Oh really! So a "win" in Afghanistan. wins the war on terror? Just how do you propose to "win" there? Remember the Soviets? Remember Veit Nam?

Afghanistan is the job that Bush never finished because he went into Iraq, and which allowed Afghanistan to re-flame and al Qaeda to rebuild.

Bin Laden is in Pakistan, not Afghanistan, is he not? How did al Qaeda rebuild in Afghanistan when they are in Pakistan?

Afghanistan is in a civil war, always has been, always will be. Just how do the Democrats propose to change that?

BTW, I doubt McCain and Bush think it is good news. Watch for all kinds of reasons from them why they think it is not, in fact.

I don't care if they think it is good or not, kool aid boy. FACT is, Obama has nothing to do with the succes that is occuring in Iraq, isn't that right?

Thomas, that civil war will finish itself out after we are gone. Hint: The Shiites will win.

Healing sectarian rifts
Earlier, Iraq's largest Sunni Arab political bloc ended a nearly yearlong boycott of the Shiite-led government in another step toward healing the sectarian rifts that once brought almost daily bloodshed.

The National Accordance Front agreed to return after parliament approved six Sunni officials to fill vacant seats in the Cabinet.

But the gesture had wider implications — it was seen as a significant step toward political reconciliation and efforts to cement security cooperation between Shiite-led forces and armed Sunni groups that rose up against al-Qaida in Iraq.

Come again?

I realize you can't insult the intelligence of the neo-cons, Thomas. Have some regard for the rest of us.

What ever eric. Afghanistan never attacked us either. Why do you want to send more troops there? How will that win the "war on terror"?

I never said it would win the "war on terror," did I?

I do feel wiping out the Taliban would be more worthwhile than taking out Sadam Hussein. Do you know anything about the Taliban, Thomas?

We do need to be out of Iraq. We should never have been there in the first place.

The Iraq war falls in the "stupid war" category.

Both are stupid. And it's really stupid to think that sending more and more troops to Afghanistan will "win the war on terror".
