   No, that is what Bush and Co. flubbed Howie. How about bringing our Good soldiers home to their families where they belong. For an good read try Rory Stuart’s The Places In Between. A great book about Afghanistan. Stuart also wrote The Prince of the Marshes. Neither book is politically motivated . Stuart is not an American, which should make everybody happy.

   As I recall, the left was saying the same thing about Iraq a few years ago. Reid said, “The war is lost”. Others said the surge would not work. The left no longer talks about Iraq because we won.

   I assume DrC is being sarcastic. If not, he obviously didn’t know anyone who died on 9-11. Although, Obama has apologize for everything else. Maybe he should apologize to bin Laden for us causing the 9-11 attack. Now I’m being sarcastic.

    No ahab–Clinton refused when BinLaden was offered up saying he hasn’t done anything to us as yet. That was the beginning of the attack on U.S. soil.

    “Apples and oranges ?”

    For sure. It is faulty reasoning (slippery slope fallacy) to say we will fail in Afghanistan because we failed in Vietnam when the two have nothing in common (except the expected whining of liberals who childishly think fallen man will outgrow war).

    “Those who do not profit from the lessons of history…”

    having said [and believing] that - there was a very good OpEd on the daily beast the other day about A’stan is NOT V’nam which made some very salient points about the important differences between the two conflicts

    Every minute of the day and night in the USA poor,simple and uneducated fools are enlisted then trained to kill and die for the rulers of the United States.How many of the misguided and misinformed US mercenary army die is utterly without relevance.The military/corporate rulers don’t care.The stupid families and the unwed pregnant girlfriends might appear sad for a moment but their grief doesn’t last.Many parents and wives are happy and proud their beloved made the supreme sacrifice, i.e. died like a dog.Most service families are too stupid to feel pain.For the rest of us the carnage certainly can be entertaining,however.What makes a good American feel so alive as watching an IED blow six GI’s to clots of sticky viscera?Or watch some brain damaged loser learn to use a spoon all over again?US dead are given hasty,secret burials and cloying, pathetic tributes.The US hasn’t won a war since 1945 so we’re due.All together now…God bless America and let loose the dogs of war!You know in your violent hearts you love it!Onward Christian soldiers!

    Howie, where is your proof that Clinton passed on a chance on Bin Laden?
