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.

Which was the argument of many in Iraq as the other side predicted total loss, no solution, and said that we had already failed.

exactly what i was going to say....obama called for us to leave iraq in 07'....i recall some other dems supporting that as well....in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if evince made such a comment....

i find it intriguing how she is for continued military action there in part because of a nuclear pakistan....

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".

It's easy to understand Republican logic. Draw a circle on the ground. Now walk along that circle until you find the end.
 
I do not believe that the R party will ever be against the war in Afghanistan, they'll simply point out every perceived flaw in the implementation of the war in Afghanistan.

likely, but i think that some will be against it, mccain already is

still bagging on bho's handling of it is their best option...while 'supporting' the troops

i'm just curious, where did you read that McCain is against the Afghanistan war? Is there an article you can link to?

sorry no, i caught it on cnn

personally, i think we blew it by having too few troops and not enough advisers helping the farmers regain their usual crops

afghanistan used to export food!

the war lords depend on the opium trade and are being bought off to help maintain the peace

i think we need over 50,000 more troops ASAP...like take them from iraq and tell iraq to stick it, or get off the stick

i just tried to google mccain against war in Afghanistan and no article comes up stating that. If John McCain came out and said 'I am against the war in Afghanistan and I think we need to bring our troops home immediately' I think that would definitely make the headlines. I read where he thought we needed more troops but that hardly seems like being against the war to me.

since this was a few weeks ago, either i am wrong or he changed his position

maybe it was serious criticism of the war

my main thought is that the reps will do their best to snipe at bho's handling of the war both in iraq and afghanistan

Fair enough. Like I said you would think if McCain switched his position to being against the Afghanistan War there would be a record of it somewhere as it would be a pretty big deal if he did. Since citizen seems to agree with you maybe he can show something where McCain switched.
