Bush got us in there. We're there. We could have just left
(cut-and-run, some people would say) when Obama took office, but how
smart would that be?

You don't really have a point, do you?


Yes, Gene, he does! Remember conservative = good, liberal = evil. That's
the republican mantra!!!

Loogy, that's not even cute any more.

Why are we in Afghanistan? If we're there simply because Bush got us
there, then our reason for being there is pretty stupid.

If there is another reason, what is it?
