Thoughts on our plans for Afghanistan anyone? I'm never pro-war, but a sudden pullout could be very dangerous for us as well as the Afghan people. I would very much like to see American aid based on "performance". Karzai may have been elected, but he's corrupt and inept. Hawks are uncomfortable with a timetable being announced. I like it, myself. It gives the Afghan government an incentive to get their poo together, get people trained. It puts the cards on the table for everyon ...

She's been reporting on Afghan since 1996. She certainly knows the region and explains the Taliban and al Qaeda. Not a long read; worth reading. ========================== (CNN) -- October has been the deadliest month for the US and NATO militaries fighting in Afghanistan as well as UN workers trying to organize an election runoff. Surely the surge in deaths serves to underscore why Afghanistan matters. For all the debate happening away from the battlefield, here are a couple of importan ...

On November 20 (yesterday) George W. Bush (AKA "The Great One") was on Jay Leno. Here what he said about DRAWING DOWN IN AFGHANISTAN: “I don’t know how big the footprint needs to be, but I do know that if we leave too early, women and young girls will suffer a lot,” Bush said of U.S. troops’ exit from the country. I just do not understand why the Republicans are not happy. ...

On Monday, President Donald Trump laid out his strategy for the war in Afghanistan going into 2018 and beyond. While reaction to the strategy was somewhat mixed, there was one thing that stuck out: Wait, didn't former President Barack Obama say that we'd be done with this by now? Why yes, yes he did. Let's take a trip in the way-back machine and look at some now-regrettable tweets, dug up by Fox's Stephen Miller: FACT: Unlike President Obama, Romney has no plan to ...

My father, who saw some pretty terrible sights during World War 2, used to frequently tell me that bad things happen in war, but I don’t think he ever ran into anything like this. A story breaking over the weekend reveals that our “Afghan allies” have been engaged in a sick practice referred to as “boy play” in the common parlance. This essentially translates into abducting, imprisoning and raping young boys, keeping them as sex slaves. As if that wasn’t shocking enough, it’s appar ...

Politico has revealed the true price President Obama was willing to pay to secure the nuclear arms deal with Iran. In order to do so, Obama dropped charges against Amin Ravan, an arms smuggler responsible for the deaths of hundreds of U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq. Ravan was involved with providing Iran with components of bombs that Shiite militias used over a long period of time. This was known a number of years ago, but MSM never reported it until now. Obama administration isn&# ...

This is for those who like and understand Keith Olbermann. It's about our occupation and war against Afghanistan. There's very little, if anything, that I disagree with him about. I hope those who do not care for Olbermann will at least listen to the comment and then give their opinions so we can have a real debate on this thread and not just drive-by one-liners like "I hate Olbermann" or "I hate MSNBC" or other comments along those lines. This is an OPINION piece by Keith Olberm ...

Think of the potential! Amazing! The war, the terrorists--all of it. WASHINGTON — The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves and enough to fundamentally alter the Afghan economy and perhaps the Afghan war itself, according to senior American government officials. The previously unknown deposits — including huge veins of iron, copper, cobalt, gold and critical industrial metals like lithiu ...

Here's a story and link of the following: Although the glory days of the United States Cavalry are long gone, horses still serve the military. At Smith Lake Stables, adjacent to Fort Bragg, N.C., 36 horses are owned by the U.S. government and serve their country in two assignments. In one assignment, they act as equine ambassadors, linking the civilian public to the military. The horses are used in an annual summer camp program and in weekly day camp activities for home-schooled kids. But ...

Surrounded by increasing violence and instability, U.S. contractors left behind in Afghanistan are raising alarm about the potential for another Benghazi tragedy, saying the State Department isn't sharing with them a plan to evacuate if insurgents launch a debilitating attack. The concerns are heightened by the fact that many of those civilians doing the security and nation-building work of the U.S. government hold sensitive security clearances, making them an attractive target for the e ...

Surely they do not really care that much about Michael Brown or Darren Wilson personally. Do you think it is all unjustified protesting? Michael Brown ISSUE was a spark to a movement. This movement represents 2 things: 1. Racial discrimination by police/authority and society in the U.S. 2. Police aggression and brutality/over-reaction, frequently against people of color (brown and tan). Obviously, the extreme looting/burning in St. Louis is out of line.&n ...

Thank you Mr. President for being there for our fallen soldiers.DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — Standing in the pre-dawn darkness, President Barack Obama saw the real cost of the war in Afghanistan: The Americans who return in flag-covered cases while much of the nation sleeps in peace.In a midnight dash to this Delaware base, where U.S. forces killed overseas come home, Obama honored the return of 18 fallen Americans Thursday. All were killed in Afghanistan this week, a brutal stretch that t ...

Okay...so here is my thing. I don't like unions. I think that unions have used and abused union workers all the while saying they are there to protect them. Union bosses have made outlandish salaries and are as crooked as the greedy CEOs who also make outlandish salaries. I understand that union workers in WI are ticked. No one wants to lose money...just ask anyone in the private sector who has taken a pay cut or lost their jobs entirely. It sucks and it isn&# ...

In my opinion, this is getting out of control and this latest stunt on the house floor is out of line. Co-founder of the Illinois Black Panthers, Rep. Bobby Rush had a melt down on the house floor as he donned a hoodie and recited the Bible.
