US leaders acknowledge 'tough' going in Afghanistan

[2centsworth]

Actually, we made a charade in the UN (Colin Powell et all), where all these countries basically called our bluff. And instead of listening, we went there anyways.
So it's too late to say it was not America's fault.

You'll probably be dead by the time you try to reach for the knife.

"We went in there thinking IRAQ was an emminent threat"

False. dubya invaded for oil, behind all the bull lies, knowing full well that Iraq posed no threat to USA.

I hope we invaded for their oil, because it sure is making a huge difference at the gas pumps. It had nothing to do with the numerous UN resolutions they constantly violated or the continued massacre of their own citizens. dude, we're there and taking care of business, quit your friggin crying already. I like reading your posts for the entertainment value but come on man live a little and enjoy life without always acting like someone shoved a dildo up your ass*

*Not speaking from experience...

dubya's going to surge in Afghanistan, but the military brass say Iraq, remember Iraq?, has soaked up all the resources.

The wars are un-winnable, but who cares? As long as the MIC is pocketing $Bs, keep the wars running, start the oil pumps pumping.

It's REALLY REALLY time that the red-state kids join McSenile's son and help dubya with his bull wars. Where are all the red-state Super Patriots? Not the poseurs on this forum, who are all TALK and NO WALK.

Been there, done that bufoon. Will go again if I have to, I'd enjoy your company next time I head out. Can I count on you??

heh, during the Soviet occupation, the resistance fighters would bring down Russion choppers flying though valleys with rocks. Yes rocks.

Just start lobbing 5 to 10 pound rocks at any given rotor blade of a helicopter in flight to see what I mean.

Gawd the thing I read that in was pre-internet, Time magazine, so don't ask for a link of the top of my head on that.

Bunch of Rambo wannabes!

Riiiiiiight... the same UN that did not authorize the use of force in Iraq? How about the massacre between Sunni and Shiite that the invasion triggered? I'm sure the 3.9 million of refugees thank you every day!
In the meantime, our Texas Oil lords are making sure we suck out the Oil from there ASAP! (LINK)

I really dont give a why we invaded, I just hope we get all the oil we can out of Iraq. I've done my part for my country and I'll happily invade Iran if needed.

Have you been over there and been thanked by those that have had family members taken away never to be seen again?? Happy that they dont have to live in fear anymore.

I've seen tanks rolling in front of my house, so I know pretty ing well what is to live in a country at war. The scars left take decades, if not more, to heal.
I don't personally blame you, because I understand it was not your call to invade. And I also understand that is very honorable what you do for your country. But believe me, every single kid you hand candy to that is motherless or fatherless because they were 'collateral damage', will remember you for the rest of their lives. Just as much as those that thank you for their freedom. Just like every single one of the 3.9 million displaced.
There's always two sides to every coin. It's important to remember both.

Oh please.....Saddam was a murderous bas , but to claim that people aren't disappearing and found later decapitated or with hands or other limbs cut off and shot in the head is complete and utter bull ....

If you think this war is on the same level as, say, WW1 or WW2 then you should go fight, but obviously many people have no problem with other people fighting wars for them or there would be no shortage of troops to rotate in and out of the combat zones we are currently engage in....
