Didn't somebody say we beat the afghanis like a red headed step child?

Looks like nobody told the afghanis they were beat bad and had to kiss amrican feet from now on...

Whos gonna be the first to say "bomb 'em back to the stone age!"?

Remember that saying, from back when the war was glorius?

Anyway, poor columbine guy, he's shot dead now.

On April 20, 1999, Milam, a senior at Columbine High School, lost his buddy, Isaiah Shoels.

"Luke was devastated by the shooting and the loss of his good friend and workout partner Isaiah Shoels," his friend Rusty West said. "After attending Isaiah's memorial service, Luke came home, sat in the dark with his mom and cried, saying that he was done going to memorial services and talking about the shooting," West said at Milam's funeral at Littleton United Methodist Church today.

"He had first blamed himself for his friend's death, for not being in the cafeteria, for not saving people, for not knowing what to do, but had come to the realization that he did not have the skills or the knowledge to have made a difference."

At that point, West said, Luke Milam vowed to go into the Navy, become a corpsman and prepare himself so "he would never be in that position again," West said.

Milam died on Sept. 25 during a battle between coalition and Taliban forces near the city of Musa Qula, an opium-poppy growing area of Afghanistan.

No Bill, the Afganis were on our side

That would be the Taliban that we beat "like a red-headed step child" and it was the US Military , the Northern Alliance and the Pashtune tribes who drove the them out of Afganistan

I wouldn't say Afganistan is going "swimmingly" .

Since we've expelled the Taliban , the Afghan GDP has increased by 66 per cent, 40 percent of that is attributable to the dramatic increase in heroine exports

More importantly - since the US has concentrated their time on Iraq - the Taliban have returned to southern Afghanistan and are running rampant - they may not be the ruling party anymore - but dont kid yourselves into thinking they have been driven out of the country

how can you bomb a nation back into the stone ages when it is already operating in the stone ages?

[no this is not a riddle. this is the irony of foolish rhetoric dispensed before an ignorant populace.]

silly americans, if you can't get excellent cell phone connections 500 cable channels, drive 70mph on the freeway in your SUV to your 5,000 sqft mini-palace, you are cripplingly impoverished. Without them they would helpless.

Americans: clueless.

Robbing their children & grandchildren to afford all these luxuries?

Americans: shuddering, vomiting morally sick.

I was joking. The only people that seem to think things are going well there are the talking heads bought and paid for by Rupert Murdoch.

Oh, that explains it.

So, where did those taliban invaders come from, since they weren't afghanis?

And why haven't we chased all those nasty talibanis out of our friends the afghanis country?
