Are Islamic Radical Sensing Political Weakness
(Read all posts from McQ)
It is all fine and good to have a discussion and even a debate about future strategy in Afghanistan. But probably not 6 months after you've announced your former strategy. For some reason, dithering has a tendency to be interpreted as a ...

Why Would Americans Be For An Afghan Surge?
(Read all posts from Melissa Clouthier)
Americans poll positive on surging in Afghanistan. Why would that be? Because most Americans have dealt with moles, ant-hills, head lice, or some other kind of nasty infestation. The bugs die when they are 1. exterminated and 2. the environment is cleaned up.

After spending four years getting all fired up about Iraq, the issue almost completely dropped off of the radar screen the moment Barack Obama was elected. However, that's only because Bush's success with the surge made it clear that Obama was taking over a war ...

After watching the video of Pvt. Bergdahl yesterday, I had a lot of questions.
Without knowing details of how he was captured, it's hard to make much of a judgement on this. He's making statements about wanting all of the troops to come home, and it ...

Rusty Shackleford is spitting bullets about the fact that the Taliban have kidnapped Pvt. Bowe Bergdahl and are parading him for propaganda purposes. Although it's easy to get all tangled up about international law and whether the Geneva Convention should extend to these people, ...

Moonbat insanity has now guaranteed that terrorists fighting our troops in Afghanistan will hide behind civilians:
The top U.S. general in Afghanistan will soon formally order U.S. and NATO forces to break away from fights with militants hiding in Afghan houses so the battles do not ...

I'm glad to see Barack Obama ignoring, at least for the moment, the voices of those in his own party who want to cut and run in Afghanistan. During the campaign, he talked a lot about ramping up our efforts there and he does seem ...

There's quite a discussion going on in the blogosphere regarding President Obamateur's Afghanistan plans, which you can view over at Memeorandum (here and here), but here is some information that seems to be missing, and it takes the far left UK Guardian to show

Since our foolish, weak President who believes he can solve all problems simply via his sheer wonderfulness took office, there have been some extremely alarming developments that may have an enormous impact on the war in Afghanistan.
A couple of weeks ago, I noted that, "The ...

Hmmm, how many times during the HopeyChangey campaign (which is still going strong at barackobama.com) did we hear something similar to this?
As President, I would deploy at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan to re-enforce our counter-terrorism operations and support NATO's efforts against the Taliban.

Question: "What do you think about:
a) Negotiating with the Taliban
or
b) Negotiating with people who are allied with the Taliban, but no Taliban leadership?" -- D-Vega
Answer: I think whether you negotiate with your enemies or not is a very situational decision that tends to depend ...

Well Europe finally has the US president they want and how do they say "boy are we glad you're the man?"
France's defence minister on Wednesday appeared to rule out any immediate reinforcement of French troops in Afghanistan if requested by Barack Obama, the new US ...

"But as Obama becomes more hawkish on Afghanistan, the antiwar movement and Democrats face a splintering process between those who want to militarily defeat the Taliban (the Vote Vets PAC, Tom Matzzie, Rand Beers and his "liberal" National Security Network etc.) and nearly all the ...

One of things that liberals often say, but don't believe (There's a lot of that going on with the left) is that we need to get out of Iraq so we can focus all of our attention on Afghanistan.
However, once you understand liberals, you come ...

"If we pulled completely out of Iraq, say in early 2008, you'd start seeing a slow, but steadily rising trickle of liberal bloggers and activists calling for us to leave Afghanistan, too.
Then, after the 2008 election, you'd start seeing small, but significant numbers of Democratic ...

I'm sure you heard about 9 soldiers being killed in Afghanistan a couple of weeks ago. As AP reported it, it was a "setback", the "newly established base" there was 'abandoned' by the Americans. That, of course, was the extent of their coverage.

The "forgotten war" or the one that should have been remembered, Afghanistan is a place that looks suspiciously like Palm Springs except the women wear Burkas instead of bathing suits. Logically, this is the "good war", the legal and justified war, but like the ...
