		<description>It seems there is no progress.  The only progress here is our men and women being killed.  These people have fought for hundreds of years and will continue to do so.  Pull the troops out and let the Afghans have at each other.  Protect our own borders.  Get some SENSE!!!! </description>

		<description>We can not win in Afghanistan long term with out winning in Pakistan. To really win long term in both is probably not going to happen. </description>

		<description>It took ten years to build the N.Y.City World Trade Centers.  
 
It took 10 seconds for the world to watch them implode. 
The after shock was felt as far away as Maine.  
 
Last month another Al-Queada CELL WAS BROKEN UP IN the State of Co, with other cells linked to N.Y and N.J. 
 
Very little information regarding this major news story was reported by our convoluted main stream press.  
 
The reality is; 
This is a highly financed, highly trained, highly organized enemy in our oun back yard, an in the world.   
 
Few Americans fail to understand this unless they have a military background or they just don&#039;t want to think about it.  
 
To date, it has been reported that 28 countries have been attacked by terrorism.  
 
We, with England, an a few U N troops are the only major powers that have put &quot;boots on the ground&quot; to thwart this very real treat .  
 
We MUST in-list other countries toward this combined effort.  
 
The Sec. of State has been doing this recently. However I&#039;m not certain what the out-come has been from other countries. 
 Maybe someone else out there is more informed regarding this out-come.   
 
We must insist that other countries get involved sending their troops; Special OP&#039;s units, in a unified force.   
 
Will our involvement in AF. bring Democracy to this region as some Americans believe. 
  
Certainly not.  
 
It is a system of GOV&#039;T based on tribual laws, kick-backs, bribes with corrupt leadership on all levels. 
  
What it will do, is stablize an area of the world that is a tinder box and breeding ground for one of the biggest treats in our world today on all levels.  
 
I do support the decison to send additional trooops to AF. 
 
But as stated, we must insist that 28 other countries stand  with us. </description>

		<description>I posted this today on my facebook... 
In my humble opinion this war is misunderstood by many. It is about Afghanistan and the Taliban but that is not the whole story. A few months ago a Pakistan military facility was infiltrated by militants and this is not the first time.  Pakistan is a nuclear country with nuclear weapons sitting next to Afghanistan and Iran.. It doesn&#039;t take a lot of thought  to see the problem. The many that want our troops out must look at the problem, let&#039;s say our troops pull out today and Pakistan sits there all alone, how long would it take before the enemy entered Pakistan? Remember Pakistan has nuclear weapons. 
What scenario can you see? </description>

		<description>The public school system has failed JP Mcfadden. Answer to your question is we must win this war because next door is Pakistan whom have nuclear weapons. We can not allow the Taliban or Al-Qeada to take control of Pakistan and their nuclear weapons. Pretending these terrorists only know how to use box cutters is intelectually lazy and a dangerous thought pattern that would allow for the possibility that megadeaths could be carried out buy your box cutter freinds in America and the rest of the world. Then again maybe you like the smell of carrion in the morning. </description>

		<description>So the President says he is going to somewhat listen to his generals and send 30,000 more troops. But in the same breath he says we are going to get out of there in 2011 no matter what happens. It is going to take until summer of 2009 to get the build-up in there. He never really talked about winning. This is certainly not the kind of speech that makes the troops say: &quot;My leader has spoken. He is right. I will follow him anywhere.&quot;  This was not inspirational. Where is the Obama the Orator that the media keeps talking about. It makes me believe that his heart is not in this fight, but politically he feels he needs to do it. The President needs to either be whole-heartedly go for it or get out. Instead he is playing with lives of the troops, and the reputation of the USA. What a guy! </description>

		<description>There will be &quot;Wars and rumors of war&quot; in this part of the world, until God is ready to return and take care of this total mess the world has been creating since the Garden of Eden.  I believe VERY much in HIS word as found in the Bible.  I for one am ready anytime God is ready,,,,of course we will not know the time which is also in the Bible. </description>

		<description>Everytime I read or hear someone talk like JP my blood boils.  Most people who talk like this usually have never left America.  It is bad enough they don&#039;t understand how special their country and it&#039;s people are, but they seem to think that because someone lives in a cave their stupid.  If he had talked to any soldier who was been in Afganistan he would know that some of these ignorant nomads had electricity in their caves! 
  As to the neocon comment.  Thank God for men and women who are willing to protect this country. When you visit other countries, it doesn&#039;t take long to see that people can be very self centered and uninterested in the well being of even there own countrymen.  Some countries believe life has no value at all.  We tend to fight not only for the well being of ourselves but for our neighbors as well.  In a world where neighborhoods are being attacked by gangs and drug crazies, you would have to have your head buried in the sand not to think you weren&#039;t going to have to fight for what is yours. </description>

		<description>Obama is making the only decision any rational President can make in this situation.  Hopefully, he will be steadfast, because the liberal attacks will begin immmediately.   &lt;a href=&quot;http://neoavatara.com/blog/?p=8983&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://neoavatara.com/blog/?p=8983&lt;/a&gt; </description>
