Aren't these "forces of darkness" (which are those who plan on jihading the world into submission to Islam), living amongst us right here in the USA? Yet strangely its somehow important to surgically find "taliban" and kill or capture them in freakin Afghanistan? What constitutes a "win" if the mosques across the world generate hundreds more children filled with hate for "infidels" for every one "taliban" killed? Furthermore... a 'surgical' win is impossible given the situation. Go nuclear or get out. "Damn the political torpedos - full steam ahead" or get the F out.

SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVER LEARN THERE IS NOTHING TO WIN IN AFGHANISTAN .

WE ARE NOT THERE TO WIIN BUT TO MAINTAIN A STATE OF PERPETUAL WAR (NEW COLD WAR) AND TO PUT AN AMERICAN PUPPET GOVERNMENT TO SECURE THE UNOCAL PIPELINES AND THE HEROIN TRADE WHICH FINANCE "BLACK OPERATIONS' USING THE FALSE JUSTIFICATION OF THE "WAR ON TERROR" AND THE SEARCH OF BIN LADEN WHO MOST LIKELY DIED YEARS AGO OF KIDNEY DISEASE (ALL THESE OSAMA VIDEOS ARE PHONY AND MADE BY AN ISRAELI OWNED DEFENSE CONTRACTOR WORKING WITH THE PENTAGON INTEL CENTER, AL QAIDA AND BIN LADEN ARE CIA ASSETS, JUST CHECK (SEARCH GOOGLE :
AL QAIDA THE DATABASE BY PIERRE HENRI BUNEL AND WAYNE MADSEN) OR SEE

We need to win this war and play by the same rules those guys play and then we can save our troops lives along with win the war! But Obama is no Commander in Chief and I feel so sorry for our military to have him as their boss! What a same! I love all our military guys and they do a terrific job. Loosen up the reins on them a bit and let them win this war for us. Hang in there guys as November 2010 will bring some much needed changes in our government. I salute each and everyone of you along with loving you guys! You are the best!

You now know who the Cheney assassination squad are that will be exposed in Tony Blair's hearings. As Bush said you either with him or against him and this squad had no problem killing people to cooperate. Now notice how rich the Afghan Police chief is because of US tax dollars. Look we're been buying people in the Middle East and they want it to continue. President Karzai and his brother are getting money from the US and the Taliban for over 8 years until Obama stopped it. Now we know who really killed Dr. Kelly of the UK before he exposed the lies told by Blair and Bush. Bin Laden was seen but the Military was ordered not to capture him in 2002 as reported in the Blair memos. But it's good to see the Bush/Cheney propaganda is still at work. Problem is Tony Blair will expose the truth and even 60 minutes will been seen are pushing liars on their show. Bush/Cheney built the Taliban and Al Queada to be famous as in the Middle East their less then nothing not even in the news.

I'm telling you it makes me rethink my civil libertarian position. It really does. Yes, we need to stand for something but NOT if it's going to kill us. The story was that when Cheney was told that the ways he wanted to fight Al Qaeda might be unconstitutional he was said to have said "F" the constitution. I was in horror. But you know sometimes I think in the corner of my mind that they may have been right. Do we want to live or do we want to die. Do we want the western conception of free thought to prevail or don't we and what is it worth to us to eradicate some of our precious hard fought for rights? I do NOT know. Sometimes I think I might be consummately wrong.
