Those Iraqi children at the end just about broke my heart. So much pain and evil all around them yet they can still smile. The Lord bless them. Meanwhile in America, some chump at a restaurant has their tri-tip too well done and their night is ruined... So sadedit on 11/20/2011 by easy530 because: (no reason given)
The book "Horse Soldiers" was an interesting read. This Afghanistan nonsense was completely unnecessary. The Taliban was demoralized and on the run after two weeks of Airstrikes and Cavalry charges in a joint US Army, Special Forces-Afghanistan Operation. Wildly successful, the Taliban would have been DEFEATED and Afghanistan would have had a free Secular Government in another week...maybe two.
But...Rumsfeld cancelled the Operation and brought the 40 or so US troops home. Our troops were not pleased to say the least. Rummy didn't want a quick end to the Taliban. War is profitable. The Taliban was allowed to keep a foothold in Afghanistan and regroup and resupply. Time for you Afghan Vets to go looking Rummy up with some good quality hemp line. I'll gladly tie the noose for you.
