You really are ignorant of history aren't you. We attacked Cambodia

Pakistan harbors OBL.

really? the cambodians flew planes into NYC?

wow. that's something NO ONE knew!!

The Taliban didn't fly any planes into New York either. They never had
a particular beef with the US until we invaded their country.

Untrue - they were were harboring bin laden even after we asked them to give
him up.

Read what I said again. They did not have a beef with the US until we
invaded their country. There were other ways of getting Bin Laden.

and we didnt have a beef with them until they killed 3000 US citizns

you're not too bright, are you?

oh..by the way...guess which country was afghanistan's largest aid
donor?

bet you dont know!

Really? Where did I say that? We're going after them in Afg. and going after
bin laden's crowd in the uncontrolled regions of Pakistan. We have special
forces in lots of places, supporting the suppression of radicals. Sounds to
me like you want us to retreat to our borders and hope for the best.

So far we don't seem particularly effective at it.

really? so far we've killed about 2/3 of AQ's senior leadership. in
fact, mcchrystal estimated about 200 AQ are left in afghanistan

We kill as many
innocent people as we do terrorists and make terrorists faster than we
can kill them because of it.

the taliban kill 10X as many as we do. it's just the nature of islam
to hate non muslims. it's called 'dhimmitude'

look it up if it doesnt hurt your feelings and make you cry

We are not doing much of anything in Somalia. We can't even stop the
pirates that operate right on the coast. After Mogadishu we are not
venturing into the central part much at all.
Cite something to prove I am wrong.\

i just did

Now we have muslim nations starting to think they are right and we are
wrong. Do you really want to start a war with a billion people?

That would have been Bush's doing. Obama is trying to repair that damage.

Obama is doing the same thing Bush was doing, with all of the same
people.

islam is a backward ignorant religion, much like xtianity. you're
blaming us for the stupidity of religion

good luck

Just about everyone has said there's nothing new. Doesn't mean that the
totality of the information is something to ignore of course.

Like I said, let's wait and see what comes out. Simply the fact that
the government admits we are throwing money at corrupt governments
that are diverting it to the enemy should make someone mad.

again, where's the surprise here? we knew BOTH the afpak govts are
corrupt

I am surprised you aren't jumping on this because they are mostly from
the Bush administration ... but the policy is the same now isn't it?

Not even close. Not for Iraq and not for Afg.

OK what is different? Petraus says he is dusting off the Iraq surge
protocol and implementing it in Afghanistan, in spite of the fact that
the situation is totally different.

ah. the 'situation is totally different

a nice non statement if there ever was one
