Hate to say it, but I guess I'm one of those chicken hawks. I won't have to go, but for some reason, I ready for it to start. I'd like to see at least a little progress in my lifetime. One or more of the ME $hitholes need to be paved over before I die.

I watched "The Taliban" on the Discovery channel today and Afghanistan is already turning back to Omar. They prefer the Taliban to America. These are mental defectives. Extermination seems in order to keep the infestation under control. I want to think there are some right thinking people over there, but they just keep living up to my stereotype. Syria has never been worth a damn, and I don't think they ever will. If Saddam swinging from a noose doesn't scare anybody but Lybia, then they are too dumb to live.

That's why no one should watch BS propaganda on TV. This show was a complete waste of time. The Democrat/anti-victory mantra of the "resurgent Taliban" and NYTimes vaunted "Taliban Spring offensive" gibberish. Anyone following the events in Afghanistan recognizes that the Taliban are being killed in unprecedented quantity.

They prefer the Taliban to America.

Who? The Afghans? There are no "Afghans". There are Pashtus, Tajiks, Hazara, Uzbeks, Aymaks, Turkomen and Baluchis. The Taliban where Pakistani export-dictators. Ethnically only the Pashtus were a sizeable followership of the Taliban. Most of the country opposed the Taliban, cooperated with us to get rid of them and continues to do so.
