- I anticipate most of the Middle Eastern countries that have thus far put up with us will demand the evacuation of our military presence from their lands. I think Iraq has put a bad taste in the mouth of the region, as a whole. No one trusts us any more and they won''t, for a long time to come.

- Whatever happened to Osama bin Laden, the guy we started the war on terror to get? To bush/cheney/mcbush, he''''s Osama been forgotten. They only mention him when they are trying to "scare" up votes.

How pathetically sad is it, that our troops on the ground in Afghanistan, are now referring to it as "forgot-istan".
Talk about a morale buster!! I don''t know how our troops find the fortitude to withstand it - they are certainly a testament to their own greatness! - Reply to this comment

- "they need more troops to have the long-term impact that we all want to have there." Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Whats that? U.S. control of a trans-Afghanistan oil pipeline, transferring oil from Central Asia to the Pakistani coast? (i.e. the same thing the Russians invaded Afghanistan for, and subsequently got embroiled in their own private Vietnam?) - Reply to this comment

- We need more troops than we have for Afghanistan and littledickieC, georgy-boy and mcbush are still trying to drum up another war in Iran.
It''s interesting how often Obama proposes a policy and the terrible threesome are quick to denounce it and say he''s naive. Then after a few weeks or so, they implement that policy as a result of their vast experience. It''s political "slant-hole" drilling. - Reply to this comment
- Everyone keeps decrying Obama for his "lack of experience", yet they keep FOLLOWING HIS IDEAS!!!

Yep, just heard another one. It seems the idiot son is gonna "talk" with Iran. No preconditions. According to the news, Josh Bolton says "It''s like having an Obama administration - six months early." - Reply to this comment
