		<description><![CDATA[I hate Obama and his administration with a passion, but this article is disingenuous. Yes, since 2008 Obama has done absolutely nothing to enhance a non-corrupt government in Afghanistan, and yes he tied the hands of those serving during that time as well, but the reason 73% of American troops have been killed during his tenure could be that we had a much smaller footprint there after the start of the Iraq war. We relied heavily on the other ISAF members during that time, Canada among them to hold the fort, and they did what they could. 



I remember many of us had hoped the Iraq invasion could be held off for 2 years or so to strengthen our position in Afghanistan, but things don&#039;t usually work out that way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My impression is we went to Afghanistan looking for Bin Laden.  Then, we realized that the Taliban was trying to propel the country back to the 8th Century. Their treatment of women, in particular, was and is, atrocious. Our efforts were immediately rewarded by a resounding defeat of the Taliban.  However, we began &quot;nation building,&quot; something an army is not trained to do and we set ourselves up as targets for a resurgent Taliban and a corrupt government.  I agree that Afghanistan is unconquerable and the best thing we can do is leave the savages to their own devices. We can&#039;t be policeman to the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A bit strange that you only count the Americans killed in this war...
How many Afghan people did you Americans kill? You don&#039;t know? You don&#039;t care? 

Look, nobody asked you to come to Afghanistan, as well as many other places. 
Secondly, those killed knew they were going to war, and they made their free choice. 
Thirdly, every invador deserves to be killed, Americans are no exempt.



And finally, no one has been able to conquer the Afghan people. They did not tolerate the British colonialists in the 19th century; the Soviet Union had spent nearly 10 years at war in this country and was forced to leave. 

Now it&#039;s your turn Americans, you learned nothing from history.
Didn&#039;t you know that Afghanistan is known as &quot;the graveyard of empires&quot;? So burry your imperial ambitions and go home, do some clean up in your own country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see that we have entered shark infested waters.   Obama wants to help out the MB but his hands
are ties.   Aw to bad! The video
interview with Bashar al-Assad gives
very good indication of who a lot of the players are and what they want.  I don’t think that Obama cares at all for any
of our men in arms.  Remember they are
infidels according to isham.  It doesn’t matter
how many die.  But there will be a price
to pay for all the blood of the American soldiers that gave their lives because
of the incompetent of this administration, If not in this world the next for
sure.   No one will be exempt when the
Lord Jesus Christ judges this world.    The resolve of the American people is rock
solid.  The foundation of our constitution
bears the absolute that makes up our life blood and what we stand for.  In the same way that Jesus Christ gave his
life freely for our salvation, our Men in arms give of themselves for our
freedom on earth.  

Praise the LORD,
Thank you Men in arms]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think Barry (over the last 5 yrs) realizes how many people have lied to him about our country that he is ashamed. The sad part is he does not know what to do because he is just not that bright.
No thinking human being in the office he holds could possibly blind himself to reality for that long. Therefore, Barry is either evil, or inept.
You make the call.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The photo of Obama in the tank is obviously a takeoff of former presidential candidate Michael Dukakis&#039;s pose that caused him so much ridicule.  The late Jerry Williams, a Boston radio talk show host, and one of the pioneers of that genre, ran a contest to come up with a caption.  The winning caption was &quot;Sergeant Dork.&quot;]]></description>
