I no longer have any confidence in this fucked up government to do anything right. And it doesn't amount to shit which one of these bozos is in the white house, the one now or the one in my avatar.

Identical to what happened in Iraq and exactly what Conservatives forecast.

In the same speech semi-retired President Obama announced the "surge" in Afghanistan, he announced his pull out date.

BRILLIANT military strategist!

We should have exited Afghanistan years ago. What strategic interests are in that shithole country? Well, they do have about 1 billion barrels of recoverable oil, and supposedly the Russians discovered trillions of $$ worth of rare-earth elements.

Alexander the Great invaded Afghanistan and could not subdue the Afghans.

The British invaded Afghanistan and could not subdue the Afghans.

The Soviets invaded Afghanistan and could not subdue the Afghans.

And it is supposed to be different for us?

John McCain was right. This government will be Rasslin with Ragheads for the next 100 years.

I had a friend who lived there in the early seventies for a year, and spent two weeks with Senator Percy and his family in what was a beautiful and peaceful country. Americans were welcome guests and the country was beautiful with friendly people and a proud culture. Sometimes the easy answer is the best answer. Leave.
