country,” Obama reportedly told the troops. “The world is better, it's safer, it's more peaceful, it's more prosperous and our homeland protected because of you.”

_______ idiot!
Did the Napoleonic Wars end, when someone like Austria, Russia, Prussia, etc pulled out of an alliance?
What was that in "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?
There was creature that put a blanket over its' head. It reasoned that if it could not see you,then you could not see it.
Obama is related to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal! Who knew!
"to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindbogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you — daft as a bush, but very ravenous);"

Did Obama even study the Napoleonic Wars!
I just read up on the Battle of Golymin today.
Very educational. It shows what you can do when you are outnumbered. The Russian gave as good as they got and the French failed in their operational objective.

They must study it in Russia at least in the academies. If Lawyers do not want to study military science (& economics) they have know business being national level politicians.
