The Taliban will always come back in some form or another. The Muslims
do not look at their struggle as a one, two or ten year effort. It is a
centuries effort. If it takes the Muslims 10 generations they will wait,
if it takes 10 centuries they will wait. The Muslims are more patient
than us.

Everything isn't a "right wing fallacy" just because you don't agree
with it. See, that is the difference between the right and the left. I
accept that you may have a different point of view. It doesn't mean your
lying, it doesn't mean you are stupid, racist, or any of the other "left
wing fallacies".. Just a different point of view...

Either way, you should have figured out by now that I don't take much of
this seriously here... I really don't have the time to argue and
research all the crap that goes on. The kid is in the points race and
working very hard. I am trying to keep up and get her and the machine

I thought it was following through on a campaign promise. Why are we still
in Iraq? Didn't Obama say he was going to get us out of Iraq too?

Why are we still in Iraq?


Because he lied?

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


The Taliban will always come back in some form or another. The Muslims do
not look at their struggle as a one, two or ten year effort. It is a
centuries effort. If it takes the Muslims 10 generations they will wait,
if it takes 10 centuries they will wait. The Muslims are more patient than
us.


The Muslim goal is to eradicate all infidels and rule the world. No other
solution is acceptable, and any means to gain that end are acceptable.

Why are we still in Iraq?-


he did not say he was going to 'get us out of iraq'. he said he was
going to get us out consistent with US policy objectives. and he is.
US troops are no longer involved in combat operations.

you take pride in your ignorance or is it just a hobby?

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?
--


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


The Taliban never conducted state sponsored terrorism. The Taliban was
used by OBL and AQ as a base of operations because Afghanistan is the
anus of the Earth.-


you say potatoes...i say po-tah-toes...

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


they astound...truly astound..with the world class level of their
stupidity.

You mean, he really didn't mean it when he was running for POTUS?? Oh
my, hope I still get my free car and oil;)

Please show me where Obama said he'd give you a free car and oil.
Another right wing fallacy.


Obama didn't say it.. It was a sarcastic remark based loosely on the
rantings of some of the Obama supporters during the runup to the
election... Geeze...

Well, with some of the lies the conservatives have told lately, I just
assumed that was another one that got believed.

Everything isn't a "right wing fallacy" just because you don't agree
with it. See, that is the difference between the right and the left. I
accept that you may have a different point of view. It doesn't mean your
lying, it doesn't mean you are stupid, racist, or any of the other "left
wing fallacies".. Just a different point of view...

Either way, you should have figured out by now that I don't take much of
this seriously here... I really don't have the time to argue and
research all the crap that goes on. The kid is in the points race and
working very hard. I am trying to keep up and get her and the machine
where it needs to be... That is a full time job in itself...

No but the lies the right has propagated lately are being gobbled up by
the conservatives as truth no matter HOW outlandish they are. That's the
whole point.

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?
--


do you read the news? apparently not.


they're not staying in pakistan


the pakistanis are attacking them there


we are as well


i would call you as dumb as a bag of hammers, but hammers actually
have a use.


US foreign policy is based on home much money we have given them lately.
When we stop giving the Pakistanis money the will stop fighting the
Taliban.-


we have been giving them money for a long time. they didn't do dick
until the taliban started colonizing whole provinces.

any other idiotic notions you want to spew?

first there's a difference between the 'taliban' and muslims. not all
muslims are crazed psychopathic fanatics.

2nd, there's no proof this is true. the 'muslims' have already
started destroying the more fanatical elements in their midst, as
recent events in the gaza strip, and in pakistan have shown.
