"iBoaterer" wrote in message ... I agree, I don't know why Bush got us in Afghanistan either. --------------------------------------- My, what short memories we have. The United States, United Kingdom, France and Australia "invaded" Afghanistan in October, 2001, a month after the 9/11 attacks on the US by al-Qaeda terrorist, led by Bin Laden. The purpose was to eliminate the Taliban control of the country and it's use as an al-Qaeda training ground. An important but secondary mission was to try to hunt down Bin Laden. There's no controversy about that. The real question is, why are we still there? |

We invaded Afghanistan because Bush needed something to restore his "prestige" after 9-11, so his aides trumped up an invasion of Afghanistan. The Taliban and other religious nutcases can set up shop anywhere, and, in have, have. If Bush had been serious about "getting" the 9-11 cells and their backers and funders and the evil madrassas, he would have invaded Saudi Arabia. |

I think it is important to remind some people of Palin and her stupidity. She could have been an old man's heartbeat away from the presidency. Well the old man is still alive so she would have just been sitting around with nothing to do like Biden. Sarah wasn't the scary one. The old man would very likely have us in a war in Iran right now. Remember "Bomb Bomb, Bomb Iran' (to the tune of Barbara Ann)? All the GOP nominee wannabes this last election with the exception of Portman were saber-rattling warmongers, and several of them (Santorum, Perry, Bachman, Cain) were at least as stupid as Palin. Practical intelligence, never mind intellectual intelligence, doesn't seem to be an attribute much sought these days in the GOP. Christine O'Donnell, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Jan Brewer...the four GOP women of the apocalypse, and all bottom divers. ---------------------------------------------- Harry, It's ok. The election is over. Your man won. P.S. You might want to remind Big Ed, Rachel, Big Al and the others of the fact. They still delight virtually every night in mocking Romney and other Republican candidates who lost. Doesn't contribute to developing any sense of bi-partisanship or harmony in the country. Lean Forward. We're still plagued with GOP crazies holding or seeking high political office, and some of them will be contending for the 2016 nomination, and other non-candidates crazies will be attempting to "shape" the field. I think it worthwhile to slam these individuals and the party that supports them from time to time. I don't see any opportunity for bipartisanship or political harmony in this country until the current crop of bat**** crazy Republicans wanders in the desert for a couple more presidential election cycles and the party loses more seats in the U.S. Senate and House. I remember when the northeast had a plethora of reasonable, responsible Republicans who were willing to work in a bipartisan manner for the good of the country. Now, there are hardly any Republicans in that part of the country who hold high political office, and I think one of the major reasons is that reasonable Republican wannabes simply cannot, for the most part, get nominated. While there are exceptions, the GOP these days is mostly a party controlled by white southern men. ---------------------------------------------------------- While I agree with you about the ultra right Republicans, they will, in time, lose influence. Politics goes in cycles. If the MSNBC (and others) crowd wants to attack those running or who may run, that's their choice. But to keep doing re-runs of the last election doesn't do anybody any good in terms of creating a reasonable or responsible debate for the future. It may end up back firing. The only thing they know how to do is spike the football. |

The bulk of Planned Parenthood's funding goes towards women's health issues that have nothing to do with abortion. Right wing assholes who despise women and women's rights, of course, also hate Planned Parenthood. And so do the terminally stupid...likeyou and your butt buddy there. |

We were doing good work in Afghanistan until about December when OBL ducked into Pakistan. At that point, we had no real reason to be in Afghanistan. I understand there was so much criticism of missing OBL based on not having enough troops (whether that would have made any difference or not) there that Bush invaded in force. Doing good in afghanistan means not going in in the first place. |
