Taleban still runs 10% of Afghanistan

[240 is Back]

Six years after being ousted in the US-led invasion, the Taleban have retaken about 10% of Afghanistan, US intelligence chief Mike McConnell says.

We need Barack Obama to get in there and clean things up.  He advocated bombing Pakistan when Mccain mocked the idea, but Bush did it last week and got AQ's #3 man.

Obama's been making a lot of noise about the fact we've ignored Afghanistan, the true villians of 9/11.
McCain has not.

Obamma will take troops out of Iraq.
Obama will put the troops in Afghanistan.
Obama may bomb Pakistan.

He will also fix the economy at the same time while fighting terrorists.

And he'll do all this while ignoring the basics of why the economy is fucked in the first place, (printing money out of thin air, etc, etc.).

Wow, I'm impressed.

to get money for what he's saying, and slow the borrowing, he will end bush tax cuts, and spend a lot less than $12 bil a month in Iraq.

He's still not addressing the fundamental problem of the monetary system. No one is, (except one guy), untill they do, we're fucked.

yes, and none of them will.

the solution is a slow turnaround, hedged with keeping the dollar in place for all that new iraqi oil that'll be flowing soon.

obama will give us that slow turnaround.  Ending 1/2 the war effort and cutting the bush tax cuts for wealthy and oil corps can easily create a surplus of 500B per year up to $1tril per year, depending on how far Obama will take it.

Four years of that, the nat'l debt drops from 10 tril to 7 or 8 tril, iraqi oil is flowing, people like us again, and domestically things get better.  Eight years of that, the nat'l debt is almost back down to where it was in 2000.

Change we can believe in.

No, I think it's possible but I just don't think there is anything very different or special about Obama. Just another scummy politician.

he knows what battles to fight and what not to fight.

bottom line is that it's going to be him or mccain.

and mccain already promised to deliver Bush term #3 on most issues.

anything other than that is an improvement.

This is unfortunately true...

Russia was unable to sustain it's presence in Afghanistan, America's fate will be the same.
