Why are we over there anyway, what's the objective? Isn't this what liberals call the "good war"? What's so good about this war?

Sheese... you got me. I'm a democrat and a liberal and I haven't a clue as to why we are wasteing our time over there. The U.S. troops don't hardly even fight. The death count says that. They just sit in their humvees and call in airstikes. They don't care how many innocents are killed. And then for each innocent Afghani killed, guess what ? 100 new terrorists are born. Every little kid who experienced the murder of their loved ones by U.S. troops grows up to become a terrorist. An endless cycle of pain, violence, and death that will go on for decades and decades. Tit for tat, face saving, payback, stupid claims of honor, ad infinitum. What a stupid war.

You nailed it. You can't destroy an ideology. I don't care how many troops, missiles, bombs etc you continue to send, you can't do it. It's just like what sheese said, for every Afghan killed over there, a new terrorist is born. Now how do we realistically solve this problem?

or every Afghan killed over there, a new terrorist is born

More like 10 or 100 new freedom fighters are born for every Afghan murdered by the U.S.

You would do the same if another country invaded your house, raped your brothers and sisters, and killed your parents and grandparents like the U.S. Army does every day in Afghanistan.

What about every Afghan who is murdered by other Afghans or their freedom-loving Arab 'friends'? There are a lot more Afghans killed that way than by coalition forces.

Or do those Afghans not count for anything in your world?

Keep being stupid will you please. People always rally around the flag when foreigners invade, rape, and murder their people. It's human nature.

I presume you are referring to all those Arab 'Afghans' who are blowing themselves up while also murdering dozens of innocent Afghan civilians?

And why should we care when we have police in the U.S. who execute black males on the streets of Los Angeles and New York without prosecution. We have enough domestic terrorists at home to deal with. Why are we wasting $trillions od dollars, 20,000 miles from Chicago, meddling in some other Caucasian culture in Central Asia ? Obama is as stupid as you are.

I love these threads when that one crazy guy gets ahold of them. I think everyone know that guy. He posts under several handles and says batshit crazy things. I love him.

Yeah, that's you. I love the work, it's hilarious. I always picture this poor arab guy screaming at his computer while he writes this stuff. Keep it up.

You stupid doper, you are paying for the waste with your tax dollars.

As a brother I can tell all you white boys a certainty. What do you think is gonna happen when there are about another 100 million of my brothers in this country? Stop talking about war in other places. Your war will be right here in this country. Think whatever you want, it is a certainty without any doubt. If you people don't believe that then you are out of your minds and know nothing about nothing.

You know nothing about the english language..geeze

You are too stupid for civilian life and have to be in the military, stay there you loser.

We could title this, "why Cheney and the GOP should shut their mouths about national security"

Let's rewind the tape. Wouldn't the doctrine of "surrealism" best describe Wolfowitz's assessments in the run-up to and early days of the Iraq War? A recap:

On how many troops will be needed to stabilize Iraq: "There's been a good deal of comment, some of it quite outlandish, about what our postwar requirements might be in Iraq....[T]he notion that it will take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq [is] wildly off the mark."

On the prospects for civil strife: "There's been none of the record in Iraq of ethnic militias fighting one another that produced so much bloodshed and permanent scars in Bosnia, along with a continuing requirement for large peacekeeping forces to separate those militias."

On the reception of Americans: "I am reasonably certain that they will greet us as liberators, and that will help us to keep [troop] requirements down."

On Iraq reconstruction: "We are dealing with a country that can really finance its own reconstruction and relatively soon." (Wolfowitz told Congress that Iraq would earn between $50 and $100 billion from oil exports over the next three years; it earned about $23 billion.)

from Atlantic Monthy

Gaw, always consider the source. Wolfowitz is a NEOCON. Wolfowitz is a self-hating Jew. Wolfowitz felt he had to participate with W. Bush and Israel in the imprisonment and genocide of his own mirror-image identical Semitic people in Palestine in order to feel like a big man. Self-hating Jews are pathetic, they feel they have to make up for the humiliation of the Jews being victims of Hitler's (plus Germany, Poland, France, Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Austria, etc.) Holocaust where 6 million Jews will killed.

I voted for Obama to stop wars not to start them.

Ask for Joe Biden to resign so that he ceases to be associated with a warmonger.

People:

Afghanistan is the GOOD war. Obama said so. Fall in line!

I'm not disagreeing with stopping war. But votes don't reflect what should be done. The worst thing is an uninformed person expressing his vote or opinion. Soooo many people are fiesty with opinions, w/o knowing any facts. If the L.A. Times reported that Canada was our biggest enemy, many would believe and not question it. (Only slight exaggeration).
