I don't begrudge the international community the desire to bring a more equal representative currency. But, our president needs to make clear what a shift means.

Upon the establishment of a new reserve currency, the U.S. should dramatically call home the vast majority of our military. Japan, Soth Korea and China can contain North Korea and the E.U./Russia can figure out how to contain Iran's missiles that can after this week now reach Athens, Rome, and Moscow.

Excellent!!!

Agreed. Should happen anyway, but this would bring it into focus in a way that would be politically palatable by the Right and Left in the U.S.

yawn

Agreed! Bring the troops home ASAP! However, your president is banging the war drum loud and clear. It looks like more of the same old same old BS from the bush days...sadly.

Who's banging the war drum?

"Two top Republican senators urged President Barack Obama to send as many as 40,000 additional troops to Afghanistan"

Reminder: I have you on 'ignore' as I have no interest in reading your posts or corresponding with you further.

That information was for the board in an effort to negate your propaganda...I could care less whether you read it or not.

Banging the war drum and trying to finish a job that needs to be finished are two different things. Isn't he your president too IluvUSAchat?
