My son is a Marine in NW Helmund Province- remote outpost. I was wondering why he was asking me to send food, then I read other posts by Marine families (Military.com)saying that their Marines were buying cows ...from the Afghan locals just to be able to eat. My son told me they have gone three weeks without a supply drop and are cooking whatever they have gotten from home.If they can't feed the men that are there now, God help the ones yet to go. Someone needs to blow the lid off this.
I can?t believe this crap!!! 2920 days and counting ? you know just think of what the greatest military might in the world can do in 1 day but hey after 8 years all Obama can come up with is send more troops? here?s something interesting I read though. <a href=" http://ketiva.com/Politics_and_Government/obama_isnt_eight_years_in_afghanistan_enough1.html">http://ketiva.com/Politics_and_Government/obama_isnt_eight_years_in_afghanistan_enough1.html</a>
wat?! this is BS man!! he promised in his speech that he'd get the troops outta there!! thats the reason some people voted for him in the first place and now he pulls off this kinda s**t?!
To All Libs: Shut up. We need to finish this, which means more troops. You have no idea what you're talking about. BTW, McChrystal asked for 60,000 with a MINIMUM of 40,000. Obama needs to listen to him because he knows NOTHING about the military. Did Obama go to West Point? No. He didnt. And the pullout date will just serve as a rallying call for the terrorists. Your welcome for the enlightenment.
Amazing. No matter what acts of terror are perpetrated in the name of Islam its always the fault of Western civilization and Chrstianity (via nutty conspiriacy theories that are baseless). The appoligists for Islam that enjoy the freedom of speech that is a Western Christian tradition continue to work to undermine the civiliztion that protects them. As for the Muslim community...plenty of protests over a few harmless cartoons yet silence when it comes to 9-11, London bus bombings, train bombings in Spain etc..etc. Noloyalisti...have your grand-daughter fitted for her burka.
This whole Afghanistan fiasco (it is only a fiasco for the troops and the taxpayers) is about the military-industrial complex controlling the heroin and other money laundering operations for the big corporations.
That is why the puppeteers had their puppets, the Bush Crime Family, instigate the fraudulent War on Terror. What a bunch of ignorant, sorry, sad suckers we are.
Empire-George,
Of particular significance was the donation of US-made FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems, which caused a small increase in aircraft losses of the Soviet Air Force.

And if you may recall, due to your apparent I.Q. you probably don't, the Afghans have the ability to duplicate the technology ever since they've had it in there hands.
Come On Empire-George, give me a piece of your mind. You don't know what I know and don't know so you can't say anything about it. I found you a source and now you can't even own up and say you were wrong. What's up with that?
In order for Afghanistan to be considered a failed nation-state, it would have to have been a successful one in the past. Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Afghanistan has been nothing more than a collection of fiefdoms. It's a miracle that the Taliban was actually able to pull the country together at all. I say abandon Afghanistan and invite Iran to rule the area. That should keep the Persians busy for quite a lonnngg time! Kill two birds with one stone for once.
The War on Terror is a fraud. Created by the Bush Crime Family neocons for political and financial gain. The laid it all out in the PNAC document and ignored ALL the warnings for 911. If they did not plan and carry out the attacks themselves, they were FULLY aware of it and let it happen.
whether you want to admit it or not.. Unless of course you listen to Hillary, there is still a war on terror going on and probaly will be for the rest of our life times.
I understand that it was phrased this way by the last administration. But, you really can't have a war on an emotion. It needs to be on a group of people, so shall we call it radical islamism? Or, what/who exactly are we fighting? Surely no-one expects terror to sit down and sign a peace treaty. I think we are actually chasing criminals and that requires a police action not a war. Sending our troops overseas and then having them return fire with anyone who engages them is really a poor way to engage in warfare.

And global climate change is a hoax
And 911 was done by Afghani terrorists
And Fox News is news channel
