  • Man, I'd hate to be in their boots, surrounded by hillsides. Props to them for sticking through it and showing professionalism.

  • With the DEFEAT of Muslim Terrorists and Islamic Terror in Iraq, US Forces can now concentrate the firepower and manpower on killing the rest of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

    It is only a matter of time before the Muslims in Afghanistan join their brothers in Iraq in Death, Defeat, and Humiliation under America's boots.

    Remember Fallujah 2004?

    There is a KFC in Fallujah now...LOL!

    For sofisticated people, KFC is just bad taste and i'm not suprised to see you mentioning your food-provider.

    Besides the fact that you are ignorant about the reasons of the Bush clan to go Iraq with this so called 'War On Terror' (the US unleashed these powers and therefore are responsible for the atrocities done), American boots have been for many years in Afghanistan and they beasically achieved shit: are you open to fact?

    We're losing that war.

    Remember when Iraq was going bad and all the Muslims and looneys in the wolrd were like " Iraq = Vietnam for the American" and "America is losing in Iraq" ? ? ?

    The same is happening in Afghanistan now.

    America was so trained on crushing the Muslim terrorists in Iraq so much that all the resources and manpower focused there. Now that Iraq is another check mark on America's Victory Board, manpower and firepower can be diverted to fighting and killing the Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan.

    Do you really think that a bunch of 1400th century Muslim babooms in Ak-47 can defeat a country that sacrificed 1 million men to defeat Germany and Japan in WW II???

  • We're in Afghanistan for the drug money, it's that ******* simple. They produce 90% of the world's opium supply for legal and illegal consumption -- who gets all that drug money -- who owns the crops that earn all those billions of dollars?
    That's why we're there.
    Is it worth it is the real question.
    I don't know the answer to that one.

    i don't fully understand the reasons we are in Afghanistan...but I think it's interesting that Jane's Defense Weekly reported that the US was prepared to take military action in Afghanistan shortly before the 9/11 attacks....

    i mean, it's not exactly a bombshell - it was a plan to attack Al Qeada...I just dont know what to make of it, exactly...."U.S. sought attack on al-Qaida
    (White House given plan days before Sept. 11)" http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4587368/ -I think it is considered a valuable region because of petroleum routes- as well as narcotics...plus there's the 'war on terror'...i just don't know...
