republicans Vs afghanistan

[Don Quixote]

i think that the reps will come out against the afghan war

they are already calling it bho's war...

[uscitizen]

Of course they will. We do not have a Republican president now.
But they were for it before they were against it.

but only dems are flip floppers?

I have a bit of difficulty grasping "Republican logic".

where do you get this from? so what you're saying is....obama's command of the war in afghanistan and his change in strategy from bush doesn't make it his?

lol... wait, you guys are calling Republicans flip-floppers and citizen is projecting all over the place because DQ thinks the Republicans might turn against it? And particular reason you think they might turn against it DQ? Any evidence to back up what you believe?

Barack Obama sure as hell didn't start the war in Afghanistan and I don't think he was even in Congress at the time it started. But as CIC what we do going forward is his call. So yeah as CIC you stand to be the one congratulated or criticized based on your decisions. It's as if the mere thought that something might occur where Obama might get critized turns you and citizen into little whiny teenagers (no offense DQ).

LMAO!!! That was his response? So DQ says 'I think the Republicans are going to turn against Afghanistan'. (I apologize Yurt for not including you here if you said the same thing) So I ask DQ why he believes that or if he has any evidence and that is deflecting?

Based on what DQ says citizen then starts talking about Republicans flip-flopping and were for it before they were against it and how he can't understand them all based upon DQ saying he thinks the Republicans won't support the war in Afghanistan. That is classic projection right there. And that is exactly what I responded to. Where is there any deflection in that? There isn't. You just got called out citizen and don't like it so you throw out a baseless accusation. Step up your game sir.

bush started the war with regard to his declaration of war on terrorism

bho has found it necessary to continue the war and give it the priority that it deserved

perhaps it would be best to say that it is both of their war

i saw a rep us senator on cnn saying that he would not support putting more troops into afganistan...other than mccain

i think that the reps will use the afghan war against bho even if bushco started it

sadly, i agree

seems strange what with the war on drugs and all that we have to support a nation that is the main producer of heroin/opium

[evince]

We cant just walk out of the area and leave because of the mess the area is in.

I wish we could leave but Bush screwed it up but good by ignoring the true threat in the area to go after the money maker for him and his cronies.

You can make legitimate arguments about how many troops in Afghanistan are optimal. Now if a guy is just saying it to be a hack that's one thing. You think Republicans are just going to say we should pull out of Afghanistan? Hell, not that this board is a scientific sample or anything but I haven't seen one person on the right state we should leave Afghanistan while there have been several on the left that believe we should leave now.

You are obviously entitled to your opinion I just think it happens to be way off.

if bush had kept his promise to subsidize agriculture, there would not be so many poppy fields

If we had beaten down the Taliban and then created schools , dug wells, taught them the best crops and farming technics for their area they would love us and NOT fear the Taliban.

i do not put anything past the reps at this point, but as you say it is my thought on the subject, time will tell

ps the general in charge is thought to be going to ask for 25,000 more troops...or more and the europeans have only promised their troops until after the current election:eek:

Which was the argument of many in Iraq as the other side predicted total loss, no solution, and said that we had already failed.

exactly what i was going to say....obama called for us to leave iraq in 07'....i recall some other dems supporting that as well....in fact, it wouldn't surprise me if evince made such a comment....

i find it intriguing how she is for continued military action there in part because of a nuclear pakistan....

sorry no, i caught it on cnn

personally, i think we blew it by having too few troops and not enough advisers helping the farmers regain their usual crops

afghanistan used to export food!

the war lords depend on the opium trade and are being bought off to help maintain the peace

i think we need over 50,000 more troops ASAP...like take them from iraq and tell iraq to stick it, or get off the stick

i just tried to google mccain against war in Afghanistan and no article comes up stating that. If John McCain came out and said 'I am against the war in Afghanistan and I think we need to bring our troops home immediately' I think that would definitely make the headlines. I read where he thought we needed more troops but that hardly seems like being against the war to me.

since this was a few weeks ago, either i am wrong or he changed his position

maybe it was serious criticism of the war

my main thought is that the reps will do their best to snipe at bho's handling of the war both in iraq and afghanistan

[uscitizen]

McCain changed his stance in July.
He was for the war, then against it and now he is for it again.

Fair enough. Like I said you would think if McCain switched his position to being against the Afghanistan War there would be a record of it somewhere as it would be a pretty big deal if he did. Since citizen seems to agree with you maybe he can show something where McCain switched.

Was my prediction correct? Seems like it.

Thankfully I am not the republican party. I can be right when I criticize them for nation building wars and I can still also be right when I criticize folks that say that this was a "great success" because there were more panicked escapes "than ever before" after Biden set the frikin' country on fire. That some were so desperate to escape this poop fire started by this pResident that they fell to their deaths after they tried to grip onto the outside of the airplanes as they made their panicked escape from the catastrophe.

Your prediction was wrong during the Trump years when THEY were against the war. Now it seems they have returned to being for it.

So you do know how to use the search function but somehow still can’t find any posts showing you were against the war from the start.

But based on what DQ wrote, seems you would be pro-GOP and anti-Obama right? Because your (cough) position was based on principle and not who was in office?

It's hard to imagine any task being handled more incompetently than this "withdrawal" of Quid's. It's basically a freebie as regards the OP. Anyone with a modicum of sentience understands how stupid this has been.

Getting old sucks because you can't remember anything. What board did we meet on? Was it JPP or something that morphed into JPP? Was the whole Trinity thing on JPP or a prior board? I was on the AOL Rate Bush Board. I think people like Darla and others were there who eventually came here (I believe). Unless there was a board between Rate Bush and JPP?

You know, I can't remember if you were on FullPolitics.Com or this site. If you were at FP, you will remember the epic meltdown of the site, so, you probably came directly here from AOL.
