I agree: the statement is contradictory, and so is our mission in Afghanistan.<br /><br />How do we expect to make Afghanistan self-sustaining in the midst of corruption, an insurgency, and the existence of an illegitimate government?<br /><br />It's almost as though the Obama administration wishes to convince its critics and the American people that it has done everything possible to achieve stability there before giving the country back to the Taliban.<br /><br />I know that this is not the outcome for which we hoped, but it will take a permanent occupation to change that scenario, and then that may not work.<br /><br />We went into Afghanistan with the wrong mission, and we're staying for all the wrong reasons.<br /><br />"BD, as far as flying goes, and PoC, I had an experience a few years ago that astounded me, IT WAS THE MOMENT, for me, that changed my outlook for ever."<br /><br />Now, you've piqued my interest.

Military solutions have limited use. At best they're quick fixes, not permanent ones.<br /><br />I pray that the American people aren't so desperate for solutions that they'll settle for a rerun of the previous decade.<br /><br />I'm planning a New Year blog entry, but here's wishing you, too, a Happy New Year!Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386976829639042251.post-56773506011476143242010-01-01T16:11:10.549-08:002010-01-01T16:11:10.549-08:00Here's a quote from an article about the CIA p...Here's a quote from an <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/Afghanistan/article6972266.ece" rel="nofollow">article</a> about the CIA people getting killed:<br />“Having CIA operatives in a PRT raises serious concerns for us,” said a senior Western official in Kabul. “We are hardly going to be encouraged to set up shop in dangerous areas if the insurgents get the message that PRTs come promising development but bring CIA agents.” The CIA operates outside the Nato military command structure in Afghanistan, reporting directly to the Pentagon. "<br /><br />Is it just me, or does this paragraph make no sense whatsoever? Let's see, a senior Western official, saying that CIA operatives raises serious concerns, in a dangerous area? More absurdity.<br /><br />BD, as far as flying goes, and PoC, I had an experience a few years ago that astounded me, IT WAS THE MOMENT, for me, that changed my outlook for ever. I felt so helpless, my privilege didn't work for people I loved, it was the most horrible experience I can think of, in terms of humiliation, fear, and also, an intense feeling of aloneness. <br /><br />I forgot to say Happy New Year!

As an Independent voter, I am sick and tired of watching the Republicans walk all over the Democrats. The Democrats need to grow a spine otherwise the Repubs will have control of Washington again.<br /><br />Based on the direction of the Repubs ideology "WANTING THEIR COUNTRY BACK", we are in DEEP trouble if the gain control again.<br /><br />Hopefully, 2010 will be the year the Democrats grow a spine and fight back. The Democrats should be embarrassed that the media is fighting the Republicans lies. If the Democrats continue to stay silent against the Repubs, they can kiss the Senate and Congressional seat good bye.<br /><br /><strong>HAPPY NEW YEAR</strong>Blinders Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109286529955936165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386976829639042251.post-2020425610398971032010-01-01T14:33:20.140-08:002010-01-01T14:33:20.140-08:00kathy, it is perplexing how the warning signs that...kathy, it is perplexing how the warning signs that were everywhere weren't noticed. The dots were so big, and so easily connected, you'd have to think nobody is minding the store.<br /><br />First, it's the couple crashing a presidential bash, then the killing of seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan, and now this terrorist, which should have been stopped before boarding a plane.<br /><br />It's as though the Intel community is being run by the enemy. <br /><br />Yes, blacks, and people of color, will bear the brunt of this, as you say. But that's been our lot for a long time. We shall endure.<br /><br />And you're right about the "latest meme," to blame Obama for all the bad things. I've been on sites where the topic of discussion wasn't political, but quickly degenerated into that. And of course, Obama caught hell for their difficulties.<br /><br />I'm not sure who's behind it, the Repubs for the obvious reasons, others who feel he's responsible for our economic woes, or those who believe that a black shouldn't be president.<br /><br />We're living in interesting times, and it will take time to sort it all out. I have a front row seat, and won't exit until I've seen the ending.Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386976829639042251.post-50269979573868161582010-01-01T10:21:36.997-08:002010-01-01T10:21:36.997-08:00Black Diaspora,

Now, I didn't know that Amsterdam had one of the most secure airports, which makes this even worse. All the flags, were ignored. It doesn't make any sense to screen more, all the flags that should have prevented this attack from happening were ignored! <br />And I have no doubt that people of color will pay the highest price in terms of searches, ect, when flying. Epic FAIL on airline security and the entire visa process. <br />Of course, the latest meme is blame President Obama for everything, you break out in pimples last night, blame Obama, a hangover from drinking too much, blame Obama, too much traffic last night on the highway, blame Obama, it's the theatre of the absurd.vanishing pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162872388532519328noreply@blogger.com
