So, in your opinion, just because Bin Laden himself was not captured or killed then the effort in Afghanistan was a waste?

I’d LOVE to see you strut down main street in Fayetteville or Jacksonville, NC and make that claim.

I’d bet money you’d not make it to the other end before one of Uncle Sam’s finest corrected your misconceptions in very direct, physical terms.

Or perhaps even one of the Northern Alliance areas within Afghanistan itself – though you may not actually survive that kind of encounter.

You seem to ignore the killing and/or capture of all of the lesser Al Quaeda operatives who aided and abetted Bin Laden and his cronies, and were every bit as guilty of mass murder as that a$$hat Bin Laden.

Some of these a$$holes were pretty high up in the AQ organization – and the US creating circumstances that resulted in their achieving room temperature (or perhaps desert temperature may be more appropriate?) has in fact severely crippled this organization as well as it’s ability to launch another major terrorist attack on US soil or US interests.

You should ask Soros for higher pay to appear so gullible – or stupid.

hmmm…

certain girls I know who dreamed about marrying investment bankers a few years ago are now saying they want to marry guys going into politics & government

Indecent proposal at it’s finest I’d say.

But there are always the loser’s who need the money I suppose. Let’s bankrupt this finest nation by selling our soul!

Liberalism is a mental disease…

I know – I was there in 1991 until I evolved

Lecturing us. We’ve been there and discussed that.

Bored and moving on – hopefully orange can have a more meaningful discussion in future posts….

Dear Sir or Madam or Inanimate Object:

Thanks for using me recently. Please note Afghanistan and Iraq have already been discussed ad nauseum on this blog and elsewhere on me.

Let’s try and focus, shall we? But since I know your type and you’ll be wasting my bandwidth with trollish posts, let’s just begin here, old chap, mmkay?

“Afghanistan was invaded because the Taliban who ruled over it with an iron fist refused to turn over Al Quaeda, which was given sanctuary within Afghanistan post- 9-11.

Saying Afghanistan was a war of “choice” really is an indecent twisting of history and the facts.”

You say that Afghanistan was invaded because the Taliban refused to turn over Bin Laden.

But Bin Laden still has’t been captured, has he?

So, what did the invasion of Afghanistan accomplish? Nothing.

The Al Queda merely shifted from Afghanistan to tribal areas in Pakistan.
