 :huh: If you insist.........  Not really a war is it, more of an occupation in the face of a faceless enemy, if enemy is even the right word for it, in order to secure valuable resources that are not ours to take (though Im not for one second blaming the soldiers for that nor trying to demean their work!!!).

extremists were being provided with a safe heaven in the country. training and support was also being given, im not really concerned about how we are helping the afgan people, as long as it does not turn into a failed state again and attacks can not be plotted from there. pakistain is were it is planned from as we all know.

Please tell me what these "valuable resources" you speak of are...I would like to know how many Int friends you have who can tell you whats going on out there, along side all the stuff that we as soldiers/airmen/sailors have actually seen out there.. so please.. enlighten me to what this conflict is actually about..

Since being dragged there by the Americans, we are now faced with doing it on the streets of England. The London bombings were a example of this.
