I can understand why, lots of folks giggle nervously when they are incapable of addressing the facts as they are rather than as you wish they were.
My friend, your the one blindly following your “commander and chief” Obama in this futile crusade, not me. In fact, at a time of worsening deficits, you want to hand your maximum leader a blank check!!
I don't blindly follow anybody nor do I see the world as I wish it were. The question posed was should we have gone to war in Afghanistan with the Taliban and Al Qaeda after the attacks of 9/11. Only an idiot, like you evidently, would sit idly by while they launched another attack. This isn't hard stuff. When America is attacked we respond. The amount of force we responded with is debatable, the fact that we should have responded should not be.
You sure you're not a democrat?
Actually, I supported this war initially as a campaign to capture and kill Bin Laden and his followers. I am on record here taking that stand from that period. I turned against the war when it became a nation-building crusade to prop up a corrupt government in Kabul. That government is now led in great part by druglords and Islamists (BTW did you know the Kabul government imposes the death penalty on Christians?).
Now.....seven years later, what do you think we do NOW?? Do you think we should follow our DEMOCRATIC maximum leader's effort to EXPAND this war with more blood or treasure? If your answer is you, you qualify far more than I do as Demcrat who "blindly" follows the president?
