Whats the answer? Negotiating with the guys who did 9-11 in hopes that they pinky swear they wont do it again?

We’ll see, Obama did tell us he is uniquely qualified to deal with these matters. To the rest of the world it appears we are starting to give in.

With Afghanistan “secured”, Pakistan will focus its energy on Kashmir. Bad time for India coming.... LOL

It may have been about revenge initially (which I totally agreed with), and we killed those guys years ago.

Then it became about winning hearts and minds. Didn't work. AGAIN.

Now I don't know exactly why we're there. It sure isn't about eliminating the Taliban.

Having 15 kids each so we have spares for the meat grinder.

killing a billion muslims is going to need a lot of manpower.

I dont recall Osama being found in Somalia. Nope, he was found in a fortified safe house, about ten yards away from Pak Military headquarters probably built with American tax dollars. If we had bombed Pakistan into dust, maybe the war on terror wouldve ended in 03 itself. We should never have dealt with the Pakistanis. And now this. Its almost too much to bear, seeing us trying to beg the enemy not to kill us. They’ll do it anyway.

In the long run this will go nowhere except down. Just like every one of the other “Mideast Peace Talks.” That’s all this is, talk. Expensive talk. In lives and money.

Leave TODAY.

Theyre not going to give up just because we did.

Leave? Allow Afghanistan to be run by the Taliban again? And then what? What when the next attack comes?

I think the only people left in the world who still fear the US Government are it’s own citizens.

It’s the damn Democrats who are always wailing about the “war on women”.

I shudder to think what the Taliban have in store for Afghan women and girls.

There’s your “war on women”, Democrats. It’s real, not your phony Sandra Fluke bloviating. Thank your precious Obama, it’s on his head, and yours.

Wait, where are we in Germany, Japan, South Korea, etc? In a country that once hated us and wanted to kill us, but now is a flourishing pro american economy?

Pakistan is 200 million people in an area bigger than Texas...

Why would I call you a surrender monkey - I agree completely. The New World Order clique has been thoroughly discredited.

Every nation on earth sets foreign policy based upon their own specific interests - except us.

Their military is concentrated in certain areas only. And given they milked us for ten long years while hiding Osama in their military academy, I think it shouldnt be too hard to figure out where to hit them. Dont even go in there. Just bomb their military and intelligence infrastructure to Kingdom come, and secure our borders. Oh wait, secure borders? Thats impossible isnt it? Viva la migra.
