It's Time to Surrender in Afghanistan Call it what you want Brumar. I do not want the US going down because of some two bit country in the Middle East. Enough is enough! Let's sign a document of surrender, apologize for our "aggression," withdraw the troops, and let Osama and the Taliban have a ticker-tape parade in the streets of Kabul before they force women back into their burkas, outlaw education for girls, and start executing homosexuals and Christians again Why do the Afghans let them do it? Our problem is not tactical inferiority, but a lack of political will and a surfeit of political correctness. Following the 9/11 attack, President Bush declared that "Islam is a religion of peace." Try to imagine for a moment that FDR held a press conference on Dec. 8, 1941, to declare that "Japan is a nation of peace." You can't. Its an unwillingness to do nation building in other countries when it is so badly needed here. The assassination of thirteen American troops at Ft. Hood by a Muslim officer in the U.S. Army is the last straw. Wingers are the last straw. They no longer respect the Constitution. If political correctness makes us unwilling or unable to defeat militant Islam from within the officer corps of the U.S. Army at Ft. Hood, Texas, then it's perfectly evident that we're not going to defeat militant Islam in Afghanistan after eight years of trying. It had nothing to do with political correctness. The army was never told that Hasan was emailing with the imam in Yemen.
