Let me summarise:
'we got one guy who wasn't fighting us, and let go one who was. In that process we trashed the middle east.'

If anything it looked like a war to see how much money could be dropped on cool (*)(*)(*)(*), or 'lost' to primary defence contractors while the economy tanked at home trying to keep those contracts coming.
Tax dollars burning, but not to get Bin Laden. Stupid healthy profits for every so called patriot company swarming around the Iraq corpse like flies. can you say "where are my AK47s I bought for the Iraqi defence force?"

You'll excuse my cynicism but some of us have seen this movie more than once or twice in our life times.

...imagine that, a war that wasn't run as precisely as a Rolex watch, I guess that never happened before.

You find saddam to be a good guy that deserves to still be around? This is precisely the NADD (National Attention Deficit Disorder) I was talking about. The Bush haters act as if they have some magical crystal ball that they go back in time and say, "we should of done this, or we should have done that", the fact is, we did something, and as in the previous 20 years we did almost nothing when terrorists attacked us, and I find it pathetic that our nation has been the leader in defeating terrorism, not to mention the overwhelming humanitarianism it brings to the world, and many of you want to throw us under the bus.

You don't think your dissension from our countries mission to fight terrorism emboldens the enemies of the United States? Every time the likes of Soros hammers our nation and Bush at every turn it weakens us on an international level, and there are plenty that have supported these efforts to diminish us by drinking from the same trough that all Bush haters drink from.

Here's the bottom line, wars never go perfect, they never have, and never will. We have spent a trillion + on this so far, but don't forget, our Wall Street and nation lost a trillion in the first 2 weeks after 9/11.

The truth for me is I believe in the United States, as does Bush. He will be gone from the White House soon, and I believe if Obama wins, you will have the exact opposite of Bush, and we will see in time, what the right way to go was, now won't we.

Default Taliban is a weed

The Taliban are like a weed: if you don't pull up every last bit of the weed and get rid of it properly, the weed just grows back, and quite quickly. The problem with Afghanistan is that it is a tribal country with modes of thought that are centuries out of date (even to most other Muslims), a flourishing drug export culture, a weak central government and a historic distrust of outsiders (especially armed outsiders). This makes for poor soil in which to plant a crop of pro-Western sentiment, and one in which extremist weeds can flourish.

Sounds like we'll need to keep weeding. Wouldn't want the yard to get overrun.

Wonderful rhetoric ... but, of course, no basis in reality, or more appropriately, a commentary on an alternative reality. Guess that's what happens when you don't want to face the truth.

Good news from Afghanistan - prooves the point that we must keep fighting these terrorists until they are utterly defeated.

Of course Barak Obama wants to sit down and have a chat with these beasts - giving them time to regroup and weaken the alliance of democracies against these terrorists.

To finish the war on terror we need McCain at the helm.
Nothing more to say

I do believe it's time for another one of our president's "bring it on!" speeches.



edit theres a clue in that about why this Republican administration's job approval rating has been below 29% and sinking. Something McCain needs to keep in mind if his intention is to follow dubya's plans.
