Yegads!

All this because the brakes on a truck failed???? And of course the compulsory shootings into the stone throwing crowd!

Big disasters from small beginnings.

Looks like we got to learn about foreign policy from scratch.

Agreeing with the first response: it helps if someone has some idea about the countries we are “helping”.

Also helps to train the troops better.

It never was a good idea to let an illiterate and unworldly fool become our GREAT LEADER.

Osama Bin Laden is winning!
Fools are following his script.

T.

The press, the congress and/or the people should call Cheney out tomorrow morning and have him explain our Afghanistan policy.

And the Dutch governemnt was so eager to send our soldiers into this open-air psychiatric clinic, although they know Afghanistan will go down the drain, bastards. Afhanistan is not a failed state, it’s a failed people.
Like Bismarck once said, (an advice so eagerly ignored by the the idiot German emperor).
‘The Balkan is not worth the live of one German soldier.’
Refrasing that quote is long due:
‘The islamic world is not worth the live of one Wester soldier.’

Tony Blair said:

  “Mr Blair said nations might not agree with the original decision to invade Iraq, be critical of mistakes made by the coalition, or wonder if it was all worth the sacrifice. ‘But surely we must all accept this is a genuine attempt to run the race of liberty,’ he said.”

I think it is reasonable to assume he means Afghanistan as well is in the race of liberty.

Tony is nuts! straight up NUTS! (G.W. is dumb. straight up DUMB!)

There is no liberty without security! (Oh yes, there can be security without liberty.)

Liberty is me at age 67 walking my dog alone in the South Mountain Reservation without fear ... or any number of examples, none of which apply to Afghanistan or Iraq that I am aware of.

Freedom is not being able to vote without fear.  It is being able to run for elected office without fear.

When will enough of our incredibly gifted and dedicated young people have died in what is now a refusal of Bush and Blair to admit how wrong they were?

When will enough men, women, and children of Iraq and Afghanistan have died for us to realize that they, too, will keep on dying for what THEY believe? And the patriotism THEY feel?

My god, what have we done? There is no undoing of it. Ever.

The press, the congress ,the people should call Cheney out tomorrow morning and have him explain our Afghanistan policy.

This is your brain on french-fries!

Amazing!  Why is the U.S. in afghanistan?  Oh yes, I remember now - the U.S. is spreading democracy and freedom to the nomadic hordes.

Is world history taught at U.S. universities? Apparently, NOT!
