      "We will level that village"..then don't be suprised if they try to level maybe, your neighborhood. You see, Mr. Keyboard Cowboy, that is what war is really about.

      These guys keep forgetting that we could have ended this under Dick Cheneys' administration. But economic factors, wartime profits, we needed.

      P.S. After we level these villages, I am sure the rest of the world will consider us conquering heroes..while some of the world will called Christoterroists. If we "level" them, we should be strong enough to take the criticism.

      Napo sounds like an elitist. Betcha he'd like to have some of those 12th century artifacts the must have.

      Napolitano is correct abou the level of education in Afghanistan, but wrong for downing their pride and self-esteem.

      What don't you go to Afghanistan and tell the people what you think Napo!?!

      These war mongers and used war salesmen seem to have a pretty low opinion of the people of Afghanistan. By their reasoning, Afghans are primitives who don't want us there and who will never understand what we're attempting to do over there.

      Any insurgency or occupation is bound to fail unless we win the hearts and minds of the people we claim to be helping. I don't see anyone on the right, who supports this war, who has any respect at all for the people of Afghanistan.

      And if that's the case WTF are we there?

      Can someone explain to me why Napolitano is not on the bench? Did he "retire" or was he removed? Was he discredited and disgraced? Is he mobbed up and working with Bo Dietl ? Inquiring minds want to know.

      No, no... those people can't be in Afghanistan... they're lining up in droves at Scary Palin's book signings.

      I sent a link to the video and the headline from this page to Afghan President Karzai. I also told him about the lies Fox tells about him and Afghanistan in general. I hope he shuts down their operation and throws the reporters out of the conutry.
