Afghanistan ...... "Right Track" or "Wrong Track"?
Wuddaya think? We doing the right thing? Stopping the Taliban from regaining power? Are we nation building? Is it still the pipeline? Propping up our oil puppet, Karzai?

No sound specific reason has recently been discussed regarding why we're there.

Again ..... what do you think?

2. I see some true believer thought simply asking the question was too impolite.
I hope your urethra clogs, your bladder backs up, and you explode.

4. I am totally on the fence on this one.
I don't want to see us lose anymore troops, but I also want the Taliban stopped. I would be happy if we ended the war tomorrow, but I'd be worried about leaving the situation as it is over there.
