your comment prove you don't know shi* about the region.

uuuhhhh, just the opposite fool, you can't kill hate...and the war on terror can never be won,(will be as unsuccessful as the war on drugs, and poppies are a major factor there right now...) only slightly contained, kill one terrorist, make 3 more...

add in dubyas ignorance for any other religion than christianity and you can see why we're in such a mess right now...

Tell Hitler that

Hopey Changey gets a D- or F grade from me as far as his Foreign Policy goes. If Victory is not the goal in Afghanistan than for God's sake bring our kids home right now. What are they risking their lives for over there? This President is clearly not committed to winning over there so it is time to bring our kids home. Hopey Changey's Foreign Policy has been convoluted & muddled at best so far.

In your own words; what does the USA military need to accomplish to declare victory? Model it like the victory in Iraq?

I feel for the men and women that have to serve under another Democrat President that hates our great military.Obama: Victory Not Goal in Afghanistan | Sweetness & Light

The goal in Afghanistan was to get Bin Laden. The greatest mass murderer in American history. Republicans gave him a seven year head start based on their policy of "FAIL".

All that time, they cut veterans benefits and sent them out to die with old and rusty equipment in Iraq. They let the wounded ones come back to moldy hostpitals.

Republicans have been like Midas, only everything they touch turns to sh*t.

You mean because Clinton gave Bush a document called, "Attack Imminent"? A document Rice said was "historical"? Come on now, Bush was busy, he was golfing.

The guys that bombed the WTC the FIRST time. Where are they now?

Home grown terrorist, right wing Timothy McVeigh, is DEAD. Not Bin Laden.

Fuck you and the bigot stick up your ass. If anyone hated our military it was georgie who sent them in harms way without a real cause or the equipment they needed than abandoned them for Iraq, you hippo crypt.

Define fucking victoryin Afghanistan.

If Al Quaeda are the problem, then we leave let them get comfortable and lazy and go bomb the shit out of them.

You don't fight a war on terror on a convetional battlefield-stupid.

Wrong again. Bin Laden was offered to US by the Taliban if we would agree to try him in a country outside the US.

They refused. Cheney and Little George wanted this war. How many of their friends have made millions off of it?

General Smedley Butler: War Is A Racket. 2 time MOH winner. Read it.

 

[Missourian]

I haven't read this entire thread, because this kind of stupidity gets my blood t' boiling.

Obama is an idiot.

Victory is just another word for win.

If the President of the United States says "We are not in Afghanistan to win" then isn't he saying defacto, we are there to lose. I suppose he could be saying we are there to tie.

It would be humorous if it wasn't so tragic.

In the posts I read, I kept seeing "Well, what is your strategy to victory."

That is not the question...the question is "What is the President's strategy if it's NOT victory."

try again. Bin laden supported the Taliban. why would they give up an important allie????

the Sudan offered up the terrorist and data on his network. The then-president and his advisors didn't respond. why was that??? Richard Clarke told Bubba not to accept. why ??? to much danger of an attack on the US duh !!!!

and why did Bubba fire a missle into afghan killing a camel ???? to dirvert our attention from the cigar caper.

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize

Really? Link please.

"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "

That's an easy one. Bin Laden was surrounded by children at the time. Imagine if Clinton ordered a strike and a dozen children were killed. Could you imagine the field day Republicans would have had waving photos of dead children and blaming it on Clinton?

You know Republicans are odious. Look at the terrible things they say now.

Right now there could be another Timothy McVeigh inspired by dirty Republicans and their treasonous rhetoric. The Republicans already hated Clinton so much, it's entirely possible that their rhetoric inspired Timothy McVeigh and they are trying to do it again.

McVeigh was a terrorist and was put down. The first bombers of the WTC are in Prison. Bin Laden is free and sending us home movies. Who did their job, in spite of Republicans fighting every step of the way? Bush or Clinton?

Wasn't it Republicans who said that terrorists need to set off a nuclear weapon here in the US so we can mobilize? Where they offering terrorists an invitation?

WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. Central Command, Army General David Petraeus, said on Wednesday that both he and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen had endorsed an assessment by the top commander in Afghanistan that says more troops would be needed.

"Obviously I endorsed, the chairman endorsed... Gen. (Stanley) McChrystal's assessment and description," Petraeus said at a counterinsurgency conference in Washington.

Five more kids slaughtered over there today. "Victory not the Goal in Afghanistan?" This President really is starting to p*ss me off. How can he demand that our kids risk their lives over there if Victory is not the goal? Pretty shameful and cowardly in my opinion. If Victory is not the goal in Afghanistan then just bring our kids home right now Mr. President!
