"How many BILLIONS did we borrow from China to accomplish that?"

I don't know. You tell me? How many?

"29 MILLION people live in Afghanistan. How many MILLION do you think want to see foreign invaders leave?"

I don't know. You tell me, how many? Seriously, answer the question.

"You're awfully proud of that bag of leaves we've raked up, but you don't even see the forest we're standing in."

You mean the AP quote I added. It seemed silly to make a statement without citing a source. Maybe that's how you do business. Nevertheless, I was really worried that someone might not know I was proud of that quote because I forgot to mention it. Thank God you were able to determine how I felt. Thanks so much for making sure to attach my sentiment. Regardless of your mind reading skills though, I am proud of our troops' commitment; the last 3 months and the last 9 years.

Seeing how you know how many Billions have been borrowed from China and how many Millions of Afghans want ISAF (i.e. the U.S.) gone; although it's really not necessary, I'm sure you'll respond regarding your view of the forest. Perhaps our views similar. Then again, maybe not.

ALL of them. The entire discretionary budget is the size of the deficit. Although we're moving from borrowing the money to fund our overseas adventures, now the Federal Reserve is printing the money to buy the bonds to keep the MIC fully funded.

About 1/3rd, or 10 MILLION people. Capturing a few thousand, or killing few hundred, isn't going to put a dent in the resistance to our presence. Seriously.
