Fail.

damn and to think I've missed every post you've made calling for the removal of troops from Afghanistan, still there for Bush's war. Brass on the ground THERE have called for more troops and Obama needs more time to what?

Oh that's right important things like subsidized health care never mind the health or lives he is ultimately in charge of with the deployed troops.

IMO very hard for a guy who never had any real friends (not all his fault as his parents were more transient than gypsy's) to understand 10 friends behind you in a fight instead of 7 is an advantage and ultimately safer but let's stress on the important things like cow farts.

Well you missed it, because I haven't posted it. I haven't posted it because I don't believe it...that's the difference between what's actually true and the point you think you just scored, but failed. I've always thought Afghanistan was a necessary war at the time, wasn't mad about it then, and haven't completely made up my mind about what I'd like to see happen, but generally have no problem with the reccomendations coming from the brass over there. Giving them what they need is good with me.

$hit happens, I guess.

With the caveat that I've been slowly coming around to the idea that I'd rather we just leave Afghanistan, because it seems nearly as pointless now as the Iraq war was two weeks before we started it.

we we're much more successful using Special Ops and the CIA recruiting Afghan friendlies. Much different terrain and situation than Iraq. I agree we need to pull out our rank and file troops. Just destroy their poppy fields year after year from drones and try to maintain good intelligence preventing their coward counter-attacks on our civilians here and abroad. Nonetheless this enemy (radical islamics) aren't going away anytime soon if ever.

If GW Idiot had invaded Afghanistan in the first place, or at least the region where the Taliban is snuggled up in, that would not have been in issue. It was his lies about Iraq and his ( and Rumsfeld, etc) deceptions about WHY were were going into Iraq that was unforgiveable. THAT was the war that needed ending...
