Dear Supporter,<br>
<br>
<!-- Add e-mail text below this line -->
Now is the moment to put an end to the
"global war on terror," not to ease our
way into its permanent establishment.<br>
<br>
President Obama has "surged" about 70,000
troops and a similar number of contractors
into Afghanistan, bringing the total U.S.
personnel there to approximately 200,000.<br>
<br>
For the past year and a half, the
President has promised to begin military
withdrawal this July.<br>
<br>
"I'm confident that the withdrawal will be
significant. People will say this is a
real process of transition; this is not
just a token gesture," President Obama
said on April 15th.<br>
<br>
Now the military is leaking word that
5,000 troops and contractors might be
withdrawn in July, or 2.5% of the total.<br>
<br>

the President that's not enough.</b></a><br>
<br>
By 73% to 21% Americans have told ABC /
The Washington Post that they want to
"withdraw a substantial number of U.S.
combat forces from Afghanistan this
summer."<br>
<br>
"In July of 2011, you're going to see a
whole lot of people moving out, bet on
it," said Vice President Joe Biden.<br>
<br>
Does 2.5% strike you as a whole lot of
people?<br>
<br>
The plan leaked this week as an apparent
trial balloon would take until 2014 to
withdraw the full 70,000 troops added by
Obama, and leave the other 30,000 troops
plus contractors in Afghanistan
indefinitely.<br>
