Bob Herbert: The Courage to Leave Afganistan; NY Times, 6/13 -

He’s not “ours” to take down.

On the other hand, that sounds like an invitation to leave.

We can’t leave Afghanistan yet – we have to wait for a few thousand more Americans to die or be maimed first, and for the US to run out of money and credit entirely. Then we can leave.

Cynical. Tsk.

He may not be “ours” to take down, but was Bush/Cheney’s to put in power.

The reason we have not left Afgahanistan is that the Far Right and Conservaties would turn it into a FIRE STORM of hate and fury.

As with Iraq many, many of our men and women have died and will die for Bush’s sins.

because there are Rules of War…

This game has rules?

Why did we push him up? Oh, right, UNOCAL and that mysterious pipeline.

Just another day at the zoo. He sits and pets his favorite bear Talibani, while the US couple help their cub to his pen to take a nap. He is disappointed about what, the bears taking care of their own; he needs to reassess the situation.

we like his sartorial style too much.

Well, the news today is Afghanistan has huge mineral riches, like lithium, to be mined!! Surprise! Our military finally found this stuff! After all this war they’re finally finding a reason! (Well, we’ve known most of those minerals were there for a while, like since WW II.)

As to the blame thing- When a drunk drives his car into a tree- the cops don’t blame the tree. But Republicans have witnessed the tree jump right out in front of “W”!!

Just for thought…………

SHORT - Maybe the reason we have keep repeating the truth is because you keep denying the truth.

You can live in your world, but the rest of us have to live the world that Bush left us.

Short; Bush started the bleeep war! Are you going to say Bush was not in office in october of 2001?
