StockBoy.

You sound just like the Bushies before going into Iraq and afterwards defending Iraq and why we are there.

if we dont fight them there we will fight them here. The Taliban is evil. Hussein is evil.

Seriously to me this you could simply replace Iraq for Afghanistan and you would be a neocon defending Iraq with your statements.

Afghanistan (and the Pakistan border) is where the terrorists are and a resurgent (pro-terrorists) Taliban. They do threaten the US.

As much as Saddam was a bad guy and killed too many of his own folks, Bush portrayed him as a threat to the US (when he wasn't) and claimed he harbored terrorists (when he didn't want anything to do with them).

If we don't fight the terrorists and their supporters in Afghanistan then we will have the same conditions we did pre-9/11 and we all know how that turned out.

I think victory in Afghanistan would be a stable government, a dead bin Laden and a decapitated al Quaeda.

Unlike Iraq where we went in as a conquering and occupying force and the Iraqis do not want us there, the Afghanis have been affected more than we have by the Taliban and terrorists. I think the Afghanis want to reclaim their home from their enemy (the Taliban/terrorists). Likewise with the Iraqis- they want their enemy gone too. It's just that the US is the enemy in Iraq since we invaded and ruined their country.

It truly amazes me StockBoy that anyone wants to be in Afghanistan.

How much longer? Whats the goal? How do you define victory there.

It is a question we have asked of GWB on Iraq. How much longer? How do you define victory?

Its a losing cause. Its a lost cause. Its just draining the budget and the candidate who understands that is the candidate who has the judgment to be president.

Well… part of asking your friends help you to fight a war is how you go about asking them. Bush's attitude of “You're either with us or against us” is not a very good approach. Let's just leave it at that…

The world is finally maybe starting to take notice that umm…….fellas we have been in Afghanistan for 6 years now and we have still not settled much.

How much longer? Why any longer?

Why?
