Obama is saying the wrong things about Afghanistan

He hit the right notes during his swing through Iraq, but his plans for that other war could mean trouble.

    There is no "War on terror"!

    There never has been. Its just a slogan the Bushies have used to intimidate their opponents and greatly overreach their powers. (Tyrants they used to call them).

    The only real, legit sensible and just objective since 9/11 has been bringing Osama Bin laden and his henchmen to justice. The one thing Bush and his henchmen have been sure to avoid. Without their boogieman they can't have their fake war.

    The rest is just a waste of lives and treasure pursuing a lie invented by the Bush/Cheney hanta.

    There is no reason to be in Iraq, there never has been. There is only one reason to be in Afghanistan... bringing Bin laden to justice.

    It takes two to tango and with Bush and his right wing henchmen out of power (and hopefully in jail) the fake Islamic/Christian "they hate us because of our freedom" lie will be rejected with the ridicule it deserves.

    Obama is absolutely correct to state that we will go after Bin laden when the opportunity presents itself. Even after eight years of corruption, distraction and incompetence from Bush Bin laden is still free and this nightmare cannot end until he is dealt with.
