Rachel Maddow Show 3/31/09 - Neocons Return

msnbc.com: The Neocons are back. The same Republicans who sold the country on the war in Iraq have formed a new group called the Foreign Policy Initiative, and declaring their last group as “mission accomplished.” Is this group going to catch on? Rachel Maddow is joined by thinkprogress.org’s Matt Duss.

I don't know why we really pay attention to these guys(Neocons lol looks like necrons from Warhammer :^O). We've already established that they are all idiots. And the fact that they have very little to no influence anymore. Report something that matters instead of beating this dead horse deader.

^ I'm not even sure what "victory in Afghanistan" means. At what point can we say "ok, we're done, lets go home"?

Should we leave and let it drift back into the situation it was in before we invaded, or should we stay there until it completely bankrupts the US?

Terrorists can blow up a few buildings, but they can't destroy an industrialized nation. However, major financial collapse brought about by an unwinnable war can. How many resources do we dump into that country before we decide that we can't afford it anymore? Hell, we can't afford it now.

About the "victory in Afghanistan is in sight" quote, I thought that at the time too. The Taliban were crushed as a military force by the coalition with the Northern something or other and then the US moved on to Iraq and the tide turned to the new powers struggling with Taliban resistance. It seemed to me that splitting the American forces and strategic concentration caused a lot of trouble.

Neocons: When Rich White Idiots Attack


That is disgusting (anti-white) racist slur. You should be ashamed of yourself. And in the same time you have no idea what you are talking about. Most of those folks aren't even Caucasians/White but Semites... I suggest some reading into this subject before posting any more!
