She’s basically calling on Obama to dispense with the half measures and fight this to win.

Half measures? He is more pro-war than Bush. If you think we can win there, you might want to read some Afghan history. In more than 2000 years, nobody has conquered that country, nobody. The Russians went all out and even they failed. Besides we are bankrupt. Where do you intend to get the money to pay for all this? Also, what precisely are we fighting for now? Karzai his corrupt and his government is wiling to impose the death penalty on Christian converts.

Because we sent the Muj Redeye and Stinger missles, thus giving them a chance against Soviet aircraft. Before we did, they were on the verge of defeat. Also, the Russians previously and successfully conquered Turkestan, which was a similar region to Afghanistan.

Do you think we shouldn’t have gone in after 9/11, and if you do, what would you have wanted to do?
