Fed Up With War

Most Americans, looking at a globe, would be hard pressed to find Afghanistan. Americans on the whole know very little about the land or its people — and care even less. They know we’re at war over there, wherever it is, but if you were to ask what a Pashtun is or mention the name Abdullah Abdullah you would most likely get a blank stare. Americans’ minds are on other things, like trying to figure out why, if the Great Recession is over...

"...Otherwise, let’s explore creative alternatives to endless warfare and start bringing the weary troops home..."

More NYT Surrender Monkey drivel.

[wildbill]

What’s up with the Libs? They’ve been hollering that Afghanistan was the ‘good’ war and where we should be to defeat Al Queda.

They really are pukes when you get down to it.

[Dr. Ursus]

Here’s a creative alternative-how about we feed the Al Qaeda
croc with ACLU members and NYT writers-Works for me!

[McGruff]

Listen to the Dear Leaders own words you surrender monkey.

Maybe Joe Wilson was right on more than one level.

[Islaminaction]

Russian could not even beat them in a brutal war, there is no way a PC war will win.

[Sacajaweau]

There are a few minds who are thinking about the terrorists that were just captured....and which country they got their training in....like Afghanistan.

The war on terror must not cease!!!! Obama doesn't get it.

[angkor]

Every one of the recent terrorism incidents in the US have involved Pakistanis.

Then how exactly are they "fed up"?

LEAKING AMERICAN SECRETS TODAY

Our main goals there are No. 1, protect the drug lords and their poppies. No.2 do not, at any cost, kill any civilians, even if it costs your on life.

The New York Times has had 8 years to cover Afghanistan for the American public, this admission shows how inadequate the newspaper industry became and why we have abandoned it.

[Islaminaction]

Afghans first, US soldiers second. How sad.

[VR-21]

I’m “fed up” with living in a country where people will browbeat other people about 3-ply toilet paper yet not complain about a waste of good pulp like the NYT. Sulzburger and his editorial staff are two-legged cockroaches.

Maybe most liberals? Anyone who is unable to find Afghanistan on a standard 12 inch globe within 15 seconds shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Hmmm. It's next to Iran. I wonder if that has anything to do with why we are there.

[usshadley]

it’s all a lie...it’s all, every stinking tidbit or fact, from 9-11 to healthcare reform to immigration to Al Qaeda to global warming...it’s ALL LIES...It is the imperial strategy..divide and conquer....they have succeeded in dividing us,left/right, white/black, Religious/atheist etc, on and on, and while we stand on our sides railing at one another in vain, they are busy LOOTING the treasury and establishing their one world government...WAKE UP!

[fortcollins]

No one knew in 1938 where the Sudaten land was either.

Speak for yourself, Herbert.

Al Qaeda:” We really like you ,US media. We kill you last.”

[VeniVidiVici]

Bob Herbert is still alive? I’m surprised anyone noticed.

[GadareneDemoniac]

Also, prior to the election, they whined constantly about Bush’s failure to capture Bin Laden. Have we captured Bin Laden yet? No? Where are the whiners?
