Answer 1

Since most liberals are defeatists and anti-war, they will say anything to hurt our will to fight. When they say those things, they say them in hopes of our troops hearing it and destroying their morale. What liberals don't understand is that if we lose this fight and radical islam were to take over and establish sharia law in the United States, they will be the first ones rounded up and executed. Muslims respect bravery, not homosexual loving liberals. They are a useful tool right now, but as soon as they are not needed, they would be executed.

Another problem our military faces is the politicizing of the war by liberals. The "cut and run" dems in the house and senate keep mucking up the water instead of letting Don Rumsfeld push forward and get this thing done. If we had not attacked and started the war on terror, Bush would be blamed for not doing anything. The libs are still pissed because they lost in 2000 so they blame Bush for everything instead of standing up and becoming Americans. If Gore would have won and he had attacked the terrorists, the media would have been all for it. THAT is really what all this anti-war crap boils down to, they lost and are throwing a fit.

Answer 2

The hindrance with liberals is simply that they recognize such a lot that is not so. The Liberal ideology is a conception , fostered via a delusional, illogical minority and which holds forth ideals that haven't any foundation simply. They are Advocates of a coverage that empowers a robust federal govt to enslave its men and women with a top tax burden incident to the help of extravagant and pointless social systems harmful to each the paintings ethic a few of the curb magnificence, and the inducement to innovate and be successful a few of the running magnificence. "When the men and women uncover that they are able to vote themselves cash, on the way to usher in the top of the republic." Liberals love to spend different peoples cash!! The disorders we are facing in these days are considering that the men and women who paintings for a dwelling are outnumbered via folks who vote for a dwelling. * @

How does this moment in our military history compare to prior moments in military history? Some of us understand the potential of our great military as was seen during the period of 1942 through the fall of 1945, for example. By comparison, we are not doing much are we?

Answer 4

You better do your research buffman........there are Republicans, Democrats and even retired Army generals who say we are not getting the job done like it should be. Can't blame it all on the liberals. When you come out of your delusional fog one day you'll realize there are "bogeymen" in all walks of life. And by the way, the Taliban has made an upsurge, too bad we got distracted in Iraq.

Answer 5

If you go looking for trouble you will find it: Your question is inflammatory, and of the ilk that instigates and keeps the fear-ridden hatred stirring. This is a-typical of the American politico, who basis is in the British mindset - So much for the 'revolution' of becoming different than the Brits. You're exactly following in their warhawk footsteps of hunting for the phantom bogiemen: yet, the truth is there will always be the 'terrorist' in your midst. Pssst, look in the mirror... ah, BINGO, you found another!

Answer 6

The USA Today article indicates that the American forces (under NATO command) are being sent there to stabilize a region. This is because we pulled out so hastily 4 years ago to fight an UNRELATED war in Iraq. In other words, our NEGLIGENCE over the past 4 years now requires that we sent these troops, not to hunt Taliban, but to restore order - and that is a BIG difference, my friend.

The Yahoo Article you linked to is an article quoting a pathological liar - George W. Bush, whose word is worth less then an a ton of cow dung. An article claiming that "it's only a matter of time" before we catch Bin Laden is hardly a story at all. What kind of time - GEOLOGICAL TIME.

Honestly, I wish simpletons like you would stop resorting to names like "liberal." When you do so, you stop your brain from thinking and simplify important world issues to fit your prefabricated view of the world.

Oh, and Stop watching O'Reilly.

Answer 7

Gee, perhaps you can tell me why Bill Frist wants the Taliban in the Afghanistan government? Hunting the Taliban? Your party wants to greet them with open arms? Care to answer this?

It's not that no effort is being made, it's that there hasn't been enough of a committment to secure Afghanistan and to look for Bin Laden.

The CIA closed its Bin Laden unit a few months ago. Bush never mentioned Bin Laden for several years, but has brought him up for the past few weeks in speeches. Bush stated Bin Laden isn't important anymore to the fight on terrorism as early as 2003.

NATO is handling military operations in much of Afghanistan now. The Taliban control much of the country again.

Your first article simply says 13,000 US troops are there under NATO command and 21,000 troops are under US command.
This is good, but many more are needed.

The US took down the Taliban government nearly 5 years ago, but largely abandoned it to fight in Iraq. Things have gone poorly since with more and more areas reverting to Taliban control. They are burning girl's schools, beheading school principles, things like that. The Taliban finances its operations with poppy sales -- most of Afghanistan is now a radical Islamic narco-state. Afghanistan now supplies 90% of the heroin for the world. Karzai is concerned he's losing the little part of the country he still controls.

Your second article is just a report of Bush saying he is hunting Bin Laden and making progress on the war on terror. The bulk of the evidence and reports show that this isn't so, and you know it.

Answer 9

simple, we are not in Afghanistan!!!!
some advice for you: Stop calling people liberals, conservatives,Republicans, or Democrats. Just look at all that is happening, come up with your own conclusions and you will see what is right and what is wrong.
trust me, everything will seem more obvious, blind hate for people you don't even know will only limit your experience.

Answer 10

The thing is we are not fighting the Taliban in Iraq. Iraq has hampered our ability to devote enough troops in Afghanistan to end the Taliban completely and capture Osama Bin Laden.

You need to listen to the Liberals more closely.
