POW

Get our man out we do not leave any nan or women behind, Rember that.

Amen

Amen, Muser. Instead we cut taxes for the rich and signed up for the Imperialists R Us club. Thank God for presidential term limits.

I don't know about the kidnapping

but the offensive is years overdue. After the American anger of 9/11, there should not be a Taliban dude left standing anywhere---and yet there are as many as ever.

It's a great failing of the USA under Bush that we asked a faithful few to sacrifice greatly in Afghanistan while not putting the rest of America in the fight. We should have had special war taxes, a funded-in-real-time doubling of American ground force capability and this dang thing should have been over by now.
