Ah yes, six plus years after 9/11 the far lefty loons like Rall feel more comfortable than ever coming out of their holes to denounce any use of force in the wake of the WTC attacks. Of course afterall, we deserved it, right Ted? Can’t wait to read your next piece of brilliant prose based on your view of a place you probably couldn’t find on a map.

While he's wildly off the mark on his strained AQ / 9/11 non-connection theory, his basic premise about Afghanistan is actually sound. Most people don't understand how far from lasting victory Afghanistan is, or how daunting a task remains. Killing off a few hundred Taliban a year isn't going to fix it. Nor is keeping the capital secure while losing the countryside.

Iraq, for all of it's flaws, has materially, politically, and culturally improved since our invasion. It's not the same place as it was when we arrived. In Afghanistan, if we pulled out tomorrow, in two months there'd be no evidence we were ever there. Our problems in Central Asia are being swept under the rug for later.

This guy’s report does not jive with what I hear from guys that are returning from there. Is it possible that this is just the same Kool-Aide the Dems were peddling about Iraq-—pre-Surge?

That’s okay, last year this time Iraq was unwinable. The leftards have to have something to declare.

I think I’ll try to stay optomistic, at least until I know what Cher thinks.

I wonder what Ted Rall has to say about Detroit or Philly.

Actually this is the war the Democrats say they would have fought.

Ted Rall is raw sewage. Why dignify such with a thread?

My FRiend, if I’m not mistaken FR is a Ted Rall-free zone, so don’t be surprised if this thread suddenly goes *ZOTTO*.

Ted Rall is to responsible journalism what flesh-eating disease is to a healthy human body.

We already won, Ted. What’s going on their is not a “war.” It’s just “lawlessness.”

It wasn’t so many years ago that the moderators deleted all Ted Rall articles on sight with a simple “No thanks.”
