Inconsistent priorities

[noise]

Concealing the use of torture

Use of drones

Continued occupation

Indefinite detention

These policies appear to increase the risk of terrorist attack and endanger soldiers. If the primary concerns are keeping the country safe and reducing risk to soldiers serving in harms way then what gives?

3. I think that is total bullshit

We don't have to continue indefinte detention. We don't have to continue occupation of Iraq, We don't have to continue ANY of those Bush* policies that are so damn detrimental to America, and we could launch an immediate investigation into those policies and if any are found to be illegal, then prosecute. That would help ease some of the stain created by Republicans upon America.

2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is we're

in Afghanistan to put the kibosh on the Taliban so as to thwart terrorist attacks.

4. I thought the current goal

was to stabilize the Afghan government which requires a rollback of the resurgent Taliban. And the drone attacks in Pakistan were intended to disrupt al Qaeda's safe haven.
