Who ordered the last surge?

Oh, and if you believe timelines....how is it going with Guantanamo?

Oh well, re-elect Bush to a 4th term in 2012.

Ahh....the joyous wonders of Election Year Politics.

The Political Filter between Barack Obama's ears has zero to do with the interests of the little man or the nation as a whole.....only that Barack Obama is showered with praise for his vast forward-thinking abilities. (Those forward-thinking abilities that only a narcissist and and a politician would embrace. )

Good. Our Government no longer knows how to fight wars and win.

Just call it Taliban Liberation Day. They ought to make it on July 4th so we can celebrate it together.

No chance to win in Afghanistan. No country in history has ever conquered Afghanistan starting with Alexander the Great. It's not even a country. Just a bunch of tribes they descend into anarchy every few years.

Obama waves the white flag....

No surprises there.

I'm just hoping mr obama will send the emails to the taliban indicating the exact dates of departure. It's the appropriate thing to do after all.

Sound familiar does it? You live in a country with no common language, customs or even identifiable borders. Should you be making accusations against afghanistan?

Here in Toronto the local radio talk shows are asking the question "Was the Afghani adventure worth it?" - Most say it was a waste...of money and life..that the war was LOST....and no one addressed that double crossing elephant in the room - Pakistan - that took money from the U S and others and used that money to assist in the killing of our troops - It was a betrayal...and a farce...shame on those that did not deal with the region realistically and honestly.
