Actually, seems like the terorists may very well be in the process of winning, Sawz...

Look at the intolerance and violence being preached by the right wing in this country... This is exactly what the Taliban does... What, are you confused enough to think of the Taliban as being leftists??? If so, you need to spend more time reading up on what they believe and what they are willing to do to impose thier beliefs on the general population... Not all that unlike what I have seen from your side right here in the "land of the free"...

Land of the free, my butt!!! Land of the the loudest and most bullying... Ain't nothin' free about that at all... This is right outta the Taliban playbook...

As for my assessment on "The Surge"??? That's what it was... It wasn't this bullshit that the ignorant Tea Party people think it was but, hey, they are so barinwashed that I'd bet that 80% of them still think that Saddam was hooked up with al qeada... Okay, maybe 90%... Shoot, Sawz, I ain't too sure that you don't believe that... I donno...
