Once a healthcare bill is passed and signed by the president, 40 thousand soldiers will be on their way. Senators from states that supply weapons to our troops got down with the program only after being assured of a troop buildup in Afghanistan. Its a give and take world.  View

The war in Afghanistan is not against mythical Al-Qada, it is against millions of dissidents that refuse to respect the Karzai government. Thousands of disconnected groups led by fierce tribal chieftains demand autonomy. Each group has to be weeded out. It is a delicate process that might take decades. Karzai as commander in chief must lead the charge. A quieter and friendlier Afghanistan and the withdrawal of most American troops will come after the final battle is won.  View

MY name is Debbie and my son is a member in the 5th Stryker Brigade 1-17 ID fighting in Afghanistan. I can't just sit here any longer while the extra troops they need are being pushed on the back burner. I created a YouTube video and I hope you can help by watching it and passing it along. We need to keep our Soldiers in the forefront and I don't know how else to help them. Please help me and view this video immediately and pass it on. This comes straight from the heart of the mother of an American Soldier. Here is a link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zWmTi86drU  View

It would take 5 thousand medics armed with urine cups to clean up the government in Afghanistan. Addicts must be weeded out and replaced with drug free politicians.  View

It's been a year...and, certainly, numerous people painted him as a type of god. He's not. He's a human being with a huge plate full of issues to work through, including Afghanistan; a U.S. recession; an increasingly split political U.S. Too early to truly evaluate.  View

While it would be wonderful to get U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, it surely seems as if there are continuous troubles there--and that we probably shouldn't leave just yet if we want to weaken the Taliban. I understand that the U.S. army perhaps does not have the proper skills or people to start police stations, etc. But, for pete's sake, couldn't they get some of those people/resources sent to Afghanistan? It seems like a small step that could (at least partially) help a much larger conflict.  View

Of course we are not in Afghanistan and of course we all have the right to freedom of speech (hence me speaking my mind). Unfortunately you don't realize and by the looks of it, you will NEVER realize the damage you're doing to your "beloved" America by being so racist. No, I'm not a moron for thinking this costume and the people wearing it are racist. As a matter of fact, it shows that I think beyond of what is in front of me. To you all simple-minded, it is just a costume. But to someone with more depth, it is a racist costume. You will probably never have the mentality to understand how it is racist but I can only pray that your children won't be so dim-witted.  View

We are not in Afghanistan... This is USA and we all have the right to say what's our mind or dress the way you like. There are more then a 1000 believes that will make people react to whatever you decide to dress. Personally I don't give a rat's ass about other people trying to use their believes to make a point... I got by today's era and not ice-age way of thinking. Everyone should respect 100% of what others do or dress like an Illgegal or Jesus. Again, we are not in the past or in an Afghanistan life style.  View

So now the de facto ruler of Afghanistan is a fraud... this would be a great opportunity to decide to stop support.  View

The Western Empire (predominant U$) established Mujihadeen (Afghan), replaced by the Taliban, today rolled up with others into mythology called the Al-Qaeda, and the CIA cash crop of Afghan and Columbia finance the Military/Industrial perpetual war economy with a Check-Kiting Trade-Dollar in the absents of any morality or decency. Blame the Afghanistan (only) for not all dying in the 1979-2009 "Give Russia Their Own Vietnam" and our Military/Industrial needing a time to regroup (in Afghan) to eventually spread their 'Constabulary' world domination into other parts of the world.  View
