With the death of Osama Bin Laden, it's time to end the war in Afghanistan and bring home our troops.
President Obama has already promised to begin a major drawdown of US forces in Afghanistan this summer.1 And now that bin Laden is dead, there's even more reason to end the longest war in US history. After all, President Obama has always said that the goal of the war in Afghanistan was to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat al Qaeda."2
But not everyone agrees. Some Conservatives in Congress are already arguing that bin Laden's death proves the war is working, and that we should invest MORE troops, money and time in the region.3
Tell President Obama not to listen to those voices. Sign our petition telling the President he's on the right track with his promise to begin to end the war NOW, this summer.
It's worth noting that bin Laden was captured not by a full-scale military attack, but by a covert operation of a few soldiers that resulted in no American casualties.
It's exactly why USAction/TrueMajority members have been calling for an end to the war in Afghanistan for years. And now that bin Laden is dead, it's time to withdraw from a war that costs billions of dollars every year and has led to the deaths of more than 1,500 U.S. troops and over 8,000 Afghan civilians.4
Sign now to send that message to Obama - tell him to not just draw-down troops, but seriously end the war starting this summer.
In peace,
