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?
--

the mess that bush was unable to develop a strategy to build an
effective security apparatus in afghanistan.

And you believe that Obama is going to fix Afghanistan? Nobody has ever
fixed Afghanistan.-

sure they have.

you're just too dumb to realize it.

What would it cost to buy all the opium? Have to be the bargain of the
century. The dope is financing the Taliban, reason enough to **** with
the trade,

If he stated our reason for being in Afghanistan was to stop the opium
trade, at least we would have a reason.

My next question would be, "Why us?" Why are we the power concerned
with the opium trade? Why are we not in Columbia stopping the cocaine
trade, or Mexico with the marijuana trade, or even California with the
marijuana trade?

I think we are there because of this:

Ah, the Bush Rationale.

After Inauguration Day, the Bush Rationale is no longer applicable.

Bush got us in there. We're there. We could have just left
(cut-and-run, some people would say) when Obama took office, but how
smart would that be?

You don't really have a point, do you?


Yes, Gene, he does! Remember conservative = good, liberal = evil. That's
the republican mantra!!!

Loogy, that's not even cute any more.

Why are we in Afghanistan? If we're there simply because Bush got us
there, then our reason for being there is pretty stupid.

If there is another reason, what is it?

Again, how come Obama didn't know it was fubar in Afg..? Was he
uninformed, or just lying when he said he would pull us out in the first
100 days, same question for Gitmo.. I will wait for the answer to this
before I move on...

But he indicated to his followers that he would get out... close Gitmo,
have open meetings, reach over the isle... pffffttttt.. The fact is, he
said he was gonna' do it. Half of the country admitted they knew he
wouldn't, the rest just missed the boat...
