NATO Taking Over Southern Afghanistan In July - New England Patriots Forums

***IcyPatriot*** · 06-05-2006, 08:09 AM

NATO is taking over Southern Afghanistan in July. Spposedly, they will double the number of forces there from @3000 to @6000. Their goal is to root out and crush the upsurging Taliban. I have no doubt this will be the case.

A search on any search engine concerning Afghan news will show that the United States has really dropped the ball there. From aid all the way to too much of a "COWBOY CAVALIER ATTITUDE". This supposedly has hindered their effectiveness as the Afghan people don't go out of their way to help anymore. Not my opinion on our men and women, just what is in the media correct or not.

A good and welcome move to get the United States out of there. Now, do these @3000 military people get to come home? Or, do they go to Iraq? If they get to come home, then good. If, they are sent to Iraq, then by all means use them for a major offensive to hasten our exit from Iraq.

You know...your message was tongue in cheek...but after all this fighting and many lives lost...50 years from now Afghanistan and Iraq will be divided to keep all happy. These people are the most racist on the planet...way worse than anything ever seen here in the United States.

Not even racist. They're all the same race, same language, same religion. It's where you live and which subdivision of the religion that can get you killed. It's the worst hell-hole on the planet.
