      I agree with you that we shouldn't still be in Afghanistan. We should have hit Al Qaeda and the Taliban hard and left (and of course never gone into Iraq).

      That of course has nothing to do with the discussion of whether or not we should observe war crime treaties or put "minimize civilian casualties" on our list of things to try to do when we do fight wars.

        • Alpert was at least right on occasion.

            I miss being called a xenophobe and Islamophobe. Apparently I am both because I disagreed with Al's curious notions of race and skin colour and who is eligible to belong to which race.

            Alpert was at the very least rightwing on more than one occasion. *

                  I'm worried about him. It's been far too long since he came here to tell us how he scared away the latest 'female'.

                  • He might be making it through this time. Though if he did wash out, I doubt he'd come here for a while to take a ration of ****.

                    • Give the man a little credit; Alby has never been afraid to come on Poly right after a massive failure and give us ample reason to mock him.

                        We can look forward to posts from a remote combat area in Afghanistan. Something like:

                        What do I do with this woman? I have an enemy combatant shooting at me but as she is a woman I have no idea what to do. What should I do?

                        • He won't be going to Afghanistan if the president's timetable is to be believed. He's not going to get to a unit before it deploys and I don't think any more Marine reserve units are deploying anyway.

                          • We're out of that sinking ****hole. No way we're gonna stick around any longer than '14. It's just a question of how soon after we see Karzai in a new video, unless he has the sense to flee the country.

                            • wouldn't it be interesting if they found Aimen Al Zawiriri hiding in Karzai's palace, sadly not altogether implausible...

                              • Two birds with one drone.

                                The only question about Karzai isn't has he sold out, it's how many parties has he sold out to concurrently?
