The idea that there will be bloodshed if the U.S. pulls our troops out of Afghanistan is not true. The country will go back to being Afghanistan as it has for years.

Right now, the U.S. is creating more bloodshed over nine years of a failed occupation than any other country in the region. Innocents are being killed in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Taleban will probably not become a major player in Afghanistan because there are so many other factions coming from the warlords and Karzai.

This surge propaganda is useless and it's about obtainingoil and minerals there by energy corporations. There is no logic that connects any action in Afghanistan to 911. That's baloney.

McChrystall is nuts. He is a power-hungry ideologue who wants to Christianize the world.
