In all fairness....
Yeah right, a partisan rant is fair I guess.
BTW history may say the Iraq war deposed one of the worst dictators of
the 20th century
so what?
and Afghanistan accomplished nothing ... at about the
same price.
really? where are the taliban? they still rule kabul and have al qaida
training camps in afghanistan?
The Taliban still holds big areas in southern Afghanistan and they
will be back in Kabul the day we leave. Right now they are across the
road in Pakistan and our ability to do much there is really limited.
We are killing about 50 innocents per terrorist we kill and that is
worse that the ratio of Nazi reprisals in WWII. The rest of the world
is waking up to that reality. We also risk losing Pakistan.
If we destabilize a nuclear power we have really set world safety
back 40 years. It won't be a Soviet missile that blows up a US city,
it will be a leaked Pakistani warhead delivered in a Ryder truck or a
small boat.
Right, but they don't harbor bin laden and there are negotiations underway
to bring them into the political framework (basically we get out, they don't
harbor terrorists is the gist of it).
So, now with your false equivalency argument you're comparing the US to the
Nazis????
