The video link has been posted on a thread started by LovinLife.

He added the comment, "These people don't look like they want our help............".

I couldn't agree more. Now the U.S. will find out first hand why Afghanistan is called the Graveyard of Empires.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

4. The one has nothing to do with the other.
It's still foolish beyond words to think we can tame that area; except, perhaps, if we go out for complete genocide. That would make the place very peacful.

:thumbsdown:

A few angry Americans are also caught on tape screaming about tyranny, imperialism and so forth. We call them teabaggers.

5. That's a really great comparison...
...except the teabaggers aren't being bombed, mutilated, and killed by an occupying force from a foreign power for the purpose of stealing their natural resources. Aside from that, these two groups are practically identical.

3. Can you blame them? If we lived under the hostile occupation of a 'peace' prize recipient
you can be sure that we'd be livid.

7. Hello! Bush isn't the commander in chief anymore
they're mad at Obama, who has the power to put and end to this endless, pointless war but refuses to do so.
