Getting the hell out of Afghanistan

[Bo-4]

I'm not finding a single liberal OR conservative who says they don't want to get out of Afghanistan NOW after what just happened.

Are we missing a neocon or something? KingBlam would want to stay, but he's gone.

Can ANYONE make the case for staying???

Good.. because if we have full agreement, then the president must abide by our decision! ;-)

Let's ask another question. Say we leave prematurely and the Taliban regains control in a few years. What is the likelihood another attck could be planned there like 9/11. personally we fight wars with too much regard to innocents. Imagine if we caught hitler and the japs that way? You harbor enemy's of the US your no different.

Well great.. we'll continue with a policy of interventionist wars and continue fighting 'em there so's we don't gotta fight 'em here.

That worked out well huh?

Cool, but there are more al-Qaeda in several other countries than there are in Afghanistan. Should we go there too.. and if so, with what money and what Army?

Every one knows that the place will disintigrate into chaos the moment we leave be it now or in 2014. Al qaeda left even before your first planes arrived. No way are the Afganis going to allow them back in No way not after the hell they have been put through by the US Occupation. No way !!!!!

One little girl was in her red pyjamas another tiny one was wraped still in a little nest of green blankets, both their bodies were partly chared, some drunken soldiers ( we won't hear more of that, I bet ) had tried to burn them . Those innocents you mean ?
Their bodies lay with another of a 15 year old boy, also partly chared, in a truck. Now they will be under the ground. I wonder if the snuggled up to their Pa or Ma last night making lovely childish sweet talk and smelling so new ...................
It is these innocents that make most of our lives worth while, our Children and our Grandchildren.
If they were mine that had been murdered last night.............

That place is a disaster, we need to pull out last year, quit killing our young people, bring all our troops home.

Let these countries sort out their own internal problems. If they want to deal with us after they get it sorted out then fine, if they don't that's fine also. We need to stop killing our people and quit pouring billions of taxpayer dollars into these third world sewers while Americans suffer at home and our infrastructure crumbles before our very eyes.

If the present administration won't do it then we voting Americans need to oust these chit-birds and get a new leadership team in place, this crap is beyond ridiculous

You will have to ask Barack Obama. He is Commander in Chief and apparently he wants us to stay in Afghanistan.

Everyone else wants us to leave. That is obvious.

When you find Lukey and I agreeing on that subject,it is proof what needs to be done.'

It matters little when we get out. Nothing has changed there, nothing will. They live in a stone age of corruption and we want out.

The Invasion and occupation are for the Opium and an oil route, til the deals are done and the Mercenaries in place you cannot leave. And anyway, how dishonerable to run away because of this. We all have to face up to our responsibilities.

I know people who traveled in Afganistan before this invasion, the invasions and occupation whose purpose was for the building of an oil route to the sea and the possession the Opium crops. I have never heard anything which does not instill a deep deep and ancient respect. Of an honour that we have long ago lost. Just because people are not like us ? We could learn so much from Ancient peoples instead we teach our children to murder their babies in their sleep.

And what do we hear when such a nightmare happens ? We hear Oh our poor boys, our poor boys ???? bring them home .............sorry I begin to loose pity, So few have shown any sympathy for the Aghans who have lost thier little jewels on here today. It doesn't do us any harm to feel for other people, people who are not like us ......they really are human too, humans who love their children just as much as we love ours..

When the Towers went down, though most of us quickly realised it was an inside job , the World showered you with sympathy. Nine tiny one have been murdered in their beds. That just that is a tragedy.

 

[Bo-4]

Queenie.. an inside job? I was totally with you up until that point.

911 was an "inside job"? Please tell me you don't believe that.

What I was trying to convey was that though we didn't all go along with your Terrorists that did not take away from the horror and deep sympathies felt. That is all. As now, that it was your man or men who did the deed, that is no reason not to feel the sorrow of those who have lost their loved ones And I don't include you iin that. I wasn't meaning to go into one about who did what I mean. One is simply so touched by the deed it's self.
But yes, at some point we have all got to question what is being done in our name and all of our responsibilities in it . A bit of honst reflection at such times can mean that these deaths were maybe not totally in vain.

Lets leave 9/11 til another day eh ? I don't know who did it but those towers were pre dynamited is all I know. xxx another day.

Jen.. just between you, me, and fencepost.. if BHO doesn't vastly accelerate withdrawal, i'm out.

Nuff said.

Bo- go and find a geoglogical atlas, one understands a lot more of what is going on when one realises what is under the earth and where. There is now a route to the sea from above Afganistan plus the Opium !!!! It is all yours now . For this Obama can not just pull out.
