In Laghman's capital, hundreds of angry demonstrators denounced the U.S. military Sunday and demanded an end to overnight raids. U.S. military leaders, victims' relatives and Afghan officials — including two top Karzai advisers — met at the governor's compound to discuss the issue, Gov. Latifullah Mashal said.

Welcome to the world of today Obama and his supporters. It is not that simple anymore.
Wait, the world doesn't instantly love us after already 6, count them, six, days in office for Obama?

Weird...

Please define "fix" in this context.

And not one was from Iraq.
Ask the families of the 4,200+ dead soldiers, the over 35,000 critically wounded soldiers, the dead and wounded coalition forces and the over 100,000 dead Iraqis.

If you're so gung ho for the war, send your kids, or go yourself.

I'm one of those families, I lost my brother in Iraq and I don't blame Bush or Obama I blame the lunatic that killed him.

I have had someone in my family over there. Have you? My boss has a husband there now, and one of my daughter's classmates lost a father there a few yrs. ago. I come from a long line of service people, male and female. They understand the risks.

So, they were from Arabia. Why hasn't Obama focused his efforts on a fight there instead of Afghanistan if we are trying to get down to brass tacks here.

Because the hijackers acted alone, they did not act under the instructions of the Royal Saudi family or the local government.

Great Idea, Bush should also be blamed for: hurricans, forest fires, job loss and "global warming" (which doesnt exist). Libs want to blame bush for all of these issues, I dont think they realize how much power they are claiming Bush has, if he can change the minds of the people of the world, change the climate and singlehandedly destroy the world economy; not even The Messiah has that much power.
