Ah...yes, the liberal argument.

Ah...no, it wasn't an argument but an observation.

At the same time - I am totally demoralized by freepers lack of interest in threads regarding our troops.

The above comment was made by maine-iac7, not me. In my post #10 I stated that Obozo is a traitorous B@st@rd!.

I’m thinking that it would be against the best interests of the country to engage in such action. Vote them out in 2010 and 2012.

This strategy worked so well for us in Nam, and Ivan in Afghanistan that we should try it again?

We are sooo screwed.

THAT has already been discussed, offered the Taliban lots of money too

read through these links. The Taliban told ‘em to take their money and pound sand.

and the media kept it low profile - but it was out there - and the sheeple were too busy watching Idol and Survivor

I guess this is what happens when you ask for a surge and only get a spurt.

That about says it

The gist of this report seems to be- we are losing!

Maybe some day the brass will learn to

STAY THE HELL OUT OF >VALLEYS<,,,DUH!!!

WTF did they think was gunna happen when they gave the

bad guys the high ground and would not give our guys

It is a start that would have to be seen through for the next 30 yrs. You are dealing with a population that is 90% illiterate, they are tribal and the tribes bow to the war lords. What you are talking about is changing their entire culture, that would take generations.

I could not agree more. This is why i think “we” should get to hell out of afghanistan. There is just nothing left “we” can win there. It´s a lost cause because right now the troops are fighting the “towelheads” from the hills (Taliban) to protect the “towelheads” in the cities.
There is not so much difference between both as someone might think. Both are religious fanatics who like to tread their woman like cattle. They will not change their culture no matter what we do at least not in our lifetime.

Great Granny;

Like you, I find that the one thing Obama did bring to us as promised is HOPE!

I now have HOPE that I did not have before Obama.

Everyday I have HOPE that I live long enough to see this illegal, racist, air-headed, socialistic America-hater out of office and that I see a real American back in the White House.
