Obama needs to decide whether he will continue the wars of the republicans and multi national corporations making billions off war, or whether he will end militarization and begin to take care of the american people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-32187841192533326442009-10-20T18:09:32.190-04:002009-10-20T18:09:32.190-04:00"Why is there no Congressional Budget Office ...<i>"Why is there no Congressional Budget Office "scoring" to determine what 10 years in Afganistan will cost?"</i><br /><br />what difference does it make?

Th...Afgani women say they want the US military out. They are causing violence and causing more of their men to join the Taliban. The Taliban are not interested in attacking anyone but the occupiers.<br /><br />Zbig Brezenski delivered all kinds of weapons systems to the Taliban decades ago to fight the Russians. The Taliban are religious zealots, but they are not AlCIAEDA. <br />What worked after 6 years in Iraq will not work in Afganistan. <br /><br />Karzai and his brother (a huge opium dealer), will never bring peace to Afganistan. They are so corrupt and in the pockets of the War Lords that the women are more fearful of the War lords than the Taliban. They believe their men will not join the Taliban, if the American occupiers get out of their country.<br /><br />It costs $400. a gallon to get gas to this land locked region. We are not good at nation building which is what is required there. Why isnt the UN in there since that is what are supposed to best at.<br /><br />Perhaps its because the Afgani women at RAWA.com, are reporting huge deposits of oil, gas, iron, emeralds, rubies, and other huge resources. Thats why the Russians wanted Afganistan, and thats what the US wants. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Taliban. As General Jones reported there are approximately 100 ALCIADA left in Afganistan which can be disposed of with special forces.<br /><br />Are we americans ready to give up billions perhaps trillions to kill more people? Do you not think it will only add fuel to the fire of the Pakastanis, who are hiding the ALCIAEDA? Do you want our military to be a support system, guarding their resources while corporations go into remove them. The Taliban beat the hell out of Russia, caused their demise and bankrupted them. Is this what we want to happen to America. Why is there no Congressional Budget Office "scoring" to determine what 10 years in Afganistan will cost? Why does ONLY health reform which would benefit the american people get scored, but wars....we got plenty of bucks for wars?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
