'But can we ignore Afghanistan?'

What? Who the hell's 'ignoring' Afghanistan? Was Laura Bush not recently visiting them? Did she not promise 'We will not forget you Afghanistan.'????? Why is my husband about to begin training for deployment to Afghanistan? So exactly WHO's forgotten? Because it sure as hell hasn't been any of us that give a [...].

I'm about to say something really mean Demoboy, but I feel the need to say it. Maybe its tough love.
I like you, I really do, and I know you don't need anyone's advise, but, maybe you should enlist and actually serve your country before typing nonsense and BS like a.....oh never mind, I can't do it. But seriously Demoboy, you really need to stop and think about this.

In the April 2008 report given at the Bucharest Summit, by NATO the Assistant Secretary General fro Public Diplomacy Jean-Francois Bureau summarized "this broad International effort to help Afghanistan build a more stable and secure future is achievable, and it is being achieved. Of course, real challenges remain, and this will be a long-term effort; but the information contained in this report gives reason for optimism".
As far as the opium problem... this same report says, "Although the overall picture remains of real concern, there are some signs of progress. In the North, the number of opium-free provinces has doubled, from six in 2006 to 13 in 2007. Opium poppy cultivation there has decreased by 72% last year and eradication totalled 2,871 ha. In the West, cultivation in Ghowr province recorded the biggest decrease (68%) in Afghanistan in 2007. The Afghan Government's Good Performers' Initiative, which is in its first year, and the Counter-narcotics Trust Fund already prove to be effective incentives". It also said "This shows that counter-narcotics efforts can succeed".
In other words, your trying to distort the real progress being done in Afghanistan with inaccurate information considering that the information I posted is from a 2 month old NATO report on progress in Afghanistan.

We need more troops? Well then why aren't you in boot camp? Even Prince William and Henry aren't too delicate or prissy to fight for their country, for what's right. I don't believe ANY man to be a REAL man, unless he's served his country. I have three boys, and I hope all three have the valor to do what's right.

Our War on Terror IS A JUST WAR. A NECESSARY WAR. A war we WILL WIN. God help us all if we don't.

We fought the Second World War on extended frontlines in the Pacific, Europe, and Africa simultaneously. We have the ability to fight the War on Terror in many different lands, if the leftwingnuts would not continually tie our hands. I agree with Dasvics. Demboy, it's time to do your part and go see your local Marine Corps Recruiter, rather than whining and complaining. Do something useful, for a change.

I figured you would post something idiotic like that. Forget that the 2 month old report is based on information gathered over an entire year, right! Lets instead take your expert word based on some recent events that have transpired over say a two 2-3 week period and say that it is the model for the next decade.
You will learn soon enough from your philosophy professor that what you just did is make a non-valid point into a slippery slope. You can't come to the conclusion that the progress has done an about face because there was a prison break in Afghanistan, And please don't say but what about the opium business? A 72% and 68% decrease in the nations provinces refutes your claim to that. There is no way for you to validate your assumption with the limited amount of data you talk about but don't cite, compared to the researched and confirmed data in the NATO report. You might as well say that based on the spike of the temperature outside today our world is going to burn up soon unless it cools down tomorrow. Quit trying to sound intelligent and just be the 18 year old kid that you are.

Well if they are from Fox, they sure are fooling me, they write with no intelligence! However... they sure are to the left in their posts.

I am actually going by the WEEK OLD Time article about Afghanistan. Did you read it? According to it every single U.S. ground commander says they don't have enough troops to finish the job. So id did some more research into the current state of Afghanistan. That is why I wrote this blog. The prison break is merely one example of a problematic situation. I am not complaining merely calling attention to a problem we seem to be having. As Americans we should all be worried about our soldiers not having the resources to accomplish their mission.
DF Saying that we are on the fringe doesn't really mean anything. I could say your a wacko but I don't because it is pointless.

dasvics, who are you really ? Anyone idiotic enough to enlist during republiTARDED dubbya donkey pencil worm term deserves to die. And for what dasvics ? I suppose that the poor blacks that those lying white recruiters send to those early graves really makes a patriot ? Your advice to demboy is lousy and pathetic. Why don't you enlist. Don't ask me, because I think enlisting is equal to murder and suicide !

craft guy a true coward. Maybe some day you will win your dream-date with bull o'wrongly or lush limp pencil or ann c$%ter. You are the coward afraid of liberal thought. You are as pathetic as dubbya, too much a puhssy, and not bright enough to know the truth from bull !

'As Americans we should all be worried about our soldiers not having the resources to accomplish their mission.'

You're right Demoboy, I agree!
So lets make sure that our troops have everything they need. What do you say?




bushisaliar, I think Springer's on.
