I think it's mostly Taliban activity, not al Qaeda. They're upset
that we're allowing women to go to school.

News blackout? The media have been talking about it for months. I
daresay it's conventional wisdom now that Afghanistan is getting worse
while Iraq is getting better. Obama cetainly talked about the
problems in Afghanistan during the campaign, and I don't remember
anybody standing up and saying "No, things are going pretty well in
Afghanistan!"

There is no news blackout, just everyone is distracted by Iraq.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/25/terror/main4378751.shtml
There is plenty of information, but you have to search for it. There have
even been Documentaries where an embedded film crew go out with the green
berets and show how bad it is there for the Americans. I don't have the
name of it, but if I get some time later I will look for it and post it.

Howard Beale is correct. Obama has promised to escalate the conflict in
Afghanistan, and has also pointedly mentioned that intervention in
Pakistan is very possible.
It's the main reason I do not support him.

We are getting our asses kicked in Afghanistan. We need to send more
troops there. True Story.

Escalation isn't the only option. It's an unwinnable war. We need to get
the fuck out already, use those resources for something productive.

You know, thank god out forefathers didn't have this tuck your tail and
run attitude. The revolution was unwindable too, in fact we were loosing
for some time.
If we get the resources we need into Afghanistan it will be winnable. The
question is at what cost and will the results be worth that cost.

I really hope you can distinguish the difference between the revolution
and a war of choice in Afghanistan.

Of course, if you're willing to dedicate several hundred thousand soldiers
to the task. Where do you propose we find the manpower? And once we "win"
(whatever the hell that means), what next? Do you think that by "winning,"
you've suddenly conquered worldwide terrorism and the world will be safer
place? Or do you think, perhaps, that you've actually radicalized more
people and had the opposite effect, as has happened in Iraq?
It's pointless. Declare victory, and get the hell out already.

It's still my argument. You made a rant ... and no point at all. What am
I suppose to say? You mentioned other ways to deal with this, yet you
mention none. I am assuming that you just like to spew non-sense with no
real content... so I'm done.

i believe many iranians want a more free society,there is a
considerable expat iranian population around the world.what i was
saing is a situation may develope which obama has no control of that
might force his hand to be more involved.

Several big differences.
First, the war in Iraq is essentially over.
The war in Nam under Kennedy was just starting.
There was plenty of room for the escalation under Johnson.
Today, we have Iran.
AFAIK, no one, even the most rabid War Monger in the Pentagon advises
us to put boots on the ground in Iran.
The average Iranian wants simply to get the ruling Mullah hierarchy
off their backs.
A political writer, whose name I cannot remember at the moment, has
been urging us for years now, to use every political means short of
outright war, to get the Iranians to work up the courage, and the
ability to overthrow the tyrants ruling them.
His tagline has been "Faster, please."
