George Bush was a moron getting us in those wars., I have said that
every time it comes up so that is a non-starter for you and Bob.
I just want Obama to honor his campaign pledge and get us out.
Afghanistan is more dangerous and less productive than Iraq.

I think he is getting us out the best way possible. Not sure what you
mean
by less productive though.

It is possible that the Iraqis could actually go back to being a
consumer society that might buy some of our products.
Afghanistan was a ******** 1000 years ago and it will be a ********
1000 years from now. The only real trade we have with them is we send
them weapons and money. They send us heroin and hash.

Well, now Afg. has potentially a $1T+ worth of natural resources....

Do you propose we try to steal them? ;-)
We would do a lot better sending mining engineers in there than combat
engineers.

Actually, I think it's a bunch of bs that they have those resources. I think
it's just a lame attempt to get us thinking we should stay.
