Worst Case Solution/Shittiest Case Scenario

The "hawks" are constantly telling us that if we prematurely leave Afghanistan, the Taliban will inevitably return to power there. They also tell us that if in fact this does happen, Al Qaeda will also return - and quickly..................................................................................Well, guess what, me-buckos, to this I stoutly say, FANTASTIC! I mean, think about it here. Wouldn't it be much better to have these frigging a-holes loose in Afghanistan - this, as opposed to Pakistan? This, I'm saying, in that that way we can blow their frigging brains out and not have to worry about near the number of repercussions...................................................................................And, really, folks, doesn't a rationale for such an open-ended commitment also come with a shit-load of presuppositions? First of all, the Taliban is thoroughly despised by a huge percentage of the Afghan people. They and the various factions of that country are hardly going to roll over and allow these mother-effers to dominate them. And even if the Taliban does reign supreme again, I'm not necessarily convinced that they're going to want to deal with Al Qaeda. One, they're already going to be war weary at that point and two, I also think that they're going to pretty much remember their previous association (how miserably that worked out for them, etc.) with them. I'm not so frigging sure that they're going to want to travel that road again. I mean, think about it. Who in their right mind wants to be blown to smithereens?....Well, you know what I mean.

Will,
I think you're right,should the Taliban regain control not only would they recall the grief AQ types caused for them,but the consideration for a guest would not apply but rather the hatred and distrust of foreigners. In short they would not allow an AQ presence there. Plus as I recall the Northern Alliance (I know they changed their name but don't care I still call Titans the Oilers) despises AQ for ethnic reasons,plus Shia-Sunni divide.

I just hope that it doesn't turn out like Vietnam, Oso. Johnson and Nixon both knew that we couldn't "win" that sucker. But they kept on sending troops - just to avoid being the guy who "lost" it. Obama's a smart guy and, yet, I'm starting to sniff out something similar NOW. I really hope I'm wrong.

Thing about Johnson and Nixon,they were both hardened political infighters and they still couldn't do the right thing. fear of looking bad to the other party,to their national security guys, yeah fear of being the guy who lost. So I guess one could make the case how can guys like Obama or Bush,lightweights compared to the other guys,do the right thing?

Oso, I'm having trouble with my computer (a virus). I'm not able to navigate at certain sites and Swiftspeech! unfortunately is one of them (Boston Maggie, Random Thoughts, and Sozadee I CAN function at). I've made some comments at Swiftspeech! while at work and I hope to get the issue solved soon. I just wanted you and STELLA!!! (sorry, I always have to do that) to know why my participation has been down. Thanks for keeping in touch and having patience with my "mavericky" (ode to Mrs. Palin, obviously) outbursts.
