Afghanistani women, are we going to betray them?

You're an idiot. During Bush/Cheney, a large number of schools were built so that girls and women could specifically receive education.

Of course, that was nation building you Dems found so abhorrent. Originally Posted by gnadfly

You and JD sound like their head cheerleaders!

Your statement is true, but does not address the issue. If there is nothing else done, those schools will be torn down--or at least repurposed--within a year after we leave.

JD's issues are spot on, but unfortunately I don't really hear anyone else addressing them--the rest of you seem far too worried about whether the DEMs or REPs are to blame for decades and decades of short sighted US myopia.

Bush, Cheney, Rice & Co screwed up when they never thought about a realistic exit strategy. Obama & Co have had plenty of time to watch and come up with a solution--and haven't. They are all at fault for where we are in Afghanistan.

So, what is YOUR proposed fix?

JD's question is really a political one. He (and the Tea Party/GOP) don't give a fuck about Afgan women. If so he would donate funds to help their cause. They are trying to gain a foothold in the advantage Obama and the DNC has with women voters. "Look, Obama does not give a flip about Afgan women. Therefore he does not give a flip about women."

JD and his ilk led us into a war, while championing tax cuts at the very same time then starts bitching about the deficit, now he wants wonder why we are leaving the war torn country we should have never tried to nation build in the first place.

JD is a true wonder , he bitch's about the evil's of government , yet has spent his whole life on the government dole. He is like the arsonist bitching about the fire department not putting out the fire fast enough.

Well we see who the real racists are here and I am not surprised.

For the uninformed, we are leaving 10,000 troops behind for an unknown amount of time. They need secure quarters and the best way to do that is to build them away from everyone. I hate to say this but there will be opportunities for work there (not what you're thinking but everything from housekeeping to clerks and higher if they have the experience and training). Case by case they can find new homes in other countries. If we give them the opportunity to get educations including college they would be desirable as new citizens. We will be there that long (how long were we in Germany?). After World War II, Korea, Vietnam the US serviceman brought home war brides and they assimilated into the US culture. We went into the war with few speakers of Persian, Farsi, and other middle eastern langauges. We get their expertise on the langauge and culture and they get a hom.

JD wins biggest idiot teacher .... again

Munchie, once again, misses the obvious. Like standing over some dogs and inviting a cat to eat their food with you on guard. When you walk away, the cat who woudn't have been there is in real trouble. We invited this women to risk their lives and put their necks on the chopping block with the implication that we would be there to protect them. Now, under Obama we're getting out with no guarantees (whatever an Obama guarantee is worth) of protection or even influence on the current government to protect them. To paraphrase Colin Powell, we broke their system and we now own it...or at least we owe the people who helped us. Yes, we should relocate this women to other countries where they will be safe or create a safe enclave with that last 10,000 troops that will remain. A massive base/town for NATO troops and select (security above all) Afghani civilians. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

How long did the French military hang around after the end of the American revolution? Not long at all. We had to fight the British again in 1812.
You claim to have served in the military but you totally miss the concept of our earned freedom or retaining it after it was won. Won and retained with American blood.

And finally, what are you personally willing to pay or do to help these people?


That's what I thought.

lets see... JDIdiot starts a thread. It inevitably turns to race.

Coincidence?

Riiiiight!

I don't claim anything, I DID serve and you're adding nothing to the conversation as usual. Like they say, an empty vessel makes the loudest noise. You one loud mo fo Munchie.

Your job is like Solyndra job...without government backing, you wouldn't have one. You're just to ignorant to make the connection.
