Afghanistan

-Ten years and 27 days ago today, terriorist wrought a terriable surprise attack on the USA, using our own commerical aircraft as a weapons of mass distruction. A few short weeks later, a united America invaded a nation that harbored these terriorist, as promised. Those who were not killed, fled to safety and into "our ally" Pakistan.
-Afghanistan had witnessed wars, what seems to be forever. The most recent were with the British, later the Russians. Both nations gave up after a shorter stay. Neither one made a serious attempt to train/support the Afghan military, government civilian population and school system. Our nation, this president(pp) is almost with certainity after the US agreed commitment, fold up tent and return to the US and enter the unemployment lines. That's why pp must be defeated in 2012.
-What have we gained...but lost of blood and treasure. Will the world be safer? Hell no. As General McArther said in the Phillippines during WWII, "I/we shall return", and he did, so also will the US and if there is a NATO maybe, but must start from scratch again. Why not commit to stay for longer term and budget for it. If we pull out 2014 who will fill the void? Two guesses: Iran and Pakistan with nuclear weapons and delivery systems.
