The bottom line is that the American people do not deserve to lose another kid in this senseless war.

@1959Artie things like bubble gum music and who is fucking who in Hollywierd & rasslin far more important than the State of the Union or National Security, but so is one's personal affairs. With all the wealth and luxury we live in disguised as tremendous personal debt and servitude, actually the other way around by now, who has time for geo politics & government scandals? 150 years ago Lincoln "freed the slaves" (lol) but now most of us are slaves upon the Federal Plantation of America.

A 19 y/o was killed in Afghanistan this week - had his face blown off. I got this information from an eyewitness. If anyone is pro-war, then please tell this young man's parents WHY he died. Otherwise, vote for Ron Paul in 2012.

Architects, Engineers, Chemists, Physicists have done the forensics NYPD and NIST denied existed and have proven the WTC IN NYC  was DEMOLISHED ON 9/11. Go to ae911truth(dot)org Get the truth the mainstream won't touch.

Well you see we still need to have those American soldiers unload about 1 MILLION POUNDS of high nitrogen fertilizer for next years poppy crop.

Those bags get mighty heavy and the extra hands are needed to increase the heroin production. If American banks can't launder those $500 BILLION IN HEROIN DOLLARS through AMERICAN WALL STREET BANKS, there just might be a recession. And sadly this is all too true.

@AccordGTR bang one thumbs up

@steve0281 Iraq was different as Saddam was the leader of a sovereign nation which controlled vast oil reserves and threatened the flow of oil to the US.

Afghan. is a shattered country. It's greatest value is location - ask any real estate agent and they will tell you the value of real estate is location, location, location. From Afghan., the US can't launch attacks on Iran, control resources in the Middle East and Central Asia, and spy on Russia, China, and India.

[steve0281]

@AccordGTR No I don't. I have plenty of friends there and their intel on this is pretty bleak. After a quick review of my previous posts nowhere did I cite that the Taleban controlled the countryside. As for whether or not the US wants to catch OBL that is an interesting question. There is a lot on the plate for the US to consider. I am certain that they would like to get him (as Sadaam) but there are advantages to letting him roam free. None that I like, BTW.

[AccordGTR]

@steve0281 With 100,000+ ISAF supporting him, you think Karzai has control outside of Kabul and Kandahar today? How can you say Taliban "controlled the countryside" when they are not a govt with police, army, airforce, telephones and transportation? Think about it. That's a silly assumption for any intelligent person to think Taliban had control over OBL or the 1,000+ tribes of Afghan. US knew OBL since 1980's. He was FBI Top 10 since 1998. You really believe US govt wants to catch him?

[steve0281]

@AccordGTR The Taleban had nominal control over the country as it held the capital. OBL was very much a fellow traveller and had asylum with them. When the US demanded that he be turned over their offer was to try him under Shariah. Interestingly enough no school of Islamic jurisprudence condemned his actions. They refused to turn him over and now their country is even worse off than before. I don't advocate ground troops anywhere near there.

[AccordGTR]

@steve0281 No, that is not accurate. After the Afghan communist govt was defeated in 1993 to the time of 9/11/01, Afghan. was not a united country as it was devastated by the war. Taliban ruled the South and East while warlords of the "Northern Alliance" ruled the North. Al Qaeda took advantage of this chaotic system. Taliban were not interested in attacking America, they were interested in ruling Afghan. US was already at war with OBL. US created "your story" (propaganda) to invade Afghan.
