re: #110 albusteve

we know all that…so what’s BOs plan?…he’s telegraphed and moved the withdrawal dates down the road…what is his idea of success?…you are comfortable with this tragic nonsense, I am not…the reason nobody is over there backing us up is because they know it’s doomed to fail…hello?

Steve - least you actually think that I’m all warm and fuzzy about “this tragic nonsense” - I’ll just gently remind you that as the father of a son who this spring will be commisioned in the US Army as an MP and who stands a pretty good chance of being deployed into harms way, I follow what this administration commits our service members to.

The reasons for our being in Afghanistan have withstood the test of time and debate - this is not Iraq.
How we as a nation work through this and eventually complete our active military involvement is anyone’s guess. But to pull up stakes and yank away any chance of a stable Afghanistan from existing would be more of a tragic nonsense.
