Obama allies demand end to Afghan war - Lahore_Real_Estate - 07-02-2010 12:53 PM WASHINGTON: A group of US lawmakers allied with the White House called on Thursday for an end to the Afghan war, labelling it an un-winnable drain on US “blood and treasure” and comparing it to Vietnam. “Every dollar spent and every life wasted in Vietnam was just that, a waste,” said Democratic Representative Jerrold Nadler. “Afghanistan is the same. Every dollar we spend, every life we waste, is a waste.” Some 21 lawmakers have joined the “Out of Afghanistan Caucus” opposing continued combat operations there, according to Representative John Conyers. afp |
