Harper should have told her to fuck off, and starting Friday we're pulling our troops out of Afghanistan. Fuck is she and Obama stupid, we're a country of 30 million people, we've been their from virtually the beginning and on the front lines. After 8 years your military takes a battering, do they not understand we want our soldiers home, we want no more soldiers going down the highway of heroes, our soldiers have done a great job and should be thanked. Get some of those other NATO countries more involved.

I hope this country fucking erupts if Harper waffles on his promise to withdraw. Having a timeframe is the only thing that has kept this country from boiling over on this war - there is no support for it. If we stay, in ANY role...it is absolutely, unequivocally, to appease the US. I hope the debate Clinton tried to stir backfires, emphasizing that lack of support.

A lot of countries are sick of it yeah, but once you get into a war fought through counterinsurgency rather than a tradtional conflict, it will become long, drawn out and uncertain.

The more other countries pull out, the more the rest have to pick up the slack, that's the only problem.

Our soldiers have done their job and did it well, now it's time for us to leave. This war has no direction and I highly doubt it will be won. The Taliban will be patient and just hide in the mountains, they can wait fot decades, they don't care. As far as picking up the slack thats America's problem.

I think it's safe to assume the troops are coming home...I just don't like Clinton coming onto our soil telling us we should do this or that.

the pics of the us army walking through poppy fields, while being told to ignore them, tells me a lot about how fucked up this war is. it will never be won.

i don't see why anyone should have their backs up over this ...

1. they want in afghanistan longer: what's wrong with saying that? ...
2. abortion: also, what is wrong with her comment here? ... the religious nuts in the reform party are trying to alter our stance on reproductive rights ...
3. arctic nations: again - we organized a conference on arctic issues and didn't include 4 primary residents that live in the arctic ... that is wrong

i guess the truth hurts
