This is a stupid way to waste our grand kid's money at a time when the
country is in so much fiscal trouble.

what would be more stupid is to allow another 9/11

Al queda has moved out. we have even less chance of securing the borders
there than we do here.


which is OK. we win the war if we prevent the taliban from taking
power.

If we'd have said "Hey Mr. Taliban, if you hear some loud noises around
Tora
Bora, don't worry about it, just us coming in to "get some" for 9/11.
Just
letting you know so that you stay out of the line of fire."


on 9/11 there was no functional difference between AQ and the taliban.
now there is. i have no objections at all to negotiating with
elements of the taliban...as long as they keep their noses clean



The Taliban is not al queda. They just share a common enemy, US
invaders. We empowered the Taliban. There is little chance we will
ever stop them as long as we keep killing innocent civilians


Yep, we're doing the recruiting for them.
