this is OLD news. hell, it's common knowledge the ISI is corrupt and a
branch office of the taliban.

Yet we still keep shoveling money into that corruption and killing our
kids.

guess you haven't been to NY.

And propping up the Taliban with US dollars is going to bring the
towers back?

Hell, the Bush Administration couldn't even get revenge for the 9-11
attacks. As soon as Bush's handlers realized that we were not going to
be successful in tracking down al Qaeda and its supporters in
Afghanistan, despite our overwhelming military might, it diverted our
attention with a billion barrels of bull**** to Iraq.

It really makes no sense to maintain our military at current levels.

My major disappointment with President Obama is his decision to go along
with an escalation in Afghanistan. All we're going to get from that are
more body bags containing Americans and a further waste of our tax dollars.

Cut the military budget in half. Use $100 billion of the savings on
building up a true professional intel service, and use the remaining
savings to pay down the deficits and rebuild infrastructure.
