Another Great Toon from one of the Greats!

There is no country there, only warlords, I know that Obama wont get out now, but he should, just like I know the GOP wont scream bloody murder if he suggested we get out, but they should do what is best for our troops and agree that it is way past time to leave.

Are the M.I.B. responsible for this fantasy?

And they have made no progress since.

and alexander was gay…

I believe the point of the cartoon was that trying to make Afghanistan into our image is a futile, stupid effort.

Yeah, plans…like mining all the minerals you have underground.

Dang, hit the web site instead of the flag.

Great toon, rather says it all.

^ L2Click the thingie.

Hmph. Afghan tribes are thousands of years old.

Do we want to mess with people as stubborn as that?

Time to change plans.

myming,

Cool link

Part of it is REbuilding infrastructure we blew up. Abraham could have saved us all a lot of trouble by killing BOTH sons. Just because people don’t worship money ($) doesn’t make them “primitive”. In fact, morally, the most primitive seem to be the cultures that DO worship money and acquisitions.

does this mean they do not want the pizza huts and subway shoppes? but..BUT?

lets keep in mind the oil leases were gained by bp/china/royal dutch shell…not the U.S. oil companies….we pay for it.

the u-knighted states got brit titles…sir bush sir Kissinger,Sir Powell, Sir Regan, Sir Rumsfeld, etc. and Iraq got to sterilize ALL their seeds and take only Monsanto it is ALL in their “new’ democracy. such a deal!

PULL OUT NOW!!! The soviets got the message why can’t we?

Did the condom break?

almost every country that has tried to “tame” afganistan has failed. they’re sort of like cockroaches; always have been, always will be…

GET OUT - get your own country in sinc !!!

Building a nation out of Afghanistan seems like building a house out of thawed ground beef…

“myming

they’re sort of like cockroaches; always have been, always will be…”

Bad kitty… tsk.

So, if we get one government to consolidate all the tribes, then we only have one entity to bargain with over all the billions (or is it trillions?) of dollars in minerals there, waiting for us to get our greedy hands on before the Chinese do?
