Bush isn't President, Obama is.

And this is the war the Democrats wanted and got. Obama has shipped nearly 20,000 more troops there this year.

I wonder when Nancy and Harry are going to request a "timetable" and plan for Afganistan? lol

Where was Twitter!!?,,,woulda been a great shot,,,,
,,helicopter shuddering from the initial missile
blast then ablaze in the sky loaded with foreign
contractors planning how they're going to make money
off of the war spiraling downward trailing smoke and
pieces of the craft falling away and two, three more
explosions sending a couple contractors out on a
freefall of their own then like the big finish
at your local forth-of-July fireworks display
a ground-vibrating blast and ten-seconds worth
of justice has been rendered.

We "kill" or "capture" "terrorists"

"Terrorists" "hostile action" or "kidnap" us.

Every soldier killed in Afghanistan should be replaced by sending a member of Congress to Helmand to fight. How long would the funding last then??

Better yet a son or daughter of a member of Congress. However, Barney, Henry, Harry and Nancy should go along with a son or daughter. And no cushy job on the compound. No way, real fighting with the same protection the other soldiers have on them.

As Bush said "Bring 'em on" . When will these dimwitted American Urban gangsters turned soldiers ever listen. They are all doing the bidding of their masters in the white house, who will never get there hands dirty in the battlefield. Now the poor frontline soldiers and there families have to suffer,,,,
