MSNBC'S LAWRENCE O'DONNELL BLASTS LIZ CHENEY FOR KNOCKING PRESIDENT OBAMA FOR GOING TO DOVER AFB

Liz Cheney is a chip off the old block. She is rabble-rouser and trouble-maker and even worse than that she is IGNORANT.

Cheney went on a right wing radio show hosted by former FOX NEWS blabbermouth John Gibson and ripped into President Obama for going to Dover Air Force Base to pay his respects to military personnel lost in the Afghanistan War.

Liz Cheney's father, former VP Dick Cheney, NEVER went to Dover Air Force base and used five deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War.

O'Donnell doesn't spare any words in trashing Liz Cheney for her petty remarks about President Obama.

MEMO TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: AFGHANISTAN IS NOT WORTH THE LIFE OF ONE MORE AMERICAN: GET OUT NOW

This blogger has been blogging about the wars in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN for almost two years now and more than 300,000 people have visited my blog.

I have seen a lot and learned a lot about both conflicts.


President Obama is faced with a major decision regarding sending upwards of 40,000 more US men and women into Afghanistan.

The Republicans and all the talking heads on radio and TV want Obama to send the troops that Gen. Stanley McChrstal wants to wage the war against the Taliban.

The truth of the matter is the Republicans want more troops sent to Afghanistan so they can then say the Afghanistan war is "Obama's war."

History has always been a great teacher and when you look back at the history of wars in Afghanistan you will find Alexander The Great could not defeat the Afghans. The Britsh and Russians tried, but were also doomed to failure.

The argument put forth by the Republicans is that it is in the interest of United States security to bring down the Taliban in Afghanistan.

But is it really?

There is no such things as "winning" in Afghanistan because the country is divided into scores of tribal groups without any one group in charge of the destiny of Afghanistan.

The government of Afghanistan is in shambles and this week we learned the President of Afghanistan, Harmid Karzai's brother, is a war lord and in charge of the opium trade in Afghanistan.

Are we supposed to send our young soldiers and Marines into Afghanistan to try and beat the Taliban when in the end all we are doing is propping up the opium trade and Karzai's brother and his drug cartel?

Some military observers say it would take 10 or more years to defeat the Taliban and in the course of the battle thousands of US troops would be killed and injured.

The reason the Bush administration invaded Afghanistan was to find and kill Osama bin Laden, but that was nearly eight years ago and most people feel he has slipped across the border into Pakistan and is hiding out in the rugged mountains of that country.

The other argument the Republicans present is Afghanistan could become a training ground for Al Queda, but Al Queda is now spread out all across the mid-East and Europe and even have cells here in the United States.

The terrain of Afghanistan is a brutal place to fight a war. It is all mountains and caves and to add to the misery winter is coming to the country and our troops will be bogged down in freezing weather much like the German Army was when they tried to take Russia during World War II.

President Obama may have made a campaign pledge to continue the war in Afghanistan, but nowhere is it written he can't change his mind and decide the sacrifice of thousands of young Americans is not worth it.

President Obama: Get out NOW.

You will take some heat from the Republicans, but so what. Most of them don't have a family member in the military and they haven't got a dog in the fight.

The mainstream media provides little or no coverage of the war in Afganistan, and yet you have people from the right-wing screaming for President Obama to send more troops to Afghanistan while at the same time doing everything in their power to keep their own children out of our military.

The war in Afghanistan is a no-win situation as so many others have found dating all the way back to Alexander the Great. The British and Russians had to pullout after years of fighting in Afghanistan.

US and NATO forces in Afghanistan are in a brutal war without any real mission or exit strategy.

EUGENE ROBINSON, PULITZER PRIZE WINNING WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST, WRITES: "BRING THE TROOPS HOME."

Bring the troops home

By Eugene RobinsonTuesday, October 27, 2009

http://tinyurl.com/yfdkwtm

Barack Obama didn't set out to be a "war president," but that's what history compels him to be. The nation and the world are fortunate that he doesn't have the reckless, ready-fire-aim mentality of George W. Bush. But Afghanistan doesn't present the kind of "false choices" that Obama, by nature, habitually rejects. The choices are real and awful, and no amount of reframing and rephrasing will make them go away.

Monday's tragic events -- 14 Americans killed in helicopter crashes in Afghanistan -- remind us of the decisions Obama faces. At least he seems to recognize that he can't just let the situation drift.

But it looks as if Obama's inclination is to disappoint both hawks and doves -- and, yes, I'm consciously using Vietnam-era language. The debate over whether we stay or leave is bound to become sharper and more passionate as American casualties continue to mount.

One person who deserves no voice in that debate is Dick Cheney, who helped get us into this quagmire. By turning from Afghanistan prematurely to launch an elective, unnecessary and ill-advised invasion of Iraq, Bush and Cheney managed to transform one war we were winning into two that we were in danger of losing.

For Cheney to charge that Obama is "dithering" over sending more troops to Afghanistan, when he and Bush ignored a troop request from U.S. commanders for the better part of a year, is obscene. For Cheney to complain that Obama ought to simply accept the Bush administration's in-depth analysis of the situation in Afghanistan, rather than conduct his own careful review, is a sick joke.

NEWS ALERT: 8 US SOLDIERS KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN BOMBING

8 U.S. Troops Are Killed in Bombings in Afghanistan

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/world/asia/28afghan.html'

By ALISSA J. RUBIN
Published: October 27, 2009

KABUL, Afghanistan — Eight Americans died in combat in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, bringing October’s total to 53 and making it the deadliest month for Americans in the eight-year war. September and October were both deadlier months overall for NATO troops.

