Military Confirms One Serviceman Missing For 3 Days; Militants Say They May Consider Prisoner Swap

Afghanistan has nothing we need. No resources. No money. Nothing.

But what we do need is for it to stop harboring and fostering terrorists who get on planes and destroy our buildings and kill our people. Now, if the Afghan people would rise up and destroy these idiots...then we would be out of there as fast as we can load the trucks. But, they want to continue to harbor these criminals...then they will continue to live in a war zone.

By the way, the reason why your gas prices have not fallen because of invading Iraq is because you ****ed it up!

[Mortarman29]

See Hower...you get lost in the what-ifs. It is the argument of a person who cannot debate!

It matters not if the bank robber shot at the cop and hit the teller, because he was trying to feed his family. He was committing a crime of bank robbery, and added to it the crimes of assaulting a police officer and murder of the teller. All of those are immoral.

Now, if the cop (no matter what he is doing illegal on the side) is upholding the law, and seeks to stop this criminal from stealing the property of another, and that criminal shoots at him, and he shoots back and accidentally hits the teller...it is not murder. Well, in some states it is because the criminal actually gets charged with murder even though the cop fired the gun.

This is simple ethics and morality. I can see you are lost.

Do you really not understand the significance of Afghanistan? Ask yourself why so many countries have tried to invade it? ....... and all have failed incidentally!

[Mortarman29]

What do we want in Afghanistan/ There is nothing there!!
What do we want in Iraq? If we wanted oil, we would have been tapping it by now and my gasoline prices would be lower!!

Here is what we want? Leave us alone. Dont bomb our buildings, dont shoot at our planes, dont kill our people, dont mess with our friends, and we will ignore you. It is very simple!

[mcintoshlou]

you are an anti american fool

[Mortarman29]

You are confusing me with Obama.

[hower4]

That's mostly true, except that you only mess with people who have something you want, and then you pretend it's about morality.

Joe, Joe, Joe, Obama clearly stated that the troops would be pulled from Iraq by the end of 2011 and would be adding more to Afghanistan.

It's pretty sad when a Canadian knows more than you. : )

And what are you complaining about? I thought the republicans were FOR war??

[mcintoshlou]

Muslims are not terrorist fascists,

just as most christian are not terrorist fascists,

this is the reason that attacking a defenseless Islamic country

make about as much sense as attacking the South for what

timothy mcveigh did.
