Think you might be right on that but all I hear are the crickets chirping. |

The "Obama mission and exit strategy"? He's pretty much continued the Bush policy on Afghanistan, with slightly more strategic focus than Iraq.
Strategy seems to have been flawed from the start, but people want to jump on Obama now that he's in charge. Too bad none of those neocons bothered to pick up a history book.
My opinion is that we should leave and park an aircraft carrier offshore who's responsibility is to punish anyone who gets out of line.

oh yeah
they have caves and tunnels that UAV's cannot even touch
so until those are discovered it's a continuing shell game
hiding in civilian homes pretending to be non taliban.
what pissed me off was hearing about them cutting off the fingers of those they caught voting.... 
how's that for democracy? |

That unfortunately is the way the non-democratic world works, you vote we do bad things to you. Never going to stop that everywhere. |

Why on earth is Obama following the flawed Bush plan? Surely, Obama has read a history book? |

Not always easy to undo what's been done.

But Obama made it all sound so easy when he was campaigning.  Are you telling me he can't deliver on everything he promised?
Oh, and Spence, could you throw "neocon" into any more of your responses? Let me guess. It was the word of the day on your Doublespeak calendar last week and you're trying to use it as much as possible. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
