That is another country Obama does seem content to try to conquer. How did that work out for the Soviets we're not the soviets. and i realize you're a craven coward but brave US and canadian soliders are dying to defend the west in afghanistan you hate the west, its civilzation and culture. kluxers are generally like that Yeah, the Soviets were smart enough to go home. Why do you hate our kids? You like them dying in foreign wars where we have no national interest. We certainly have a national interest in both places NOW. Prior to 9/11, we had limited national interest in Iraq. I don't see any compelling national interest in either. In Iraq., we have a containment issue with Iran. We have a possibility of a failed state thanks to GWB's failures. In Afg., same issues when bin laden was there. He's just across the border and the Taliban, which supported him is active. Bin Laden is in Pakistan and Iraq never made any sense. I agree (now he's in Pakistan, he wasn't always) that Iraq never made sense. Iraq was about Israel not the US. Partially true, but not for GWB. Afghanistan is pure lunacy ... Some misguided revenge thing I don't understand. It was about going after bin laden and stopping a repeat performance. That's what has got to be ensured going forward. The covert mission to get Osama made some sense in 4q01, 1q02 but as soon as he got to a place where we lost the support of the locals, it was over. He hasn't completely, and we need to get out asap. But, again, we can't just leave and expect him to stay away. We are creating more terrorists than we are killing. Perhaps... counter insurgency is a tough business. Perhaps if we stopped torturing prisoners and finally close Gitmo, that would be a good start. Are we going to go into Somalia next? We're already there! No one hates our kids. That's just extremist nonsense. That was just for Bob who thinks we all hate someone. OIC. Sorry. Which one is Bob again?  |
