You'd think it would be the bleeding heart liberals who would want us to stay indefinitely, spending blood and treasure in Afghanistan for humanitarian reasons...but no...

They'd probably reason this sort of thing wouldn't be happening if we weren't over there to begin with. As if Taliban brutality weren't a reality prior to OEF.

Taliban hang 7-year-old boy accused of being a spy:

Twisted Taliban militants took terror to a new low by accusing a 7-year-old boy of spying - and hanging him high. That outrage drew immediate condemnation from the Afghan president, who called the execution a "crime against humanity."

"I don't think there's a crime bigger than that, that even the most inhuman forces on earth can commit," Hamid Karzai said Thursday. "A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy. A 7-year-old boy cannot be anything but a 7-year-old boy

Collective punishment (the child’s father was anti-Taliban) is something reminiscent of nazi germany and stalin. But of course these are the same people who send their own children to death strapped up with suicide bombs.

I am still unclear as to why we waste so much blood and treasure occupying this place when it would be better to simply nuke them out of existence and start over again.

And we courts martial Navy Seals for giving a terrorist a fat lip. If i were president I would announce that we would fully comply with the Geneva Convention and start treating terrorists like terrorists. They would be questioned until every bit of useful information was wrung out of them and then they would be covered with hog lard, shot and buried.
