Kill everyone who wants us to leave and then maybe, just maybe, we can go.

1. damn - I sure hope they don't target Bin Laden

:sarcasm:

10. Bin Laden is already dead. n/t

[lefthandedlefty]

12. I sometime wonder if he ever existed

He might be like a kids imaginary friend,you know if the kid does something wrong or wants to get away with something they just blame their imaginary friend.Really seems like to me if he is real and they really wanted to get him why couldn`t someone in the C.I.A take him out.

2. This smacks of total desperation

I've always thought that we can tell which efforts, whether they're religious, social, political, or military*, can be described as futile by the degree to which they rely on killing other people to succeed.

This program will ensure that the next generation of terrorists will be armed and ready and that our children and grandchildren will have to face them.

*Limited to occupation, of course. The purpose of warfare is slaughter.

3. Sounds like we are fighting a war or something. nt

[Oregone]

4. Sounds like we are losing a war

7. Define "winning". Define "losing".

How can we lose or win, if we have no real goal for being there?

[Oregone]

8. Thats called losing

If you cannot demonstrate you are accomplishing a constructive goal, there you go.

9. I suppose you're correct, Oregone. (nt)

11. Except we are not. We are killing an indigenous population whose nation we invaded.

5. The search for the Light at the End of the Tunnel goes on...fruitlessly.
