,h4 ,,res4 #ahd  ,,in ,,the ,,house ,,of
 ,,representatives  ,april #be1 #bjac   
,mr4 ,rohrabacher submitted the         
following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on ,foreign ,affairs 
,,resolution  ,expressing the sense of  
the ,house of ,representatives that the 
,united ,states should immediately      
remove all members of the ,united       
,states ,armed ,forces from ,afghanistan
 and pursue alternative strategies1     
which do not require large deployments  
of ground combat forces of the ,armed   
,forces1 in order to create a stable    
,afghanistan that is not a base for     
international terrorism4  ,whereas      
members of the ,united ,states ,armed   
,forces have fought bravely and         
honorably for more than #aa years in    
,afghanistan2 ,whereas more than #b1jjj 
members of the ,united ,states ,armed   
,forces have died in ,afghanistan since 
#bjja1 more than #ah1djj members have   
been wounded1 and thousands of members  

remain in harm's way2 ,whereas it is    
estimated that the ,united ,states has  
spent more than #fdj billion on aid and 
military operations in ,afghanistan     
since #bjja2 ,whereas the ,united       
,states has brought ,osama ,bin ,laden  
to justice1 which was the original      
justification for removing the ,taliban 
from power in ,afghanistan2 ,whereas1   
despite the tremendous effort of the    
,united ,states ,armed ,forces to create
 a stable and secure ,afghanistan1      
long-standing political and ethnic      
divisions in ,afghanistan that pre-date 
the ,september #aa1 #bjja1 terrorist    
attacks remain unresolved2 ,whereas the 
resource demands required to maintain   
large scale ,united ,states military    
operations in ,afghanistan have become a
 strategic vulnerability2 and ,whereas  
continuation of the current ,united     
,states strategy for ,afghanistan offers
 no realistic prospects to create a     
stable and secure ,afghanistan3 ,now1   
therefore1 be it  ,that it is the sense 

of the ,house of ,representatives that  
the ,united ,states should--  7#a7      
immediately remove all members of the   
,united ,states ,armed ,forces from     
,afghanistan2 and  7#b7 pursue          
alternative strategies1 which do not    
require large deployments of ground     
combat forces of the ,armed ,forces in  
,afghanistan1 in order to create a      
stable ,afghanistan that is not a base  
for international terrorism4
