This has got to be the dumbest argument the re-thugs are using, if you go by what they preach that they [ the terrorist ] want to kill us is true then what is the easiest way for them to do it, the answer is send a bunch of soldiers to a country where every terrorist within 1000 miles has got a shot at killing an American bushcos war has made there task that much easier. There are less than 180,000 soldiers combined in Afg an Iraq an how many million muslims you cannot win a ground war with numbers like this just ask Russia about there war in Afg they got there ass handed to them an our biggest mistake Viet Nam where we lost almost 60,000 of our bravest. You cannot tell a people what you think is best for them they have to decide what is best for themselves.

Guess BushCo figured we bought his argument, they would too, eh?

Surprise!!!

overextending themselves over long supply lines and distant borders is how empires traditionally fall.
