  • A "special needs baby" you created by drinking while pregnant and beating it everyday.

  • Afghanistan is a special-needs baby?

    Does that mean we have to carry Afghanistan to public appearances, and then hand it off to Willow or Bristol as soon as no one is looking?

    Or do we use Afghanistan as a stage prop, while cutting off funds to all the other parents with special-needs babies?

  • @Richardgwm Fucking tree hugger.

  • I think Friedman could've made the point without comparing it to a "special needs baby", and I love his books, but he is right. We are spending our way into becoming a third world fascist state. We are readying ourselves for a dictatorship.

  • withdraw all the troops, NOW!

  • and I'm sure Afghanis love being compared to special needs babies.

  • I guess he learned from his mistakes.

  • Uh, I think you're reading a little too much into things.

  • lol

  • how long does that take? We have been there for 8 years. You are prepared to stay for 30?

  • thats not true. I suggest you listen to defense secretary gates talk about the proposed pullout in 2011. It is non existent. If in 2 years the afghan government cannot "protect" themselves then we will stay until they can. The whole timeline thing was a lie so liberals wouldnt lose there shit. But geuss what? We are.
