And here I thought Afghanistan was our response to the 9-11 attacks. Silly me.

'There aren't any good targets in Afghanistan'

-Don Rumsfeld

That quote's a little out of context, but whatever. We're still in Afghanistan and people are still being shot at, which means there must be some targets there.

The operation in Afganistan has been hampered by the shift of resources to Iraq.

Where is Bin Laden? Didn't we capture Saddam a while back?

I would agree considering we have less than 30K troops on the ground in Afghanistan

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,

Bush apparently has different priorities than OBL and bringing him to justice

And of course, you guys know the proper number of troops for this sort of mission much better than the generals in charge of the troops... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

More out of context quotes. If you expect to be taken seriously then I suggest that you drop the Michael Moore-wannabe act and give proper context to the quotes you give.

Or maybe I'm wrong and you actually don't know the context behind these quotes and are just swiping them from liberal talking points without a care as to the context. Lord knows it's happened before...

So where is Bin Laden?

Problem is Bush and Rumsfeld don't listen to their own generals.

How much more clearer can I make it that Bush doesn't put a priority on punishing OBL for 9/11 than give you quotes from the proverbial horse's mouth...

Jump up and down and scream liberal all you want. It doesn't change the fact that Bush said those things in response to direct questions about the hunt for OBL.

My point was here my brother is in the military protecting our way of life and this woman on the day he leaves says such a thing...now she is a bush hater, but still if theres any day of the year to bite your tongue it is that day..his blood could spill on iraq soil and her comment is the best she can do?

I think you should solve your problems with her and don't waste our time with your personal vendettas.

Perhaps she doesn't believe that invading and occupying Iraq has anything to do with protecting our way of life... a lot of people hold that opinion. Yes, she probably could have chosen her words better, but considering the general political climate surrounding the war in Iraq I don't see how her comments could be a huge surprise, especially given your knowledge that she is a "Bush hater."

Are there still loads of you neocons out there who actually believe that fighting in Iraq is protecting your way of life? Seriously?
