Just job security for the MIC.

3. When the Neocons feel weak they kill 3rd world people...in our name. Using high-tech weapons

against a primitive people is a joke. Our forces are advertising to the world that they are incompetent.

4. no shit!

and Obama want to accelerate the killing?

:(

[shintao]

6. I don't think so

What Obama is doing is back stepping the military out of the ME. What was last is now first, so empty troops out of Iraq and back to Afghanistan, and then home. And lets remember, this is what Bush's generals want to do, and Obama isn't interfering with their judgement calls, so good.

8. Is it time for the US to stop killing civilians in Afghanistan?

There is nothing for coalition forces to accomplish and no excuse for this any more. Supposedly the new US government wants to escalate? (Not even a cut to the Pentagon budget?!)

Leave these people be!
