Kabul, Afghanistan - When Medea Benjamin stood up in a Kabul meeting hall this weekend to ask Masooda Jalal if she would prefer more international troops or more development funds, the cofounder of US antiwar group Code Pink was hoping her fellow activist would support her call for US troop withdrawal.
She was disappointed.
Ms. Jalhal, the former Afghan minister of women, bluntly told her both were needed. "It is good for Afghanistan to have more troops – more troops committed with the aim of building peace and against war, terrorism, and security – along with other resources," she answered. "Coming together they will help with better reconstruction."
Rethinking their position
Code Pink, founded in 2002 to oppose the US invasion of Iraq, is one of the more high-profile women's antiwar groups being forced to rethink its position as Afghan women explain theirs: Without international troops, they say, armed groups could return with a vengeance – and that would leave women most vulnerable.
SNIP
During their weeklong visit here, in which they met with government officials, politicians, ministers, women activists, and civil society groups, the small team of Code Pink members had hoped to gather evidence to bolster their call for US troop withdrawal within two years, and capitalize on growing anxiety back home about the war.
While the group hasn't dropped its call for a pullout, the visit convinced them that setting a deadline isn't in Afghanistan's interests, say Ms. Benjamin and fellow cofounder Jodie Evans.

Wait a minute, for Code Pink to rethink something would require them to actually think.
I don’t believe it.

LOL
If they were, they would have supported George W. Bush fully, because he liberated more women around the world than anyone could have dreamed.......and he respected them.
They're in a bind with this Afghanistan thing, aren't they? Exposing themselves, as it were. (And that's a really ugly thought......)
Post 29 pic. Hmmmmph...ah.cough cough, hack hack, well what do you want me to do about it, this is well beyond my pay grade. Heh....pass the ketchup.
Now hold on one damn moment. I thought Charlie Gibson specifically told these morons to stop protesting. Their work is done, Bush is gone.
Bring IT Ping
“Bring IT Ping”
Oh crud. Now I have to go dig. Be right back.;)
can you believe it?
The horror of it all.
Stuck on stupid!
Thanks for the out loud laugh!
Leftist logic:
War = bad if there’s a Republican President
War = good if there’s a Democrat President
The ultimate Lefty move was when Stalin signed a peace pact with Hitler so he would have time to mobilize...ha.
Leftists are Liars....
I bet the Code Pink shmucks look at the women asking for more troops as the same kind of women they’d have to “re-educate” or “dispose of” in this country if it came down to it.

“CODE PINK PROTESTS MARINE RECRUITMENT CENTER”
The only thing that has changed is a liberal is in office.
Wasn’t Hitler the one to break the pact by invading Russia? I thought I remembered as such but am no genius and would really like to know.
