A regime change is not our job. We are not the world police; we cannot afford to be. Our actions overseas, for every drop of Atlasian or foreign blood spilled, are sowing the seeds of hatred, leading to an expanded terrorist network. The international murderers who wish to see us dead have a rallying cry: our unwanted presence. Approaching a decade in Afghanistan and spreading our forces thin elsewhere, we daemonstrate to more powerful, more dangerous nations that we cannot even complete the job in small and undeveloped nations.

You make such compelling arguments, Senator.

If anyone wonders why no one cares about foreign policy, perhaps it is because we don't even allow other points of view to be debated.

Their desire to see us dead will not change if we bow down to their wishes.

Their ability to will be hindered. Especially if you count troops as part of that "us", which I do.

I can live with that. Please amend 30 to 90.

I urge the Senate to reject this dangerous bill and stay the course with the plan President Polnut has put into place.

^ This.

*dragged from Senate floor*

At least explain how it's dangerous... isn't ten years in Afghanistan enough?

Unfortunately, there's no way that such a bill would ever get through the senate, much less get signed. If I was a senator, I'd propose a compromise bill bringing our troops home from places like Western Europe and Australia. I'd like to see a senator who could really make an argument for keeping expensive military bases in those sorts of places.

We can pass this. I think that my modified version (tomorrow, people!) will get six votes.

No matter what, the final vote will be important. The people deserve to know where their representatives stand on this critical issue. We can identify the real Atlasian left.

Does this mean I become an honorary leftist if I vote aye? Tongue

You seem reasonable to me, if not economically left-wing. Tongue

Still discussing this with President Polnut.

I will make these minor tweaks then. I want to see a final vote to determine where the Senate stands.

Amendment

Funding for combat troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya shall no longer be authorized by this Senate effective 90 days following passage.

I object on the grounds that combat troops in Libya were never authorized by the Senate in the first place, so "no longer authorized" is inaccurate.

I tried searching on the wiki and could not find it. Last night I asked the Presidential about this but he hasn't yet responses.

I did say that I was unavailable over the weekend... I would like some advice on this matter.

True enough we can resume when you return.

How is it legal if that is true?

I was told these aren't troops but civilians.

Stop calling yourselves experts.

It is clear the Senate will have to act on its own for this.

Are you implying that war is good for the world?

Mr. President you have repeatedly dodged Senator Shua's question. I would like to see a straightforward answer. EDIT: answered thanks.

Nay! I expect that this bill needs some more debate.
