Military expert gives Fox News his opinion. lol you have to watch this.

You are proving my point about people that don't care if Congress puts themselves before the betterment of the nation. We hold our politicians to a very low standard in this country.

Man, your memory must be really short--either that, or you must like reducing things to simplistic terms.

That's Cory, not me Jim.

"Nothing has changed since. The transfer of power is still widely regarded to be a sham, the insurgency has put roughly 40% of the country off-limits, and the xxx themselves are sick of us."


Guess who said this?

(wasn't you Fly)

No, I said it, and I was talking about Iraq--and I had a secondary source or two to back up my statement. Legitimate secondary sources that know how to fact-check.

I'm genuinely sorry my analysis of YOUR analytical skills offends you, Raid, but this is just plain petty on your part.

I have serious man-love for this Thomas Ricks dude.

If all it takes is a year, then the United States could plausibly be out of Afghanistan by this time next year

And thus we all speculate and kick the can down the road and watch more Americans die (THANK ALLAH NOT ON TV).... I don't expect you to be an expert on this topic just as I do not take you and most in NST to be an expert on any topic. It seems crazy to me that it will take 24 months...... but what the hell do I know.... I'm not the one getting shot.

It will take 24 more months because that's how much more money the military industrial complex expects after Bush started his wars and until Obama will get into the next one with Iran to keep the war fund dollars flowing. These wars are as much about money as they are about globalist plans. You can't unify a world without finding justification to militarily put the smack down on the most violent hold-outs.
