Charlie Rose on Afghanistan/Taliban tonight. Robert Gates
Edited on Tue Feb-17-09 01:11 AM by babylonsister
told President Obama to take his time deciding what to do, and this would be vile to get into.
I hope we learn from history. :(

5. This isn't a contest, and I
kind of wish they weren't there, or I could give mine away. Too much. It's lovely to be appreciated, but comments about hearts instead of the OP posted defeats the purpose.

6. So we'd just be throwing money at Afghanistan; sounds dire to me.
I'm glad he's thinking about it.

9. There's some tough shit there.......
Bush was a truly fucked up President, that's for sure.

In fact, all of the decisions Pres. Obama has to make are critical and are
interrelated.

I'd hate to be him!
