Comments on: Frist Surrenders To The Taliban http://www.oliverwillis.com/2006/10/02/frist-surrenders-to-the-taliban/ Like Kryptonite To Stupid Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:30:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Adam Herman http://www.oliverwillis.com/2006/10/02/frist-surrenders-to-the-taliban/#comment-45532 Adam Herman Wed, 04 Oct 2006 13:45:00 +0000 http://improveman.com/ow2008/?p=2802#comment-45532 There's someone who has proven once again that he's not fit to be President. Iraq was an elective war. Afghanistan is not. We can't leave Afghanistan until we've either won or been defeated. And not defeated in the Vietnam sense(where we got sick of it and left), but defeated in the War of 1812 sense, with the Taliban burning down the White House. Not that we were defeated there, but you get the idea. There’s someone who has proven once again that he’s not fit to be President.

What this really means is that our installed government in Afghanistan has failed and is about to go right back into the same hands as it was in 2001. Since a whole lot of American soldiers and Afghani civilians lost their lives, the government dumped several billion dollars into Afghanistan and bin Laden is still at large, this means that we now have the same results we would have had if we had stayed at home and watched Jerry Springer. Even the one accomplishment of mission, the only one (aside from getting bin Laden) that I supported, taking out most of al-Qaeda's operation, has been negated by new terrorists pissed off over the Iraq war. I suppose we should give Frist credit for admitting our failure, in a way.

As I figured, Republicans just don't care about winning the war on terrorism.

And with all that "fighting Them in Iraq so that we don't have to fight Them in America" bulljive, I still wonder why no one asked aloud, "OK, but why not, instead, fight Them in Afghanistan so that we don't have also fight Them in Iraq?" Yeah.
