Comments on: Pentagon Expects More Taliban Attacks

Defense Officials Say Taliban Has "Coalesced Into A Resilient Insurgency"

[hungry1968]

So let''s see:

An enemy attacked us.

We did nothing about it.

We egged them on and urged them to FIGHT US in Iraq.

Our war in Iraq BOLSTERED their numbers by tens of thousands.

We withdrew from the ACTUAL war on terror in Afghanistan.

And somehow it''s NEWS that we''re expecting MORE attacks?

I''d say that you''re so focused on beating the ''camel jockeys'' you don''t even see your country being sold out from under you. Three trillion dollars... for what? Doesn''t matter. You and your children will pay for it anyway. Way to sell out your own!!

Heck of a job.

I suspect we are going to see more and more of this doom and gloom as we get closer to the election. This isn''t to say the Taliban isn''t a dangerous group of thugs; however, I thought we went over there to fight Al-Qaida. This administration has created a dangerous world for us to live in and then they throw out red herrings at election time telling us how much we need their protection.

The talaban rag heads are just getting there butts kicked all over the sand, they have been hurt and want to try to save face, I don''''t care what the media says, these little camel jockeys are getting beat and bad, what else is there to say.

What else is there to say? Perhaps, that it is a-holes that think as you do that make this world a darker and unsafe, ignorant place.

[randynason]

Of course, it stands to reason that any and all insurgents in any of the Middle Eastern countries will attack us as long as we are there. They hate us, and with good reason. What we have done to the countries in that part of the world is despicable.

Wasn''t the Taliban an offshoot of a CIA backed group that attacked Russians when they occupied Afghanistan? America created this problem.

"Pentagon Expects More Taliban Attacks"


I''m SURE there will be some strategic attacks conveniently conducted in October (October surprise?) to bolster the rethuglicans'' "last minute" campaigning.

"Fear tactics" seem to work every time...

Deja Vu all over again?

Last year was the deadliest year yet for Americans in Afghanistan.

This year''''s casualties are already up by 50% from last year.

Are we "winning" in Afghanistan?

If so, what?

You are so right this adm. has just screwed up once more, took our troops out, sent them to Iraq, let OBL get away, and here we are once again losing, because he won''t send enough troops in to get this thing over, but he wants this territory he will have Iraq, and Afghanistan with guess who in the middle. gheeze I will be so glad to see that helicopter carrying these two awful leaders off to never never land
