'Staying in Afghanistan will not make America safe'

As new elections are called in Afghanistan, a fight is breaking out in the Obama Administration over when or if to send more U.S. troops to the country. Some experts say that troops shouldn't be sent to Afghanistan until it has a legitimate government, but what constitutes a legitimate government is up for debate. Dina Gusovsky talks to Malou Innocent from the Cato Institute about the ongoing
issues in Afghanistan.

I agree. Bring all American troops home all over the world. Do you know how much money we would save, not to mention the lives of many women and men in these wars.

Ta.

All news channels have opinion show such as glenn beck for fox and Keith olbermann for MSNBC, but when it comes to real time news, Fox is where it's at. And just because they don't treat Bush like shit and insult the man everyday doesnt mean they are a propaganda tool for him. No fox isnt so low as to insult a president every day like you'll see over at most other "new" channels. So that is why Fox is where its at at the top of the news ratings..

FOX NEWS IS NOT RUN BY THE STATE and was known for being the propaganda speer of the bush presidency ...

[MoscowMaestro]

Doooooooh!

STATE RUN MEDIA HAS NO CREDIBILITY. How ever I enjoy watching RT videos to gain other points of views.

The people who need to be discussing these issues are the people of Afghanistan. There is an actually a peace movement in afghanistan that is not being included in the debates. They say they can deal with there own problem! They say the people can come together to deal with the issues on taliban and U.S. troops. They are faced with two obstacles U.S. aggression on one side and Taliban on the other side. INTERVIEW THEM RT!

you can't have a war on terrorism its like a war on dandruff can't win it's everywhere.....but ,I see you misinterpreted my comment like I'm some right-wing nut case who lost someone on 9/11 or somthing...or a republican-I'm neither political party .When I made that comment I was saying what we are doing oversea's makes us look bad.I do agree with what you said with the media being bullshit I also think it's just another thing that divides the country.I like that quote that you recited.

[poodle559]

Sure. The obvious one is that terrorism isn't a group, an army, a country or anything like that, it's a method, a tactic. How can you have a war on a tactic?

Find out where Al-Qadea and bin laden came from. Flying planes in to buildings isn't terrorism, it's murder. The terrorism follows that in the way of bullshit spoon fed to the masses by corrupt media outlets and governments for the purpose of control.Give up liberty for security you get despotism and tyranny and history shows us this.
