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. ...

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 ...

By Daniel TencerFriday, January 1st, 2010 -- 3:14 pm An historic blow against CIA -- Intel official promises revenge on Taliban -- Two of the dead were Blackwater employees The suicide bombing Wednesday that took the lives of seven CIA officers and contractors in Afghanistan may have had help from an informant close to the spy agency, and may have been carried out on behalf of a Taliban warlord family that was once an ally of the CIA, news reports say.

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 ...

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 ...

"A direct descendant of Brigham Young, Sue Emmett left the church (at 55) because of the very values she says would make Romney a frightening president. She speaks exclusively with Jamie Reno. Sue Emmett is Mormon royalty. Her great-great-grandfather was Brigham Young, the founder of Salt Lake City, first governor of Utah, and president and prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) from 1847 until his death in 1877."

an hour ago. Aside from feeling good to be home, I also feel protected because I have Medicare. If Romney were the president, I'd be out on the street with no insurance for instances like this because he hates Medicare. This is my 14th hospitalization since 2006 for the same problem, which is very painful and caused by a genetic disease I inherited. My disease is incurable. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ROMNEY NOR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS REPUBLICAN. I will always vote my best intere ...

My daughter is past 35. She was married before but that ended in divorce a few years ago. I was very at ease when she was married and figured her husband had her back. Fast forward. We live in the same town. She is now divorced and I am her next of kin. I know absolutely nothing about her business, not where she banks, not where she has her medical insurance, would think probably with her job, but not sure, don't know her physician's name, passwords to her computer, absolutely not ...

If the GOP does not nominate a candidate that represents true conservative values, get used to 4 more years of Obama.

This article is by Scott Paulson and over the attacks and I completely agree with him. Following protests in the capital of Egypt this week, the deadly attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya that took the life of four Americans yesterday, and the latest aggressive protests at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen’s capital that are occurring today, President Barack Obama needs to stay in Washington, D.C., suspend campaigning, and address the threats against Americans in the Middle East.
