Because Obama said we won't be out until 2014 and he's the boss.

The problem is we'll be going home with our tails between our legs (just like the Russians and anybody else that's been there), defeated by people with 6th century beliefs armed with 20th century weapons. They'll turn that country back to the sh!thole it was before we got there.

I think Hank is pretty close to right . Bush screwed up by invading the country instead of just bombing the [Bleeeeep!] out of it. Then he didn't wanna admit defeat so he wouldn't leave. Then obama ignored history and thought he could win an unwinnable war and is too damn stubborn to admit defeat and leave.

My comment was tic. IMO, there is no way for us to leave without just doing it. Nothing to gain.....for anyone.

In the 80's, one of the Soviet commanders was quoted as saying "Afghanistan is easy to get in to. It's really hard to get out of."
We probably should have listened.

Dan,
I don't doubt he said that, or something like that, but it probably sounded like this kkkzzklzklВы неkzzk моkzkzгли бы говорить помедленнее. I have been to Russia and have heard them talk and tried to read their signs. Its a damn tough language to even get a hint of what they mean. Can you blame Bush for not understanding that? He probably thought he said something altogether different. I wonder what he thought they were saying? I wonder what Cheany told him they said?

Then obama ignored history and thought he could win an unwinnable war and is too damn stubborn to admit defeat and leave. I think most Americans wanted to kick some Al Qaeda azz after they hit the Trade Center. Then there was Tora Bora and Anaconda and Iraq and then the Taliban and then nation building. WTF. I just read a partial account of the Anaconda battle..... not much to say after reading about what our people have to do.
