ABC, Afghanistan at a turning point? It seems most on the panel agree it is time to come home, Ignatius makes some interesting points about Afghanstan.
David Ignatius, WaPo - if we pull the plug and pull out, we almost guarantee a civil war in Afghanistan. President needs to make case for Afghanistan, he’s not made a clear case for Afghanistan.
What’s most troubling with Afghanistan.....is Karzai. He’s very unreliable.
I don’t think Obama should have given notice he was pulling out of Afghanistan. What a moron.
He should have just pulled out and then announced it.
I am becoming very disillusioned with having troops anywhere in the middle east. Those people do not appreciate any of our efforts and, sadly, I don’t think our efforts have accomplished anything.
The middle east is becoming more and more fundamentalist muslim and it’s spreading to formerly more liberal countries like Egypt.
Maybe one small, well-fortified base, from which to coordinate a massive intelligence system and the data from that could elicit a response, I’m for bombing. Give the civilians fair warning and take out the nuclear facility. they say it’s underground and not susceptible to bombing, but you could sure bomb everything on top of it.
What's most troubling about Afghanistan is that we should have pulled out when we won that war. Which was about 6 months or less after we got there.
Nation-builidng is not our strong suit, and the last 10 years prove that. You want to re-build Afghanistan, take any 2 rocks and pile them on top of a third rock. You have now restored Afghanistan to where it was when the Soviet Union invaded.
No matter when we leave that place, we will end up going back there to shoot at people as long as they remain muslims. It's just the way it is.
