I've never understood the conservatives stance on Afghanistan.
They want to "win" so much but no one knows what that means. They want banners telling them they've "won". Bush did a helluva job finding bin Laden. |

If we can help the civilian population by bolstering their government and helping them to create a viable long-term infrastructure, that's a political win. I'll take the former if forced to choose.

That eliminates the funny people. Could you kinda narrow it down a bit more?

We spent tens of millions if not more and now the Taliban use the ditches for fighting. Maybe we should fill in those ditches with a fleet of Caterpillar bulldozers. Negative reinforcement just might do the trick this time. And as a bonus we could buy those bulldozers with stimulus money, create jobs, and boost the economy! Or we could just nuke the area and stop the poppy/marijuana production. |

If you announce it you risk having the Code Pink freaks disrupt events in Washington.

As a liberal, I'm up for the 40-60K troop increase if it's actually thought out and does something.

Killing the Al Qaeda chain of command down to the local quartermasters, and wiping out the general terrorist base (the Taliban in particular), even if it means taking the ground war into Pakistan, would constitute a military victory no matter who you are.anyone who thinks this is at all acheivable is living a pipe dream. we should just accept our loss and leave before US befalls the same fate as other empires who were mired in that region. |

Fuck your sovereignty, there are some people in your homeland who need killin, and your army just isn't getting it done. Unlike the British and the Soviets, we have no overwhelming need to stick around Afghanistan after we accomplish our immediate military goals. If we do decide to set up shop, we know how to do it right. Ask the Iraqi Kurds, who flourished until we decided to fuck things up on a grand scale. They're still the most prosperous group in Iraq, and the most able to recover after we leave (regional politics be damned). If the monetary cost of "nation building" gets too high for our domestic agenda to reconcile, we can always run a more cost-effective surveillance/reactive force program in order to prevent terrorist groups from gaining and maintaining a foothold, but we have to get rid of the fuckers first. |
