| #11 Bertie, the mission changed during the Bush administration and was a huge mistake on our part. There is no way we are going to build a nation in this crap-hole. |

| #7 To quote Jules Crittenden: "Obama admin to GIs, Afghans: Just hang in a little longer, die more, while we figure out whether itÂ’s worth it or not. ItÂ’s Kerrythink in action, as Obama, in extended dither, tries to engineer a mistake some poor bastard can be the last man to die for." |

| #2 The average Mohammed is going to back the side he thinks will win. When our words and actions project a lack of will or confidence, he is going to believe our enemy will win, so he will support our enemy. It's a vicious cycle - and a self-fulfilling prophecy. |
