Then why did you state that the United States should have sent 140,000 troops to Afghanistan. And why did you say that the United States could supply those troops the same way we supply the troops in Iraq? re: "As I have said elsewhere, I am more familiar with that part of the world than most warmongers here. I do know that Afghanistan has been the graveyard for even the mighty British during the 19th century (care to know how many of the tens of thousands of British soldiers came back from the 1840's invasion of Afghanistan? Two! -- not two thousand. Just two soldiers!) "
