The current Administration has built up an enemy posing. The Taliban is the new boogeyman. Actually, they are not as prevalent in Afghanistan as they are in Pakistan,
supported by the former Mushariff. Reagan originally made deals with them. The US
supported them against the Russians in their attempt to subdue Afghanistan. Does this pattern sound familiar?

The Afghan Occupation is a wasteful exercise in futility. It will become Obama's "war"
as Vietnam was L.B.J's.

There is no constructive outcome to the US incursion in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
There is no cohesive workable plan to help the citizens of either of those countries
being offered by the Administration.

I don't know anyone in their right mind who would participate in this conflict militarily.
