1. Watching but you know I have serious

disagreements with US foreign policy and will not support any occupations anywhere. I do not support this Afghanistan mess and am very worried that it will destroy Obama.

[pleah]

2. I agree.

3. I don't see that his policy is an occupation. I think it is what is needed

we are stablizing a country that we left in shambles when we jumped into Iraq. We are going to root out the organizations that actually are planning to cause injury and pain to US citizens and Europe. Also, in Pakistan where if they suceed in overthrowing the government, they would have access to a nuclear weapon or at least fissile materials and possess a strong desire to cause injury, pain and government overthrow in India. He and our allies are pledging support to bring in engineers, agricultural specialists, etc not just troops. The goal is to help Afghanistan become a self sufficient country both economically as well as militarily. The goal is not to occupy and it is not for regime change. There is a MAJOR difference.

4. ask the russians about that. nt

6. Russia didn't have the backing of other nations in what was being done. Quite the opposite.

Their is a MAJOR difference.

but it evidently is our job to secure the oil for our corporate masters.

[Mari333]

11. no, we heard the same old shit from GW...

blah blah blah gotta fight terra blah blah blah..gotta root out the evil ones..blah blah blah..its the same old packaged shite..
when it was always just about securing an oil pipeline.
New package , same old shite.

[Windy]

12. Get out more. Travel outside of the US please. Naivety is not productive imo. nt

[Mari333]

14. great response kid. attack the messenger

dont come up with any actual facts to get in your way.
having been out of the USA more times then the yrs you have been alive, I have a pretty good perspective on what truly civilized countries behave like. and knee jerk nationalism and populism doesnt bode well with me. nor does military imperialism.

[Windy]

15. I gave facts in my previous posts. You chose to ignore them. nt

[Mari333]

16. based on what? all I saw was your opinion

and I suggest you enlist if you are so gung ho.

[bridgit]

13. No, we're the ones that can't discern the difference between a 'police action' and a war...

A pipeline from a pipe full of poppy seeds. If it is all just the same old shite...then why doesn't Obama just pass out the reams of Kinko'd paper the other guys left behind and call it a press conference?

[Mari333]

5. I agree. It does not bode well. wish a reporter would ask

pertinent questions.
