#1 Back where we started. Everything must obey Islamic law. Oy vey... And I'm sure there'll soon be established the equivalent of a Council of Guardians filled with mullahs, like in Iran.

Gods, I had thought that Afghanistan atleast had been a victory against Islamofascism. Not to be, it seems. Absolute religious freedom and separation of church from state should have been put in the constitution -- without that we only managed to exchange one gang for another.

#2 Hmmm... That's unusual. We're in complete agreement.

#3 This really pisses me off. What in hell did we invest all that money and--more importantly--the lives of our soldiers for? So it could become a "Taliban-lite" state? Screw this...

I propose we start teaching small unit tactics to all K-6 classes for the next five years to prepare them early to go in and finish the job since we've dropped the ball. I thought we cut the head off the snake but it turns out it's a hydra.

#4 "The most important thing that a country like Afghanistan needs is stability,"

And you think you will get that by having an Islamic Republic (1)? Brahahahahahahahaha!!!! Oh Stop! Your killing me!

(1)- Or any other religious-based state for that matter. There *is* a very good reason Jesus said to give unto Caesar what is Caesars and unto God what is Gods...)

#5 Why are the world's Muslims so damned determined to prove they're incapable of living in modern societies? Do they REALLY want the civilized world to decide they're untrainable barbarians, dangerous to both themselves and us?

The investment is supposed to be to get Osama. Anything outside of that is to assuage our liberal collaborators.

Congrats, Afghanistan.

#7 I also am concerned in the extreme over this development. I was a strong supporter of both of these wars....though I was not generally favorably disposted toward Bush.

I see myself as a good progressive liberal and these wars actually advanced my liberal world agenda. I had even planned to vote Republican for the first time in '04...

But Sweet Lord, this development really makes me crazy...almost as bad as the Ramadan dinner in our White House last week...

Could somebody tell me what is going on. Has bush gone completely soft in the head...has he gone "wobbly" in that famous phrase?
