Default Major Assault in Afghanistan

Thousands of Marines are moving on a Taliban stronghold. Can't wait for the repug take on this one. They'll probably accuse Obama of treason, or something.

Fox will probably run a story lashing out at him for not doing this last September.

What did the Taliban ever have to do with terrorism?

They never posed a threat to anyone outside of Afghanistan.

No, methinks this war in Afghanistan is about control of the poppie fields. When you consider that the drug trade is the world's most lucrative business...

This theory is further bolstered by what we have learned about the CIA -- how they controlled the drug trade out of SE Asia for many years -- a period of time that -- hey - funny thing -- just happens to coincide with the Viet Nam War...

How did that happen?

To be sure -- China is another part of this story. No doubt -- the US war in Afghanistan is ultimately aimed at Bhejing....

This operation probably is about drugs and the money they make. Right now its being used to support the enemies military so it makes sense.

The Taliban cozied up to Bin Laden, Bin Laden attacked America, nuff said.

Now Gaff is going to stand up for the guys who shoot women in the head who try to go into the street alone to buy bread for their starving children, because everybody knows it's a capital crime for a woman to be seen in public without a man. Oh yeah, and the Taliban didn't build and maintain and harbor Al Queda who murdered thousands of Americans? But does Gaff stick up for the poor slobs working in the WTC on that September morning who chose to leap to their deaths from a hundred stories rather than burn to death? No. Of course not. He sticks up for the murdering scum who brought that terror to our shores. Always, it is the U.S. at fault. Gaff, you can always buy a plane ticket and go live with your heroes. Like that kid from Orange County. Get yourself a turban and go sit in the dirt with the medieval troglodytes you worthless POS.

All right! Now we're talking! I knew the Right would come up with something. I can't wait to hear this talking point expanded by Rush and the crew. "Obama is only doing this to control the drug trade."

I'll give praise when praise is due. I applaud the President for seeing where our troops really need to be. Hopefully this time around we wipe them out for good. Way to go Obama! Happy now lefties?

I never got the impression during his campaign that Obama wouldn't do this or be capable of it. Good for us and them.

That's not what I meant. Why I mean is that because this area is the hub of poppy production, that is why they plan to go there, take it, and keep it. By controlling the poppy production they can control the money that Taliban is using to fund there operations.

Typical by the left to think everything an attack, the left so paranoid.

The only reason to stay in this province is to keep the taliban from getting money. So yeah they went because of the poppy plants, but more because those poppy plants fund the enemy. It's not to control drugs, its too control drugs that an enemy is using to fight you.

Get over it and stop seeing everything as an attack on the Obama.

I generally don't waste my time responding to your grasps at reality, but this post is laughable.

Other than being in cahoots with al-Queda? Oh, that's right, you don't think al-Queda attacked the US either.

The real point is where is the opium money going?

Could it be we are spending American lives to protect CIA revenue? or go to the families that support the taliban,

People here are really mixed up on what we are doing.

Meanwhile we have an excellent testing program for US based SAT predators and future development of mass popultion control from orbit via GPS.

It's obvious to me that this is not a battle between Al-Queda and the Puppet govt, but for control of the poppy fields.

The battle is for the swat valley, THE POPPY FIELDS.

It's the only agricultural region in afghan. Rest is Desert.

Increasing evidence shows it was likely a bumbled a false flag operation.



It's not unknown in ancient, modern, or post nuclear conflicts.

If it was so obvious, why didn't GW focus on the problem and send enough troops to get the job done?

Oh, that's right, he was too busy making Haliburton and Blackwater wealthy in Iraq.

Obama gets credit for creating a 'surge' in Afghanistan......because he did.

It's not that difficult to grasp.
