The anti-war liberals/democrats (where are they?) need to organize and protest these costly, fruitless wars. Sadly Obama is more of a warmonger than even Bush. Calling all anti-war democrats!

I am totally shocked. The same speech writers, who wrote the speeches for Bush, is still writing the speeches for Obama. Only change is someone different reading the teleprompter. More wars, more lies, and more death. This is not America anymore. God help US

@StigmataBOB1 Simple pack your bags. Move out of the country.

You probably don't know that W. Bush used 1/20th of the amount of $ Clinton used in Bosnia ( another "unwinnable war" ). Also, W. Bush used only 6,000soldiers in the management of Afg for a country the size the Texas w/ a population 14Xlarger. In realisty, the American effort in Afg is just now starting. I recommend watching Max Boot, a military historian and Peter Bergen, an intelligence analyst & journalist debate whether or not Afg is a winnable war ( Bloomberg network Intelligence Squared)

The bloodiest year in Afghanistan was equal to 4 days of the bloodiest year in Vietnam in terms of KIAs. If history is doomed to "repeat itself" then should we not consider the history of doing nothing in Afghanistan which gave Afg a government willing to host Al Qaeda. This Russia Today is complete shit when it comes to balanced journalism. Even Al Jazeera is better than this crap.

Bin laden and his bro were bush partners, senior bush was having a meeting with bin laden bro on the morning of 9/11. The bin ladens gave millions of dollars to usa lawyers in texas who donated the money to the bush campaign fund, this got around the law that us presidential candidates cannot use foreign funds for campaigns. Al Caeda is bush cia monster that they created in the 80s and 90s in order to fire up jihad to have a terror agent to scare the world into funding increased military ops.

after "they" kill all the taliban, "our government" will find another "enemy" to sink our billions of tax dollars into, this is how the politicians steal from american citizens, find some country to invade and channel money spent into companies that the government owns and is in bed with like military arms suppliers, its called extortion, or theft, but they do it in a backdoor way. War is the biggest business on planet earth, its where most money gets spent and ends up in the elite pockets.

The war is a threat to our national security. Well spend over $100 billion next year to bomb a nation of poor people while we re-energize the Taliban, destabilize Pakistan, deplete our army and put more of our soldiers lives on the line. Meanwhile, back here in the USA, 15 million people are out of work. People are losing their jobs, their health care, their savings, their investments, and their retirement security.

You people just soak up the lies like a sponge. Same message in Iraq - THE TERRORISTS!. You want to know why he is there? Imagine your playing RISK. Who's afghanistan's neighbour IRAN. If IRAN says they want ISRAEL off the planet you should probably set up a base in the 2 neighbouring country's. God damn you people are stupid.
