Will the conventional media EVER give President Bush and the US military credit
for liberating the Afghanis? I doubt it.

[Howlin]

I wondered if you heard Al Gore on Larry King last night. He said we had "abandoned" Afghanistan, just like the Russians did. He also said we should have stayed "like we did in Bosnia."

[Diogenesis]

.................. FREEDOM ...................

Thank you all for your overly kind and generous comments,
and your many pictures and critical observations.

Nice Wrap Up!

Muhammad Ali Clay? So did he only drop Cassius?

CALLER: Hi. My question is, would you have bombed Afghanistan after 9/11?

A. GORE: Oh, yes. More than that, I would have done what President Bush properly did, to send our troops over there to root them out and destroy the al Qaeda network.

And as I said earlier in the program, I would have stayed long enough to impose peace in that country and give them a chance to work things out. That's what we did in Bosnia and in Kosovo to get them talking to one another again and lower their blood pressure and build a frame work for a normal nation.

And the Afghans have once again been abandoned as they were in 1989 after they defeated the Soviet Union.

~~~~~~~~~~~~snip

Look at what's happened now. Osama bin Laden is back making threats at us. Al Qaeda is back posing just as serious a threat as it did during the weeks leading up to 9/11, according to our intelligence agencies. The war lords are back in power in Afghanistan, and the Taliban is back in Afghanistan. The chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said we're losing ground there. The CIA folks are complaining that resources have been diverted away from the war against terrorism to the war against Iraq. I think that...

I won't be holding my breath!

Great pics of the children-love the smiles on the little girls-so GOOD to see this!

And the masses gathered for the funeral...scary stuff...lots of anti-American sentiment. We need to pray for truth to prevail.

And you need to put a PUKE ALERT UP when you are going to place scott ritter on this thread. He truly makes me feel ill.

[Republic]

Someone needs to send that arse a few zillion of pics of our troops who are risking their lives daily in Afgan....gore needs to SEE the marvels that have been accomplished there. The schools, children PLAYING, women out and about, the changes already made in agriculture, the medical help etc etc.

Al gore needs to be spanked and put in a corner with about fifty or so of Diogenesis' threads for company.

"Will the conventional media EVER give President Bush and the US military credit for liberating the Afghanis? I doubt it."

Another question: If any of this could get through to the Iraqis, what effect do you think it would have on the average Iraqi? Or, perhaps to the Iranians?

Salivating for freedom for their "Talibanannas"? you better, you better, you betchya, you bet!

[Bahbah]

"And the Afghans have once again been abandoned as they were in 1989 after they defeated the Soviet Union."

Gore actually said this? What planet is he calling in from, I wonder?

[KC_Conspirator]

Everytime I see pics of northern Pakistan, like Quetta, the more I am sure that Daisy Cutters need to be dropped there relentlessly.

[rockfish59]

Dear Al,
Please drop dead! Thank you.

[MissAmericanPie]

With God's good blessings, we will free all the people in the Middle East of their oppressors. Hopefully, they will hold on tight to it this time around in Iran.

[Howlin]

I heard him say it myself. It, needless to say, went unchallenged.

That is the EXACT transcript off the CNN page.

[Bars4Bill]

That would be a great National Geographic cover, hadn't the old rag gone thoroughly PC.

[eureka!]

"Will the conventional media EVER give President Bush and the US military credit for liberating the Afghanis? I doubt it."

Your doubt is well founded. The beauty is that W probably doesn't mind that much. I do hope that the White House lurks here on FreeRepublic and has become hooked to your Gotta See This threads and is sharing those photographs of the children with W. That would be reward enough for him, I would think. The smiles on the faces of the little ones are so genuine, so special. May they be blessed and protected....

Ten years from now, I hope no one tries to find that little lady again. Finding the last little cover girl and seeing what the years did to her was heartbreaking.

Meanwhile, our buddies in France:

Hundreds of people carry posters as they demonstrate against a possible war in Iraq, Wednesday Nov.20, 2002 in Paris. Posters from left read: No to the war; Money for schools not for the oil war; No, No blood for oil.

[Bars4Bill]

NG's Afghanistan cover (circa 1980? if I remember) showed a young woman haunted and uncertain. I note the emotional contrast in this one.

[Shooter 2.5]

That's the one I was writing about. I called her the last little cover girl in my post.
