    Ahhhhhhh, Afghanistan the real war on terror.

    Now, if we had say a lot of troops not trapped in the Iraq quagmire and stopped Osama bin Forgotten when he was in Tora Bora, we would be in a totally different place right now. Too bad republican trolls are too dumb to figure it out.

    Good news, when I got together with all of my republican Lake Forest neighbors on memorial day, they all agreed that Iraq was a bad idea and a lot of them agreed with impeaching Bush.

    The only retards that don’t get it are posting right here on this blog.

    Stupid trolls.

    It’s too hard to spell. Eye-rack is easier.

    another?… didn’t this happen yesterday also…
    ugh…


  5. katy says:

    i may be confusing an accident in iraq…
    a crash and an ambush of the rescue team…

    re # 4

    yes, it did. and it will happen again tomorrow or the next day for the foreseeable future. Bush doesn’t care about anything but not having to admit he was wrong and the Dems don’t care about anything other than what is politically expedient. we’re screwed.

    we’re screwed.

  9. Lee says:

    Oh yeah, that insurgency is definitely in its last throes, right Dick?

    My condolences to those brave souls dying in the name of a lie.

  14. tarazan says:

    We have two un-finished wars for over 5 years,and the Neocons calling for another war with Iran which is stronger,more populated and larger country in area.

    This Congress waived conditions from spending bill to force Bush to come to Congress for approval before starting another war with Iran.
    The same Congress that has been telling us that they are trying to end this war in Iraq.

    So far,other than non-binding and toothless resolutions were passed vs. the promises were given by Democrats to the voters to end this war before last year’s November elections.
    While we heard Democrats in the Congress,and the Speaker in particular saying that ‘No more blank checks’, the checks they signed were
    on the way to spend on this war with no conditions.


  15. Ben Dover says:

    Thankfully there is no insurgency in Afghanistan for Deadeye Dick to declare it being in its last throes also. Otherwise we’d be in an even bigger hurt. The Bush cabal makes me so incredibly ill.


  16. Fan_of_Man says:

    oh well, shouldnt have been there in the first place.

    right bush?


  17. Spudge_Boy says:

    Ben Dover,

    The reason that the war in Afghanistan is never mentioned is that the neocons little catch phrases and names won’t work. There isn’t an insurgency in Afghanistan, because there is a real enemy. The Taliban is a real live enemy that did and still does support terrorism.

    Saddam on the other hand hated terrorists.


  18. Badger says:

    I thought a Majority of the Afghan elected officials voted to ask us to leave, and to Reconcile things with the Taliban. Whatever happened with that???

    Bush is still in charge.


  20. Dave says:

    The worse thing is that the rescue team got ambushed. As stated above my condolences to those brave souls who died.
