WOW! It's still all about oil, huh?

No, he was wrong. It isn't the withdrawal from Vietnam that is used against the US, it is the entire Vietnamese misadventure, including Kissinger's criminal bombing campaign against the friendly Lon Nol regime in Cambodia, which provided the impetus for the Khmer Rouge take-over and subsequent genocide.
When will Kissinger be accorded the full war criminal status he so richly deserves?

What else do you think it could possibly be about?
The war is about caspian sea natural gas pipelines, not terrorism.
Terrorism is just a cover story so the NeoCons, can finish executing Dick Cheneys energy policy.
"The Energy Task Force, officially the National Energy Policy Development Group, was a task force created by then-president George W. Bush during his second week in office. Vice President Dick Cheney was named chairman. This group was intended to “develop a national energy policy designed to help the private sector, and, as necessary and appropriate, State and local governments, promote dependable, affordable, and environmentally sound production and distribution of energy for the future."

The pipeline will carry liquid natural gas through Pakistan. Thats why we're in Pakstan also.
See Obama is a NeoCon, not a commie after all.
Fox News thought if they labelled him a marxist you would not notice that the 2 parties are the same.
LOL!!
Yes, it's all about oil, Andablue. That's why the US supports Israel over every other mid East country.. It's all about oil.
PS. Israel functionss as a proxy for the US and the mossad helps guard the pipelines
in occupied countries.
Thanks for the information, Kane. I really didn't suspect that at all.
Oh yes, Israel has its mitts all over this war for profit scheme.

Leiberman became a Republican , and Diane Feinstiens family has a mult million dollar security consulting gig.
Like in Michael Moore's Capitalism, A Love Story, All the senators got million dollar loans from Countrywide before it fell,because they had special access,, and were on a freinds of the CEO list for special instant approval. They didnt have to pay back the loans either.
So the congress are profiting off these schemes directly, like the one guy who owns the airport scanner company
LOL!!

Or perhaps the US isn't helping the rebels in Libya now because it's all about oil. Or should they overthrow Gadaffi because it's all about oil? You Lefties should have the inside scoop..
The Leftists know Iraq was all about oil as well, which is why gas prices in the States is selling for less than $.50 a gallon right now. Can't get anything past you guys!

You ain't too bright, Grant. Never have been. My comment was not an assertion, but an invitation for you to actually debate the issue rather than float us a few more lines of rhetoric. What is the motivation for the continuing Afghan operation? What are the aims? What are the milestones for judging whether the operation is succeeding? How are NATO assessing the situation and when will we know that they have achieved their aims?
The ongoing problem of this Afghan adventure is that no one really has an idea of what is achievable in the long term nor whether or not those goals are coming closer or receding into the distance. All tactics, no strategy.
Oh, and btw, US gas prices may be higher than $0.50 a gallon, but they are still less than half what most of the rest of the developed world is paying. We're paying $7 a gallon, the UK and France are paying over $8, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland over $9. You?
I think the main reason to be in Afghanistan now is because of the screwed up situation in Pakistan; and a ever concern that their nukes could fall in the wrong hands. If we're not in Afghanistan, then where would we be? We would have zero access to that area, because there is no other country that would give it to us. Once we're are gone, there is no going back either.
Does this statement from Karzai constitute a formal request for foreign troops to leave his country? If so, will they/should they?
It remains to be seen if this is one of the impulsive outbursts for which Mr. Karzai is known. Even if it were a formal request, I believe the U.S. should make its decision strictly based upon the U.S. national interest. If the U.S. interest is sufficiently great to justify remaining in Afghanistan, then Mr. Karzai's request should be ignored.

I'm not so sure I agree that we should remain in a foriegn country in a military manner, if that country tells us to leave.
It's the best interests of the Afghan people, as well as international security, that must take top priority, not the wishes of Mr. Karzai,
