I saw a blurb on CNN about this that Democrats now 4 to 1 are against the War in Afghanistan.

1. That's a tie. What caused this massive swing?

This is not Iraq, so what caused this?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

2. I'm going to guess...

the recent upswing in violence due to more Bush failures.

[Jacobin]

5. The recognition that we are losing

Murkins conflate news and foreign policy with sports. If we're winning, regardless of whether it was legal, or lawful, or appropriate, its 'good'.

If we are losing, regardless of whether its important or right, its 'bad'

6. The Emperor's Clothes

He's bare nekkid with no where to hide.

[BootinUp]

3. Bush has made one hell of a mess. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Mission Accomplished!

[CJCRANE]

4. What's the point

of the war in Afghanistan?

Osama's skipped over the border into Pakistan.

And now there's Taliban PLUS (fundamentalists bankrolled by opium).

[Disturbed]

8. Can $Billions being spent there be put to better use?

Instead of spending $Billions on killing the Afghan people couldn't the money be spent on improving people's lives? Wouldn't that bring more approval from the Afghan people of the US and the Western powers?
