So, How's That Afghanistan Thing Working Out For You?

Turns out, they really don't want us there.

Since there is no reason for us to be there, maybe we should pack up and come home.

Bush isn't President anymore. (I thought you knew that. It was in all the papers.) Now we have to depend on President Obama. God help us.

Our original justification for going into Afghanistan was because it provided a sancturay for alQueda's attack on the US. Okay, fair enough. However, given the history of Afghanistan, the mission quickly became nation-building. We have never been good at nation-building, especially when the culture is so totally foreign to anything we understand. We have a terrible quandary. If (when) we leave, the country will fall back under Taliban control, and once again be a sanctuary for whoever wants to attack the US. On the other hand, staying costs more US lives and money. I do not think we can be successful in our nation-building effort, so I suggest we get our sooner rather than later.

It will fall back under the control of the Taliban regardless of how long we stay.

WTF, as usual, your post makes no sense. What has that got to do with Afghanistan? I told you, therapy will help. Please consider it!

Half these threads remind me of Blazzing Saddles.

Ok, just go back to your room, and wait for the nice man with the "happy" pill.
