Obama Calls On Afghans To Take A Bigger Role

President Obama called on the Afghan government to take a bigger part in defending itself against the Taliban and al-Qaida. He told his counterpart, Hamid Karzai that he and his Cabinet need to be more directly involved in the fighting.



Response-Ability

The president spent time
In Afghanistan
To say we’ll be leaving
As soon as we can.

He’d like to see Afghans
Give more of a hand
In driving the bad guys
From out of their land.

Most of the people who
Elected Barack
Want us to knock off the fighting
And bring our troops back.
