#1 They're all good questions, but part of the problem is that you're walking into a battleground that's already prepared against you.

Even if you _do_ start asking the Unanswered Questions, there's someone ready to answer in a manner that's superficially conservative _but_ echoes all the standard communist/islamonazi talking points... over on the other thread someone's drooling forth the typical talking points, that we invented the Taliban then (never mind that the Taliban didn't start up until Bhutto decided they were a great idea for taking over Afghanistan in the mid-90's), that the CIA is behind the Taliban today (Which is both the typical communist and islamonazi talking point today, their top people never repeat it outright, only infer, while the proxy spokesmen at the bottom and at pravda.ru do. They spread the real bile, which the people at the top avoid, but always manage to say something that rhymes with the bile)...

I think you probably had a lot of this with the birther crap... he kept it going because it was a way to suck his critics into a nonproductive dead alley.

I doubt he was a CIA agent, even the CIA isn't that incompetent.

#3 KIA. Our people are getting slaughtered and the Obama re-election MSM is covering it up.

#4 July 17, 2012 -Spc. Krystal M. Fitts July 17, 2012 26 Houston, Texas, USA Female Engagement Team (FET) member

I watched senior leaders lure these innocent 21 year old female soldiers into the FET's and send them out on patrols and Shuras [useless Afghan townhall meetings], or to laise with indigenous females. It was just a matter of time before they turned up KIA. Very, very sad.

#7 I didn't say noone was helping the Taliban.

I merely took exception to the by-now standard piece of propaganda that the US (via its intelligence agencies) was (and still is) responsible for the existance and prosperity of the Taliban. I doubt you really care about Obama one way or another, as long as you can use it to deliver your real payload to the audience.

#8 Our people are getting slaughtered and the Obama re-election MSM is covering it up.

The Obama re-election committee is pulling out all the stops to re-elect this murky Manchurian Candidate. They don't want the economy, any off-teleprompter comments, the war, anything to upset his applecart. Only the ends are important to this bunch not the means.
