Eeeeeek, everybody run -- It''s the Fun Police!!!! -- The only problem these people have is that they have no sense of humor. -- When you are raised with coldness and cruelty, that is all you know or understand. -- God help them, and anyone they touch. -- Their devotion to their beliefs is all they have ever been allowed. -- It''s all they know. -- As people, they are very limited.

Hungry686, ROLFLMAO.. This is what Dubbya''s war has brought us to...absolute failure in Afghanistan and thousands if not hundreds of thousands of innocent dead in Iraq... And brave troops (in Iraq with their lives and bodies wasted. That''s right, wasted ON NOTHING. Oh,I can hear the Rushies already screaming their little reactionary parrot heads right off. ;)

Now let''''s review the number of U.S. deaths. WWII - around 500,000. Korean - 30,000. Vietnam - 250,000. Gulf - fewer than 100. Terrorism - fewer than 5,000.

WW2 we were attacked @Pearl harbor by the japanese ,who destroyed our fleet ,germany promptly declared war on us as well ,so go ahead and blame that one on dems , the same with korea , attacked we had a defense treaty with them as well . The vietnam war was an error and a costly one at that so thats valid. the war on terrorism cost less than 5,00 lives? 1st off tterrorism is a tactic not a nation we are at war with , second invading affghanistan who harbored the terrorists that attacked us was valid ,but attacking Iraq would be like attacking mexico because the Japanese had attacked us at pearl harbour. For somone who claims to be an independent you have a rather slanted view of history and facts.

As Obama has said,Diplomacy is the key not war. He is doing everything in his power to make strides with the middle Eastern countries unlike Bush and Company who Ignored them and got us attacked.

Drone attacks from air, Pakistani military attacks from air and ground-all blesses by "Angel of Peace."... this is not diplomacy, and you are right it is not war-it is cowardice, if not pure and evil "terrorist attacks."
Killing defenseless men, women, and children in cold blood one after the other- I am not calling it "reaching out" to Muslim world. I just have strange feeling that the world patience is running out and their anger and frustration is boiling over to streets already-time is ticking and let''s see when and how these cowardly acts would be answered........

The chickens are coming home to roost. The barbarism of the region is a direct result of the Pakistan government encouraging paramilitary fundamentalist organizations to flourish within Pakistan. It is unfortunate the Pakistani government is just beginning to realize that the frankenstein they created is no longer on their leash.

ToolMangler says "Afghanistan didn''t ''purchase'' these weapons, we ''gave'' them to Bin Laden to use against the Russians. I always thought that was a bad move. "

Uh, righhhhhhht. Wayyyy old news, sir.

If you really believe Afghans/Taliban are still using those 30-year-old rifles from that old war, you go right ahead in your naivete. I assure you those guys have obtained more current weaponry since then.

Liberals are like little dogs barking at great men from behind security fences provided by others. But when the gate opens and they have their chance..the tune changes pretty quick!

Same with Obamas'''' crew. "We can fix it!" they said. But now, "It is harder than we thought!"

Same tune, different country.

You are kidding right????? You can''t be referring to our ex ''moron in chief'' Bush when you say ''great man''????? Even you rabid right wing lunatics can''t be dumb enough to think Bush was anything but a freakin idiot. Obama has only been in office three weeks and you are expecting miracles out of him already. Especially considering the mess GW left the country in.

All propaganda... first there was blame game on Taliban taking over Afghanistan, now their taking over Pakistan and nuclear conspiracy propaganda.... the govt. itself is corrupted and want to be protected so it is looking to shield its human rights violation and its dirty laundry. Whereas, US needs excuse one after the other to invade the countries as it pleases... US invasion is next... and it seems it is going to be an ugly scene depending on how extremist the US proves to be-it will be stuck for years to come
