i think that the reps will come out against the afghan war

they are already calling it bho's war...
 
Of course they will. We do not have a Republican president now.
But they were for it before they were against it.

but only dems are flip floppers?

I have a bit of difficulty grasping "Republican logic".

opportunistic politician logic
 
?

where do you get this from? so what you're saying is....obama's command of the war in afghanistan and his change in strategy from bush doesn't make it his?

lol... wait, you guys are calling Republicans flip-floppers and citizen is projecting all over the place because DQ thinks the Republicans might turn against it? And particular reason you think they might turn against it DQ? Any evidence to back up what you believe?

Barack Obama sure as hell didn't start the war in Afghanistan and I don't think he was even in Congress at the time it started. But as CIC what we do going forward is his call. So yeah as CIC you stand to be the one congratulated or criticized based on your decisions. It's as if the mere thought that something might occur where Obama might get critized turns you and citizen into little whiny teenagers (no offense DQ).
 
both cawacko and i have asked where you guys get this from? and this is your answer....

F

LMAO!!! That was his response? So DQ says 'I think the Republicans are going to turn against Afghanistan'. (I apologize Yurt for not including you here if you said the same thing) So I ask DQ why he believes that or if he has any evidence and that is deflecting?

Based on what DQ says citizen then starts talking about Republicans flip-flopping and were for it before they were against it and how he can't understand them all based upon DQ saying he thinks the Republicans won't support the war in Afghanistan. That is classic projection right there. And that is exactly what I responded to. Where is there any deflection in that? There isn't. You just got called out citizen and don't like it so you throw out a baseless accusation. Step up your game sir.

bush started the war with regard to his declaration of war on terrorism

bho has found it necessary to continue the war and give it the priority that it deserved

perhaps it would be best to say that it is both of their war

i saw a rep us senator on cnn saying that he would not support putting more troops into afganistan...other than mccain

i think that the reps will use the afghan war against bho even if bushco started it

yes, i agree with that....i haven't heard anyone say it isn't bush's war to begin with....
 
Pakistan has nukes folks.

There is a reason we need to help defeat the Taliban's ambition in the area.

sadly, i agree

seems strange what with the war on drugs and all that we have to support a nation that is the main producer of heroin/opium
 
We cant just walk out of the area and leave because of the mess the area is in.

I wish we could leave but Bush screwed it up but good by ignoring the true threat in the area to go after the money maker for him and his cronies.

You can make legitimate arguments about how many troops in Afghanistan are optimal. Now if a guy is just saying it to be a hack that's one thing. You think Republicans are just going to say we should pull out of Afghanistan? Hell, not that this board is a scientific sample or anything but I haven't seen one person on the right state we should leave Afghanistan while there have been several on the left that believe we should leave now.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion I just think it happens to be way off.

if bush had kept his promise to subsidize agriculture, there would not be so many poppy fields

:clink:
 
If we had beaten down the Taliban and then created schools , dug wells, taught them the best crops and farming technics for their area they would love us and NOT fear the Taliban.

i do not put anything past the reps at this point, but as you say it is my thought on the subject, time will tell

ps the general in charge is thought to be going to ask for 25,000 more troops...or more and the europeans have only promised their troops until after the current election:eek:
