Either we go in FULL force or we get out.
There is no shame in leaving if our troops are being led by a freakin coward.
Why risk the lives of these brave men and women.
Besides, this is a wasteland. Afghanistan has little in the way of resources...besides opium.
The Russians are loving this. We facilitated their loss in this region, now the Russians are funneling a lil payback toward the U.S. in the way of explosives and weapons.
We have the ability (militarily) to strike any target we please without putting boots on the ground.
Either all in or all out....that's my vote.
Damn, I can't stand liberal leadership. Buncha yellow bellied tree huggin, commie supportin traitors.
And why, pray tell, would we “get out?” That would render the sacrifices of those who gave their lives totally useless. Although my grandson is fighting there for me and you, I suspect he would be ashamed to leave the battle unfinished.
Democracy and freedom are at stake, whether you wish to admit it or not. It’s not about opium or the Russians. If Afghanistan falls, then Iraq will, as well, and all the lives that have been sacrificed will be so much fodder for Iran and Osama...
Look at the larger picture...don’t be blind-sided by the media and your limited views.
