105. I just wish.......................
I wish Obama would have Matthew Hoh visit with him. Here's a
guy who REALLY understands the situation in Afghanistan.
There's a civil war going on there and has been for years.
It's also another war we're fighting against an enemy we
helped create. There's no good out come.

I also wish Obama would look back a bit. This war was on the
drawing board way before 9/11. It wasn't about Bin Laden but
it was sort of about the Taliban from the stand point of who
would control the pipe line to the Caspian Sea. Another war
about oil. Imagine that!

There's a reason Afghanistan is called the "Graveyard of
Empires". If we don't come to our senses soon, ours will
be the next one buried there~
