USA is a hypocrite! Giving lectures to Sri Lanka after we killed LTTE terrorists and trying to show that is a war crime! USA must be charged for all war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam etc!

Obama Approval on Afghanistan, at 35%, Trails Other Issues

Decline from 49% in September far exceeds that for other issues and for approval more broadly

PRINCETON, NJ — Americans are far less approving of President Obama’s handling of the situation in Afghanistan than they have been in recent months, with 35% currently approving, down from 49% in September and 56% in July.

Peter, yes I saw the movie. It was full of flaws. But then again, you believe that every movie is real.

- I can’t figure why some people would think that
the movie “Charlie Wilson’s War” was fictional. Granted,
the lead actors and actresses don’t bear any resemblance
to the actual players, but it wasn’t long ago that the “60 Minutes”
piece that the movie is partially based on aired.

David did you see the movie ? based on facts…….

Gosh you never ever have anything positive or insightful to say……..

What happens at the end of the movie is the beginning of our problem there……… did you get it ?

Linda has a point David……..listen to her about Afghanistan !

Reagan HA HA HA…….he built up the war machine…….then forgot what he was doing.

Hey…. but at least he was the first US president that could be called a Drug Lord !

Peter, I would suggest living in the real world and not watching fictional movies with Tom Hanks. Try reading Reagan books and what HE actually did to stop communism.

The radical Islamic terrorists have been attacking Americans for 30 yrs. in Asia, Europe & the US, in our embassies & consulates, military installations, tourist sites, on commercial airlines & cruise ships, hotels, a hospital, a train station, a cinema, restaurants, a disco, a Navy destroyer & our Pentagon. We knew they wanted to blow up the World Trade Center because they had already tried in 1993. They murder innocent civilians anywhere we go.
I have always thought one the safest places in the world was on a military installation on American soil. That is no longer true.
If “strangers” can gain easy access to the White House, terrorists can gain easy access across our borders to our country. As long as our borders are not secure, we are at risk. There’s terrorist cells all over the US.
For 25 yrs., we tried to appease terrorists & those harboring them. Appeasement has never worked. After 9/11, the vote in the Senate was 98-0 & in the House 420 -1 to go to war in Afghanistan. It was time to finally aggressively go after the terrorists on their soil. Since we went after the terrorists in Afghanistan, we have been safe at home & safer elsewhere.
There was a report this week that bin Laden was within reach of US troops in 12/01. I thought it was interesting that this came out one day before the president’s announcement to send more troops & the fact that it was prepared by STAFF MEMBERS for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the request of the chairman, Sen. John Kerry. It outraged many people, as it was intended to do.
Radical Islamic terrorists hate us for who we ARE, not for anything we have DONE.
We are a peace-loving nation. Just because we don’t like war is no reason to bring the troops home.
If we abruptly withdraw, we break our word with the Afghanistan people, the Taliban & al Quida will pick up where they left off, plotting against Americans with even more determination & attack us for another 30 years—& we look like fruitcake to the world. The terrorists are after Pakistan’s nuclear weapons & were within a few miles of the capital a few mts. ago. Those who have died would have died in vain.
The members of our military are volunteers. They want to WIN! They don’t want to come home in shame & be treated like our Vietnam veterans were.
The war in Afghanistan is THE war on terrorism. We will either win or loose.
Pray for our troops every day.
