I, for one, welcome the Afghan Papers and thank Wiki
Now, at last, the nation might finally enter into an honest dialog about how we got outselves into two wars, what on earth we are doing in Afghanistan, and possibly even how it is that we have spend billions of dollars supporting those who would destroy us. This is the first time since the "Pentagon Papers" of the Viet Nam war, my war, that the nation will be forced to take a deep look at itself. All I can say is its about time.

1. There is a timeline and plan
all that will happen if Democrats abandon their President early is we will get slaughtered at the polls, then the war will certainly continue.

2. Reporting during the Viet Nam era was much more honest than
it is now.Which is a real eye opener when you consider how much we didn't know about the war in Viet Nam. Perhaps it will force the media to report actual news instead of watered down pap.

3. even a cursory glance at the stuff on the site reveals what monumental clusterfuck the afghan
occupation is.

anybody that still believes there's something to be won there, or that the afghan people want us there, is simply delusional.
