Is the US repeating Soviet mistakes in Afghanistan? Yah sure, just like the Soviets repeated British mistakes, who repeated Mughal mistakes, who repeated Alexander the Great’s, ad infinitum.
You cannot rule Afghanistan. At best you contain it.

Just wanted to get it over ‘n done w/ eh Aaron?
Franken
so close
and yet so far
Let us hope Obama gets over the urge to play Warlord in Afghanistan.
It has Bay of Pigs written all over it.
Dan should listen to the Governor of Utah. Civil Union with all the benefits of marriage but not the name is doable. Now. Don’t be a PRICK and sacrifice progress because you are more interested in winning a pissing contest with the Fundies.
@6
Isn’t Dan already mostly in support of politicians who advocate for civil unions with all the benefits of marriage instead of full marriage rights because it’s more practical to get done?
A politician playing politics? Mon dieu! Huntsman has the money behind him, so he doesn’t necessarily need his home state cash. Best of luck to him. Nice to see a Republican thinking outside the conservative box.
Could we just say to Afghanistan, ‘give us Bin Ladin and we’ll leave’?
I love Green Lake but that video made me gag.

California already does but Dan has had his panties bunched up ever since Prop 8. The Blacks and Fundies have become an obsession.
Giving citizenship in exchange for military service? Throw in a farm after the service is done, and we really are Rome.
@10 If that’s true we became Rome in 1776.
Senator Crapo took over Larry Craig’s seat, you’ve got to be kidding.
If the Republicans think that going back to the mean spirited Gingrich era is going to help them back in power so they rob the citizens of this country again, they have another think coming. And that Lindsay Graham has one of the stupidest mouths of the lot. The next election will hopefully see the R’s complete and utter rout.
Data just out that the top 400 AGI people only paid 17% of their total income. Down from 22%
Remember, service guarantees citizenship!
Would you like to know more?
I love shout outs to Rainier Valley. In a couple years, its going to look like the Back to the Future future where Biff owns a casino.
Note that while the armed robbery was reported in the RV Post, it happened up on North Beacon Hill.
That’s right, come on over to Biff’s.we’ve got the loosest sluts in town. Or is that slots? Heck, it’s probably all the same anyhow.
I love Kenny G in the morning, he’s so oooo greenlake
Q: How many ex-presidents does it take to not be president at all this month?
A: ALL OF THEM, MOTHERFUCKERS!
For example…
JAMES K. POLK WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT AT ALL THIS MONTH!
And no, I don’t feel like letting it go.
“helping the military to fill shortages in medical care, language interpretation and field intelligence analysis”
So qualified immigrants get to become full citizens with full rights because they have excellent medical, language, or analytical skills but gay/lesbian/bi servicemembers who are already citizens get stripped of their benefits and tossed out for the sake of their sexuality, thus making them not-full citizens. That certainly must make a lot of sense to the fu*#ing Pentagon but it makes no sense at all to me. Someone please explain. And no, this is not the fault of Obama, so don’t even get started on that route; they’ve been working on this plan since ol’ 43 was in charge.
