I remember the establishment laughing at Dr. Paul when he said we should get out of these awful wars. Now these tools are coming around. Better late than never.

For Red Foreman: Afghanistan is already ’stone age’ ! Thats why its so difficult there.

For Jim: That was panzy Russia, remember we’re big bad America.

George Will is doing Obama a favor. By putting attention on Afghanistan, it detours people thinking about the continuos rising unemployment, Cash-for-Clunkers not the success first mentioned (only American company that did ok was Ford), the fact he’s QUADRUPLED the deficit and had to admit it was $2 TRILLION more then first thought.

Russia battled in Afghanistan for 10 years and left in defeat.

To leave the afghan theater now is so stupid it’s astounding. I can’t immagine what would make one feel safe about doing that. If we leave, the terrorists will take it back and will attack us again. They’ll happily kill democrats, republicans or anybody else.

War sucks, it always has, but this war has to be fought and won. The stakes are to high not to do so.

Why is Tucker still here? I thought they kicked her upstairs so they could save the circulation trends at the AJC.
Maybe it was the appearance on Chris Matthews where she defined the percentage of people who oppose Obama care who are racists. Yep, the one that shot her credibility in the head.
Cynthia has a facility with words but the power of her brain is no match for her verbal skills. She is a powerful transmission with no horsepower.
This moronic post is but a fresh ( as in warm and stinky) example.

In the spring of 1943, the USMC undertook it’s first, large scale amphibious operation in the landing at Tarawa. In the bloody mess that followed, marines suffered more casualties in three days than in 6 months at Guadalcanal. Americans at home were not prepared. Military experts had tried to warn the public that the Pacific campaign would be long and bloody. Instead, and this should come as no surprise, immediately after Tarawa experts were confronted with arm chair suggestions that “air power” be used in lieu of American boys.

That’s the magic pill isn’t it? “Just surgical air strikes and spec ops”

You betcha

We blow bugles,and bang the drums, but when it comes down to boots on the ground, when it comes to the death and dismemberment of American boys, ………….Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan, a strong element in the U. S. of A. seems to “talk the talk” a lot better than “walk the walk”.

We want to take our ball and go home.

Oh we can tweak our attention span out a ways, as with today’s all volunteer military most of the fighting and dying is done by “someone else’s son”.

George Will may be right. If so, he’s about 8 years too late. If America no longer has the stomach for war, why don’t we just admit it, and ten years from now, maybe save another military mom from having to bury her son.

Cindy Sheehan has been protesting in Massachusetts for a week. Now that we have a new president, the media is no longer interested in covering her. No cameras, no stories. Gone is her “absolute moral authority” which shills like Tucker bestowed on her in the Bush years.
Also gone is the credibility of journalists who are only interested in stories that further their agenda.

I’m a true conservative and was against Iraq. I recognize we were in a post 9-11 mode but the attack against us was made by a religion, not a country. Please do not tell me about how Islam is a peaceful religion or compare past atrocities committed by Christianity. The Christian atrocities were committed in violation of biblical principles. The Koran supports the actions of the ists. We invaded a sovereign nation that did not attack us. We had no proof they were associated with those attacked us. They didn’t like us so we killed thousands and let thousands of our own be killed. Now we are just going to give the country back. We were in Afghanistan before the election. As much as I to say this, Afghanistan is not on Obama. Why are we there anyway? Weren’t most of the attackers on 9-11 Saudi citizens?

The President should evaluate our presence in Afghanistan. Why are we there? What tangible benefit is it to our country? Is that benefit worth billions upon billions of dollars and more importantly; the lives of our finest? IF not… Bring them home.
