Both Iran and Afghanistan are proof that the idiot sheeple will be worried about whatever the media tells us to be worried about. Bush is basically the anti-Christ because of his endless moronic wars that accomplish nothing but giving terrorists something to shoot at in their own country, and Obama gets hired due to the this backlash, continues the idiocy TIMES TWO, and not a peep out of the media.
The OP is exactly correct to point this out, and it's been said 100 times before on these forums. The media tells the sheeple what to think, and the sheeple have no memory beyond the last TV "6:00 news" show.
I'd like one of the defenders of the endless foreign wars to answer this question: "What constitutes WINNING in either Iraq or Afghanistan?"

I guess you missed it - these wars suddenly became "bad" to certain "conservatives", after the dems took over...
I think it's hysterical that people who predicted that Obama would fail at everything he attempts seem to have so much invested in his win/loss ratio. *chuckles*
I leave that to the readers. It's common knowledge. Anyone who needs links to realize that there is a deep media bias is too ignorant to follow links.
Here's a hint....(most people don't open links.)
alphamale !!! ... Three Thumbs Up For You !!!
Perhaps more than a few folks on good old CDF can truly appreciate sucha no nonsense, most direct, and extremely accurate response such as alphamales, ...... especially when it's constructive critism is well meaning and specifically directed towards a source which appears to be in great need of such enlightenment !!! Thank You alphamale !
Major combat operations were won...and they were..culminating in the march into Bagdad.
We weren't "allegedly" in Iraq - we were actually there.
sanrene !!! ... Three Thumbs up For You Also !
Ain't It Sad ! ....... LOL ... As you have indicated many times here on CDF sanrene ..... Getting the "Fact's straight for some of these good old folks on the forum is an acute impossibility !
" Keep Em Straight Sanrene " ..... Thanks / Old Sgt. Lamar
Yeah son, you need to get a few rings around your trunk before you start lecturing.
Try thinking for yourself vs. parroting others, for a change . It's a huge release, almost as good as sex.
I know, that's tantamount to asking you to asking you to think for yourself, and we all know that thinking for one's self is SOCIALISM!
I'd suggest you grow up, before you are left behind. Or stand there, like a stick in the mud, not evolving with the rest of us. Have at it superhero kid!
You private message me threatening me and **** dawg...it ain't nothin but more of you running that big mouth you got man...I told u where to find me on Friday nights....u say i snitched right?...well that's why my posts got deleted right dummy?
I just read that the new British government is now pushing for a fast withdrawal of their troops from Afghanistan, that must be bad news for the US administration.

Every other country (except the United States) that has troops in Afghanistan wants their soldiers out of harms way. It's a deeply unpopular mission and there is precious little incentive for anyone other than the U.S. to have troops there.
Even though this war is far more doomed than Vietnam ever was, as long as it drags out, then more and more billions can be made every year.
Think of someone telling you that you are not going to get your billion dollars defense subsidy next year and we will not be needing your services. The U.S. spends so much on "defense" every year (including private contractors) that there wont be an end to U.S. involvement, but other countries see a quagmire that cannot have a successful conclusion.
