I think we are there because of this:

Ah, the Bush Rationale.

After Inauguration Day, the Bush Rationale is no longer applicable.

hey idiot...

you guys are amazing.

uh...questions for you:


1. when did US troops enter afghanistan?
2. how long has obama been president

take your head out of your diaper...

What difference does either question make?

Obama has had plenty of time to pull out of Afghanistan, and Iraq for
that matter.

Why are we still in Afghanistan. What does Obama hope to get out of
our involvement there?

Obama could have pulled the US troops out of Afghanistan by now. All it
takes is an order to Sec Def Gates.



Please explain why he should want to do that, given that the Taliban will
come right back.

So we are in Afghanistan just to keep the Taliban from coming back
from Pakistan? Why?

What if they just decide to stay in Pakistan?

Perhaps it's to fix the mess that Bush neglected to fix?

Right-wing nut = loves Taliban

Here comes the Bush Rationale again.

What 'mess' is Obama trying to fix? That's the original question?

disrupting the ability of the taliban to conduct state sponsored
terrorism. i realize that, to you folks in the 'neville chamberlain
fan club', that's a horrible thought. but to those of us who were in
NY after 9/11, it's kind of important

If the dimwit righties around here such as herring understood that, it
would destroy what little is left in their minds of the reason why Bush
invaded Iraq.

fixed Afghanistan.