The troops, along with an Afghan civilian accompanying them, were killed in several attacks involving “multiple, complex” improvised bombs, according to a statement from the NATO-led coalition.

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousuf Ahmadi, said that Taliban in Zabul Province were responsible. He said they had blown up two armored vehicles carrying the troops. He also said that the Taliban had engaged in a fierce firefight lasting more than a half-hour with Afghan police in Zabul and killed eight officers. His report could not be verified because the American military is with-holding additional information until the families of the dead had been notified.

On Oct. 26, two incidents involving helicopter crashes resulted in the death of eleven
American troops and three drug enforcement agents, but hostile fire was almost certainly not a factor in those cases, according to a military spokesman.

The October toll of 53 American soldiers killed exceeds that of August, when 51 died, according to icasualties.org, a Web site that tracks military losses in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The United States has been increasing the number of soldiers and marines in Afghanistan and many have gone into some of the toughest areas of the country. Southern Afghanistan has been the most contested ground with both locally-based insurgents and fighters that cross the border from Pakistan.

BREAKING NEWS: US OFFICIAL QUITS IN AFGHANISTAN. FEELS US POLICY IS MAKING THINGS WORSE

Matthew Hoh, the senior U.S. civilian in Afghanistan's Zabul province, resigned in protest because he believes the American effort there is simply fueling the insurgency, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

http://tinyurl.com/yjaqs6a

Hoh, a former Marine Corps captain who also served in Iraq, wrote a four-page letter to the State Department's head of personnel in September, and his resignation became official last week."I have lost understanding of and confidence in the strategic purposes of the United States' presence in Afghanistan," he wrote in the letter.

"I have doubts and reservations about our current strategy and planned future strategy, but my resignation is based not upon how we are pursuing this war, but why and to what end."Hoh's letter caused a stir in the Obama administration, and he was hastened to meetings with senior U.S. officials in Kabul and Washington.

They praised his record of service and begged him to stay, offering him new positions in both locations. Hoh initially accepted the Washington job, but changed his mind a week later.Hoh said that his act of protest and decision to speak out were painful, even "nauseating" at times, but he was strongly motivated by the friends he had lost on the battlefield and the mental anguish he has experienced since returning home.

"I want people in Iowa, people in Arkansas, people in Arizona, to call their congressman and say, 'Listen, I don't think this is right,' " he explained, adding that he "is not some peacenik, pot-smoking hippie who wants everyone to be in love."

147 KILLED AND 721 WOUNDED IN TWIN BOMBINGS IN BAGHDAD

So much for the success of "the surge." All the bragging by the right wing and FOX NEWS about how successful "the surge" has been came crashing down around them in more ways than one when two suicide bombers killed 147 people and injured 721 others in car bombings outside of government buildings in Baghdad.

Bombings target government in Baghdad, 147 killed

By REBECCA SANTANA Associated Press Writer

Published: Monday, October 26, 2009 at 3:15 a.m. Last Modified: Monday, October 26, 2009 at 1:27 a.m.
http://www.goupstate.com/article/20091026/API/910260545

A pair of suicide car bombings Sunday devastated the heart of Iraq's capital, killing at least 147 people in the country's deadliest attack in more than two years. The bombs targeted two government buildings and called into question Iraq's ability to protect its people as U.S. forces withdraw.

The bombings show that insurgents still have the ability to launch horrific attacks even as violence has dropped dramatically in Iraq. Many fear such attacks will only increase as Iraq prepares for crucial January elections.

The dead included 35 employees at the Ministry of Justice and at least 25 staff members of the Baghdad Provincial Council, said police and medical officials speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. At least 721 people were wounded, including three American contractors.

VIOLENT VIDEO SHOWS WHAT US FORCES ARE FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN

A week after the Pakistani Taliban vowed to avenge the death of their former leader, Beitullah Mehsud, they have delivered on their promise, staging a wave of attacks across the country, and seemingly acting at will.

The latest strike saw the army being targeted once again but, as in many cases, civilians made up the majority of the more than 40 killed.

It came when a suicide bomber blew himself up in Shangla District, next to the Swat Valley.

This is a collection of 32 videos showing wounded soldiers, many of them are Canadians and from other NATO countries, who have been wounded in Afghanistan.

President Obama is weighing the possibility of sending at least 40,000 more troops to Afghanistan and the Republicans and FOX NEWS are turning up the heat on the White House to send the troops ASAP.

It doesn't make any difference to the Republicans and FOX NEWS that there is no mission in Afghanistan and our troops would be used to build infrastructure to the tune of $4 BILLION a month.

All the Republicans, FOX NEWS and the likes of Rush Limbaugh want to do is hang the Afghanistan war around the neck of President Obama and if it means the death and injury of thousands of young Americans the Republicans, FOX NEWS and Limbaugh types would consider it worth it.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney this week told a Republican gathering in New York that President Obama is "AFRAID" and "DITHERING" over sending 40,000 more troops into the grinding machine of Afghanistan.

Cheney is the last person in the world that should be calling for more troops to Afghanistan because he was "AFRAID" and "DITHERED" when it came to the Vietnam War. Cheney used SIX deferments to avoid military service during the Vietnam War and was the architect who lied to America about Saddam Hussein having WMDs and also sat on his fat butt for almost eight years as nothing was done about the war in Afghanistan.
