Bush did absolutely everything wrong and Obama is expounding on it. It is really debilitating to watch!<br /><br /> I get solace out of talking to one of my sons who now agrees and sees it all but he is a hard one and higher ups in the USA EOD system knew it and they gave him free reign to rebuild the educational infrastructural, the personnel, the lesson plans, and now the buildings.<br /><br /> It is comical listening to his relationship with higher ups with the Major and others more superior who want to fight him but like he says "they can be replaced" and they will be because too many were getting killed and the Major loves what Jim is doing. <br /><br /> He laughs and says sometimes I go home and think I need a new asshole but you just keep it up, but anyway he gets things done and right because he is tough and has common sense. We have no one like that at the top of the country. <br /><br /> Under Bush I always said when things go well everyone looks good but only when things go bad to you see who four good leaders are and it is bad and sadly we still don't have any.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-18402133487476741812010-09-16T19:59:45.372-07:002010-09-16T19:59:45.372-07:00Tim I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Remember somebody had to back Obama and judging by his response to the Gulf oil spill (funny how now the oil is nearly gone when we know it's not) and the quick disappearance of a public option in the health care bill.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-81519712316230520602010-09-16T16:17:35.380-07:002010-09-16T16:17:35.380-07:00Jim, I didn't know any of this.

The way this ends is what concerns me.

This has nothing to do with religion or politics or ideologies. This is purely economics. Iraq has oil and Saddam was our best bud for many years until he decided to do deals with Russia and China and cut us out. It's also why we overthrew Iran's leader and installed the Sha. With Afghanistan it's about the minerals and finding a dictator who can keep everyone in line.<br />In short this is world corporate wars and we're the cops. Only at this point I don't know if we're the good cops or the bad ones.Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-55851929448867212002010-09-16T09:16:10.642-07:002010-09-16T09:16:10.642-07:00Hi Zhann!

They are training and paying the Taliban to kill us in response to our trying to lord over them. I agree with you we must walk away and now but we aren't that smart. The asses in charge are bent on the US joining Afghanistan's graveyard of Nations.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-3120877226689051812010-09-16T07:29:33.780-07:002010-09-16T07:29:33.780-07:00I am not sure how the US will unite with Iran on a...I am not sure how the US will unite with Iran on any issue given the current political climate. While we may share a common enemy on paper, its important to remember that from Iran's point of view, my enemy's enemy is my friend ... we did the same thing when Russia invaded, as you well know.<br /><br />The only hope we have in Afghanistan is to simply walk away. There is no way to win, we are merely delaying the inevitable. To defeat the Taliban the people of Afghanistan need to oppose them, but instead are joining them in record numbers. Our presence is the primary cause of the Taliban's success.Zhannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06956844573308107913noreply@blogger.com
