But there are plenty of significant differances between the plans. I still am not convinced that what Obama is planning is the best course of action. <br /><br />But for you to claim anyone in Iraq or Afghanistan is happy to see us there - i have to wonder what cool aid are you drinking? Just ask yourself - would I be happy to see a hundred thousand French troops occuping the United States? Would you tea party advocates who just so dispise our system of government and the present governing people invite say Canada to come into our country and oust them? You guys on the Right need to start thinking more with your head and less with your gonads.vomamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771110324011697887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-43927214438184679042009-12-02T03:20:16.938-08:002009-12-02T03:20:16.938-08:00Chris, here's the problem with your logic. We ...Chris, here's the problem with your logic. We will leave some day, though I'm not sure when that day will come. And when we do leave, the Taliban will still be there and there still won't be an Afghan army.<br /><br />So, whether it's 2011 or 2015 or 2020, the Taliban will again be in control of Afghanistan. There is no hope that there will ever be an Afghan national army.<br /><br />Afghanistan is a deeply tribal country and their loyalties are to their tribes, not the central government, if you can even call the Karzai government that.Bruce Fealkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134820420899225811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-67960315198746806012009-12-01T16:36:17.081-08:002009-12-01T16:36:17.081-08:00Is that all you could find is 5 people?

It would be nice if the media would let us know what the people of Afghanisan wanted. Because if they want the <br />Taliban when we leave they will get what they want or we can never leave. Iraq the people loved us. The Iraqi people are happy we are following the Bush pull out.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905362327313044045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-78509229577732131522009-12-01T03:52:52.400-08:002009-12-01T03:52:52.400-08:00And now we have confirmed information that the Bus...And now we have confirmed information that the Bush Regime deliberately let Ben Laudin escape at Tora Bora. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see why - it was to smooth the way for the invasion of Iraq.vomamikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771110324011697887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048616928367391002.post-54302602069695674202009-11-30T13:56:09.232-08:002009-11-30T13:56:09.232-08:00It would appear that Obama is listening to the Haw...It would appear that Obama is listening to the Hawks and not the doves.
