Don't worry about that...you're not going anywhere for a long time.

The REASON we were there was to get ObL. We did. Now we're not taking anybody out. How fucking utterly predictable.

Yes, it's time we start fighting tourism at home.

You are nuclear weapons-grade stupid.

Why would he want to fuck up his good unemployment numbers? oh wait....

I don't think they have much oil so I guess that leaves opium.

yeah, I read all that last year.

Even if true, it's buried so deep it'd take years and a huge investment in mining infrastructure to even begin to dig it out, not really a viable venture when there are no roads or seaports and when people are shooting at you all the time.

We're not there for their natural resources and just need to vacate that shit hole. Let the Taliban and Al-queda fuck goats like Mace on a sheepbender, just protect our borders.

I thought we were fighting them there so they didn't get us here?

Now that the economy isn't so wonderful, we worried about the cost?

Cost of freedom, man? Our freedom is at stake here. The people of Afghanistan could take our freedom if we don't kill them. Freedom is in jeopardy. Is there a cost too great that we allow our freedoms to be suppressed?

Yes. If you will recall, they did in fact hit us here. Hopefully we've killed enough of them to make the point that hosting people who fuck with us is a bad idea. Otherwise, we might have to come back and 'liberate the fuck out of them.'

Why even justify your position?
Just say "We'll go anywhere we want and kill anyone we want for any reason we want...and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it".

Why dress it up in formality?

you mean the people who lovingly accept death and the 70+ virgins they get in the afterlife should be afraid we will kill them?


so the people who live in shitholes and fuck sheep and wear 78 layers of clothing in 100 degree temps should be worried we will make their lives uncomfortable?

nukes are more cost æffective than bullets-imo. we should go that route, btw

...not to mention losing their cushy jobs and luxuriant, liberal lifestyles.
Plus, they'll miss Parks And Recreation...unless they TIVO, of course.

Yes, that's the rationale that's been tiresomely used but only a dumbfuck would believe that's why we're still there. I know you don't believe that.

There is no rational, logical explanation, though I suspect that keeping the military/industrial complex well greased is reason enough for David Petraeus and Leon Panneta. Lord knows these decisions are out of O'bumbles hands. Thankfully.

Werd.

The Liar in Chief made a bunch of campaign promises, then actully got there, and said "Wow, this shit isn't as easy as it sounded."


He realized the perils of having Dick Cheney mad at him.

That's a pretty broad generalization. I'll bet that they aren't all quite so dedicated.
