The only winner is the defense industry.

Without continuous war, they're out of business.

It's sick that they can lobby members of congress to keep us at war.

The prison industry lobbies for stricter laws, and we imprison more people than anywhere else in the world--you are 7 times more likely to be imprisoned in the US than in Europe where prison is NOT an industry.

The food industry lobbies for GMO foods and other poisons and our rate of cancer and other food-related diseases skyrockets.

As long as corporations control congress and the agencies which are supposed to regulate them, we're screwed.

There can be no victory in Afghanistan, but defense contractors don't want victory--they want endless war--and endless profits, at the cost of American lives and dollars.

We have been working hard to make enemies of the people in Afghanistan ever since we invaded, bombing wedding parties and most recently, our troops attacked a popular mayor's home and murdered his cook and driver.

Watch "Taxi To The Dark Side" to see how our troops tortured an innocent taxi driver to death in medieval torture chamber style, making all residents of his village our enemies.

We had a brief moment after the invasion to win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people, but our commanders ordered actions which achieved precisely the opposite.

While the Australian government talks about confronting terrorism, a recent count undertaken by the Associated Press found that so far this year, foreign forces have been responsible for 100 civilian deaths, while those fighting the occupation who have been responsible for 60 civilian deaths.

More Afghans (36%) blame foreign forces for the violence that is occurring than those who blame the Taliban (27%). "

Rachel may be a lesbian, but what does that have to do with anything? Is she the reason you are not getting laid? Oh, Maddow received the Rhodes Scholar award. Hannity dropped out of college... twice. You, Loyolajack(ov) and those like you, are a poison to this country. FUCK those who, like you, have a basic and instinctual aversion or hostility to measured thought & independent critical thinking. You just echo what you're told, and then project it onto others as if to hide your crime. Textbook.

How is this supporting the war first i believe since she was talking about bush as a lame duck she was not responding to Obama continued support of the war like your intro suggested. By the sounds of it, she would like to see these problems that we have gotten ourselves into handed through diplomacy and international pressure, only taking military action as a last resort, how is that a bad thing. As a liberal i do say bring the troops home and am disappoint Obama has not made moves towards that.

[bschou]

Disgusting. She and her fellow msnbc were so harshly critical of the Bush administrations handling of war. Now they're calling for an invasion of Pakistan since Obama has turned into as a war monger as Bush. These talking heads have no integrity, principle, or consistency. They just blindly follow whatever political party they get paid by.

Dems and repubs are both the War Party.

Maddow is a shallow no spine yellow journalist like the rest of them.

[wegaify]

Good God, everyone of them is fricken crazy. They care more about hating each other then about loving their people. I beg you all to read Julius Caesar by Shakespeare, not because I think President Obama or former President Bush were Julius Caesars, but to see how easily the people were swayed by words of promise and speeches on their freedom being taken.

[Kashmala83]

We see no change with obama. he is just a nice Bush. He is worse than bush. Why are you doing this in our country. Why are you allowing this in our country?

We want peace in our region we are not radical. We just want a life with dignity and peace. Leave Afghanistan and stop the expanding of war into Pakistan. plz
