We need to get out of Afghanistan too. We went in to get Bin Laden, he's dead. No point in staying, the natives will wait us out and kill our troops in the meantime.
You are like a Fox News analyst, having just looked up the topic yesterday to try to explain the complexity of the situation, failing miserably in the process. Keep thinking that you actually know anything about anything.Cluck U wrote:Seahawks08 wrote:

Cluck not knowing what he's talking about par for the course.
If our Indians decided to take back their own homeland (their traditional homeland, not just the small reservations we "granted" them), and took up arms for it (as the Kurds have done repeatedly for DECADES), we'd call them terrorists and squash them. And, of course, they'd be trying to destabilize the United States. Ditto the Kurds. Ditto the IRA. Ditto the Muslins who want ALL previously Muslin territory returned to their control (what a concept).
No getting around this one...the Kurds have not been peaceful, silent partners just willing to live in the territories granted them. They want their land back...and the US has been providing a TON of support, specifically to slap the Iraqis in their collective faces and to keep another attack dog (and thorn in the bad guy's side), like Israel, on our leash.
Sorry CID...your bias is clearly showing. Unless you propose to free all people and return their native lands, while ignoring the current world order, then you are failing badly on this one.
And Seahawks08 is what he is...an idiot of epic proportions.
