We know now that the Islamic extremists intend to destroy us.

Yeah, all 10,000 of them. America is surely doomed.

I heard much of this same talk in 1937 and 1938. We pulled back into our shell and woke astonished on December 7, 1941. In our hearts we knew what Hitler's and Tojo's intentions were. We know now that the Islamic extremists intend to destroy us. What goes around comes around.

I also heard comments similar to that years ago. I'm old enough and I have had a good enough life that I don't care what happens to me....or to you but I am concerned about my grandchildren.

Barack Obama should protect the Farmers of Helmand. Their medicinal crops of poppies and cannabis are vital. The Felons infesting Afghanistan are deranged and perverse from extreme narcotics like isomized hashish, PCP ("T"), and psychosis-inducing mushrooms. They consider street heroin and methamphetamine to be "mild, party drugs". Technology and methodology are the real answers. Kabul needs every advantage to win this fight.

From Fox News: "U.S. Moves Away From Afghanistan Drug Eradication"

Let's see, in Iraq, the American public was supposed to believe that U.S. troops were protecting the world from weapons of mass destruction. (What was the name of the British weapons inspector in Iraq who was suicided? Oh, yeah, Dr. David Kelly.)

Now, U.S. troops are *NOT* in Afghanistan to protect the world from heroin trafficking.

A recent survey of hotels worldwide concluded that French people, not Islamic fundamentalists, are the worst tourists.

SO WHY ARE COALITION FORCES IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, PAKISTAN, AND SOON-TO-BE POLAND AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC?

The Obama Administration is actually clueless in Afghanistan.It is only playing for time to benefit from some stroke of luck.The policy of reliance on Afghan forces looks wonderful on paper.Otherwise, it is an invitation to disaster because such forces will not stand up and fight the Taliban.

Afghan had better start growing more poppies to pay for all those troops.

Does anyone think that training Muslim Armies is a good policy? Obama LOVES strengthening any Muslim country he can find, Somalia, Iraq, Afghansitan, Pakistan, the Palestinians. We really have to question his motives here.
