1. War is Terrorism nt

[bernynhel]

3. Whether or not war is terrorism..

The U.S. entered Afghanistan to go after Al Queda and bin Laden who have long since left the country - fled to Pakistan. That the mission has shifted to fighting the Taliban who are not allies with Al Queda is total B.S. The Taliban are local thugs, long accepted as a parochial problem and nobody's business but the Afghani's. U.S. OUT OF AFGHANISTAN NOW!

2. The actual scandal....

Obama’s continuation of the Bush-Cheney-Rove policy of radically outsourcing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to corporate criminals like Armor Group, DynCorp, Blackwater, KBR, Triple Canopy, Lockheed Martin and many, many others.

11. SEPT- 14/2001

On the eighth anniversary of the war in Afghanistan, we speak to Democratic Congressmember Barbara Lee, the only lawmaker in either chamber of Congress to vote against the 2001 resolution authorizing the initial use of force. Lee recently introduced legislation to prohibit funding to send more troops to Afghanistan
