Let me inform you of something twinkletoes, blame BUSH SR for Afghanistan. The country actually was headed towards democracy WITHOUT our help, including womens rights and moving more Western in idiologies. When the Soviets tried to muscle in, well we supported...

Osama...

Thats right, we gave millions and arms to Osama as a "freedom fighter". Millions of Afghan citizens died and we can't fathom that. We can't fathom Mexico fighting Canada and millions of Americans dying.

OUr great govt backdoored their way to fight war in Afghanastan. If you don't want to read, at least watch "Charlie Wilson's War" on T.V.

Well after "we" beat the Soviets we claimed "victory" packed out shit and left.

We did not help establish ANYTHING. We stopped giving a fuck b/c we beat the USSR, you know that evil country. That country that no longer exists....

So it was RIPE for someone to come in and develop and take control and the TALIBAN did. They only RECENTLY gained power. They hate us b/c we turned our backs when it was time to rebuild then we started calling them terrorists.

Afghanistan IS the problem it NEVER was Iraq. There was NO TALIBAN STRONGHOLD IN IRAQ.

Obama is going after the REAL PROBLEM, not fooling Americans into going into Iraq so that SOB could get re-elected. Every intel has now said Iraq had no WMD, it should not have been done and even Bush apologized.

Facts> your biased opinion
But we should have left Iraq years ago after Saddam was gone right? Maybe if people didnt have their head so far up their ass they would see that Bush's policies actually worked.

FACT: 1/3 of all deaths in Iraq were NOT combat deaths like CNN would like you to believe. These were people that killed themselves being stupid, or were killed as a result of accidents.

FACT: no attacks on US possessions for almost 8 years. This is more than doubling the longest span since Carter took office.
