This reads like something the left would have published about Iraq a couple of years back.

And it assumes that victory is optional.

The same general who turned the tide in Iraq is now leading the charge in Afghanistan, and he asked for more troops. I say we give them to him.

The Taliban doesn’t waste any time worrying whether or not they are in a quagmire. They just get up in the morning and do what they do. We need to do the same. We need to avoid putting an artificial timetable on it. This is bandit country; it will always be bandit country. The war is won when we’ve built an Afghan force capable of policing its own territory. Same as in Iraq.

The Taliban and al Qaida have an ally....he's in the White House.

Continuing to expend monies on Afghan 'nation building' and other assorted niceities will result in American's demise. Perhaps quicker than Obama's Deathcare program.

Marron, our own nation has become so inundated with muslims as to rival the UK and France.

What needs to be done is to rid this country of all avowed muslims....they are like time bombs ticking away, awaiting the opportunities that will present themselves in our malls, our schools, etc.

Oh, and while we're at it why not rid this nation of ALL illegal aliens.

Instead, we put up with the ridiculous posturing of our government that allows 'screeners' at the airports to check under our genitals to see if we have secreted a bomb or a tube of toothpaste there.

What Americans have given up, thanks to ALL of our complicit politicians is tragic.
