The President needs to either shit or get off the pot. Either send in more troops, or get them out of there. This half arsed way it is being run is reminiscent Of Vietnam.

Bring our troops home - NOW!

[TheTruth8018]

1) Bin laden aint been found

2) Taleban aint been defeated

3) Now you got more corruption in the country,

In Iraq

1)Saddam dead, but more killings

@HimmuraTube The US NEVER "trained Bin Laden".

I happen to know the lady who wants to defeat terrorism. And.......Unlike some of you......... I also happen to remember!

Mrs Irwin was tellin' me just the other day that she'd like to get a little "troll village" for her prize winnin' rose garden.....

And how bout that?!?

I believe she's found them......She'll be quite pleased to know.........

There you all are right there!

Its a logical fear (not to want another 9/11 type attack) the problem is we are killing mothers, daughters, sons and fathers over there and most aren't anything but civilians. We are creating enemies and to me thats the biggest fear of mine by being over there. Creating more whom hate America for a legitimate reason.. Not because we are free.. but because we blew the mans kids to bits, or his wife.. or a child turn terrorist because of no father or mother.. Brewing is what we are doing.

"complete the mission"?!? OK, the mission was to drive out the Taliban, capture Osama Bin Laden, and then come home. If Afghanistan wants a tribal government, filled with corruption and terrorist supporters, that's their business. We have no clear goal, no exit strategy whatsoever, only war for profit for soulless mercs like Xe (or Blackwater, or whatever the hell they call themselves now.) and KBR, etc. reaming the US taxpayer out of billions so that our troops can remain targets. Grow up, lady

[HimmuraTube]

"..train Afgan troops, give them support, money, and arms...". Sounds familiar?? The US also trained Bin Laden, gave him money and arms. We have no clear mission and goals. We're simply making things worst for them and us. There's no good end to this occupation.

Draft? Why are people talking about a draft? Things would have to get a whole lot worse to have to enact a draft. We went up against Iraq when they were the 4th largest army in the world and did not need a draft.

[larryne1]

Why isn't anyone talking about the 3000 coffins of American civilians that were used due to our inaction in Afghanistan after the first time Bin Laden tried to blow up the towers? I truly believe that if we do not act to stabilize Afghanistan that history could be repeated.

[TheElefaunt]

lets see where this goes,

one more false flag attack and we could see

the draft,

then will get out of this war.

[Intervene]

More people in Afghanistan, More coffins being sent back home.
