Stop calling Iraq and Afghanistan “wars.”  They’re occupations, military actions, police actions, any number of things but they are not wars.  Giving them that name legitimizes them both legally (Congress has NOT declared war) and semantically (“war” sounds more noble, more epic, than the accurate alternatives). 
Come on, TD, use the language properly!

Paddy Ashdown (or Paddy Pantsdown, as the Brits called him after the revelation of an affair he had with one of his staff) said on BBC that the war in Afghanistan is “almost lost”. When guys like this say stuff like that, it’s already a lost cause. Think of Bernanke and the “almost recession”.

Continuing a war when there is no hope of winning, and which was waged on false pretences anyway, is immoral and unethical. There is no excuse for any more people of any nationality to die there. NATO is just trying to protect its turf and expand its influence. It no longer has a reason to exist, so it’s decided to provoke one. These guys make me sick.

As the train that is the Bush administration begins to slow….... Afghanistan, a war now in its seventh year…”

Yet another story for THE LOVERS OF WARS.

I ditto Jim Yell.

...that the Taliban’s prior reign in Afghanistan, and all the havok they created, would be enough to shake NATO countries out of their complacency and commit the necessary resources to Afghanistan.  Virtually everyone wants to see a stable Afghanistan, but as usual, UN countries are loathe to put their resources where their mouths are.

Hard too accept that this individual is still calling all the shots for the world in the US’s moral and self-righteous name. And the people are complicit in allowing this to continue, and continue it will until his term is over because everyone is just sitting on the edge of their seat waiting and waiting for November to show up and then we can all breath freely again, supposedly.
Someone as deranged and criminal as w is being allowed to continue at the helm of our government while laughing and singing and dancing up a storm. This is his and the neocon’s victory celebration for getting by with all the illegal actions and subversions they have brought to fruition. We all are well deserving for the misery that is about to fall down upon us in the upcoming depression and whatever else follows.
Or, can anyone even suggest a doable and workable remedy to all w and dick & co have wrought?
