Let's hope Obama doesn't break that record but the worst days of the

I don't have a good feeling about increasing troop strength at this point.
As Obama said (paraphrasing), the generals are thinking about the war, the
president needs to think about the world.

The interesting thing to me was said on Anderson Cooper the other
night from Afghanistan. It turns out we don't even think Bin Laden is
there anymore and that the Taliban has absolutely no global
aspirations. Their connection to Al Queda is tenuous at best.-

today that's true. wasn't true on 9/11.

If you believe that you are saying GWB was right and BHO is wrong. Are
you sure you don't want to reconsider?
Personally I don't believe the Taliban has ever had any grudge with
the US beyond our invading their country and if we leave they won't
care about us at all. They tolerated al queda but, I doubt they had
anything to do with 9-11

Somebody has to get by this whole thing that "we are there because of
9/11". We are there to stop radical Islam from forcing Islamic rule,
Taliban style on a huge chunk of real estate and possibly hundreds of
millions of unwilling residents of those areas.
