New reports claim the Obama Administration is on the verge of deals that would keep troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for years to come. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. Obama will be gone before our troops...

and I'll bet my vote on it.

2. Hardly ANYBODY

in DC is concerned with, or doing the bidding of, their constituents. I thought THAT GOAL was what WE elect them to pursue! WHERE does the disconnect happen? Is it at the start of the win celebration on election nite - the moment they cross the border into DC - or is it when they take the oath of office???

There's GOT to be some point at which someone says to these servants: "Awright, you duped your constituents into sending you here. Now here's what you're gonna do....":evilgrin:

3. K & R.

Are partisan supporters of the president pretending this is imaginary?

4. Obama was too good to be true, he even got my butt out campaigning for him (that's a stretch!)

5. It's his wars - all the way.

6. Pathetic. Anyone remember Vietnam?

Johnson promised to draw down, which apparently meant ramp up, and they weren't trainers, they were "advisers" (yes, with guns).

We just don't learn.
