And that if we let the damned Islamo-fascists have the territory back, they will once again set up training camps, places to organize, plan train, collect money and material, take in trainees from the world over.......and then you'll sooner or later have a IED on Yonge Street......who will you blame then?
Oh....silly question.....:roll:
First off - this is a bunch of garbage. Afganistan never attacked us - and even offered to get Osama FOR the US - but they wanted to go and in get him. Also, every terror attack from 9/11 to the London bombing were done by "homegrown" terrorists - not from Afganistan.
Secondly - unless we are willing to fight this war in order to win it, then we should get out. There is only one way to win a war - kill everyone. How did we win WW2? We fire bombed Germany and nuked Japan until they knew that we would kill every last German and Japanese solider, civilian, man, woman and child. Only then did they surrender. (BTW - this was the last war that the West won. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan - we have pulled our punches in all of these wars, and have lost or are losing every single one)
I am not saying we should do this - I am saying that we need to choose to either win and end this war, or get out. All we are doing now is wasting time, money and lives.
Personally, I say get out.
PS - I agree this mess falls on Chrieten's lap. Luckily Harpo wasn't in, cause we'd be in Iraq too.
