Major, bigtime, important election and NOBODY'S talking about Afghanistan.

[elehhhhna]

WTF, America?

[Fumesucker]

1. The Democrats are for it and the Republicans aren't against it...

What is there to talk about? :shrug:

From the POV of the MSM there's no controversy so there's nothing to talk about.

[elehhhhna]

2. It's disgusting.

3. do you mean to say that....

do you mean to say that the candidates aren't talking about Afghanistan or that media isn't talking about Afghanistan?

4. President Petraeus prefers his military/corporate welfare gold mine be left alone thanks :=) nt

[de novo]

5. Or Pakistan.

With unemployment so high, candidates (and voters) have the luxury of ignoring all of our wars.

It truly is sickening.

6. War has become part of American scenery. Sadly.

Scary how easy that came about. There's a 'Yeah, yeah, but...' mentality that has seeped into American thinking that puts death and destruction on par with a landmark one passes everyday on their way to other things.

Some of us don't have the luxury of denial.

7. it's the economy . . . .
