    Uh-huh. Interesting that Jeff draws something that looks more like an M-151.

    Well, the Russians never had any idea of why THEY were in Afghanistan, so why should we be any different?

    I really like the idea that the troops would pack up and come home.

    Cleaning up the mess Bush made of the mess the CIA made of the mess the USSR made of the mess the British made of the mess..etc. etc…of the mess the Muslims made of…etc. etc….probably right back to Alexander the Great.

    Please read a little history.


    In the First British-Afghan War, a huge British Expeditionary Force went in to annex Afghanistan to the Raj. Only one man made it out.


    In the Second British-Afghan War, the British Expeditionary Force went in and installed a King who had a legitimate claim to the throne and almost (but not quite) enough of a power base to take control himself, so it was cheap. The Kings kept the Russians out of Afghanistan and kept Afghanis from raiding the Raj until the Raj disappeared in ‘47. And peace continued until the Soviets saw an opportunity to spread Communism to an adjacent state, where the logistics would be strongly in their favour. As Rick Perry would have said, had he been in the Politburo, ’Oops.’


    The American effort is not at all like either the First British effort or the Soviet effort in that the US lost far fewer troops than either of those. Of course, in terms of putting Afghan firmly into the US sphere for an extended period, the war was about as successful as the First British campaign or the Soviet campaign.

    All we’re doing is cleaning up the mess war criminals Bush and Cheney left us. Time to get out of that worthless little country and not listen to the lies of our generals who want to stay forever.

    Obama’s greatest mistake: He should have withdrawn all our troops immediately after he had Bin Ladenkilled. That was the reason we invaded and it would have been totally acceptable to everyone except those that Mitch M. recruited to sabotage Obama’s reelection.

    Certainly not tonight since it’s going to be solely domestic issues tonight.

    I agree that it’s Bush’s mess we’re cleaning up and that we can’t get out of there fast enough, but can’t go with the idea that Afghanistan is worthless. It’s a beautiful country in many ways and has it’s internal truth and value, maybe not to us, but, all the same, it has great truth and beauty to it and the people are wonderful when you’re not there to kill them or take something from them. It’s a common mistake for invading countries to see their victim as ugly and worthless. Just saying.
