>>HAWK = So.. do you think we should just "bow out" and let the Chinese and Russians dominate the region? If so, where would you suggest we actually make a stand? >>Sarman = I get it now, it is a pissing contest. We are not there to liberate women from the burka or get OBL. >>HAWK = For one.. don't pretend like you care about the plight of women in Afghanistan. Secondly, women in Afghanistan are NOT going to have a chance to excel under a Taliban regime. == First of all you are making an assumption, I do care. Now, what were we told to justify the invasion? 8 years later, we still see women in burkas, OBL is still on the lamb and the Talibans are stronger than ever before. (this incident happened in Saudi Arabia). Well, well, well, why I am not surprised, SA is our friend they are helping in bailing out our banks And apparently we ARE there to go after OBL and his minions. We just killed one of the top 5 leaders the other day. Geez, how many top leaders have we killed so far? It seems that we keep killing them and they keep sprouting. How come we never able to kill OBL? After all OBL had a kidney failure and he needs dialysis to live, that was about 8 years ago and fucker keeps appearing in video. He might have the best medical insurance ever to have a dialysis machine in a cave some where between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Or maybe he is a figment of our imagination.
