re: #499 Bagua

Interesting that in a thread of 492 comments and 58 users online, no-one can answer my question as to who we are fighting in Afghanistan, who are our allies, who are their allies among the varies groups.

Should we be fighting a war in which we do not know whose side we are on and who are our allies?

Should we be committing another 30 thousand troups to the slaughterhouse with a “Clear Mission” that is impossible in the time frame proposed?

I don’t know if 58 users on a blog, some of which weren’t directly discussing your topic, are a sufficient sample to use the royal “we” for ignorance.

I think you need to look at the nuances of the plan. Obama did not say “bomb the bastards,” or take on the slightly toned down view of that staement that NJDevils was going with for a while.

What is your alternative plan?
