4. We're spending too much money and manpower in Afghan......   Updated at 2:24 PM
   
and in Iraq. What we really need to do is have a Marshall Plan in New Orleans and the rest of the Gulf Region.

Oh noes marshall law. I know the DUmmy really meant the Marshall plan to rebuild Germany after ww2 but how many dummies will look at that and think martial law?

Wrong again idiot.  As the link below shows...the driving forces behind a pipeline across Afghanistan are Turkey and Pakistan.  They look at it as the most cost effective way to transport valuable LNG without having to deal with India.

But again...teh DUmmies won't let the truth interfere with a good conspiracy theory

The biggest mistake our Idiots in DC have made, I dare say, is that we abandoned the Afghani's after helping them destroy the Soviets!

If we would have put forth the energy and funds in order for them to get back on their feet back then, we would not be in this situation we have ourselves in now!

Guess who pulled the funding???????????
I'm the guy your mother warned you about!

With an dilletante Democrat in the Whitehouse being stroked daily by the MSM about his infallible genius, an unbelievably venal and/or incompetent crew of Democrats running both Houses of Congress, and the Justice Department busily conducting a witch hunt to cripple our foreign intelligence and expand the Attorney General's empire, it is extremely difficult to envision it ending well at this point.

Best laugh I had today.  Thanks.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

If the US had not left the Afghanis o their own back then, the drug trade would have been sharply curtailed way back when.
