The British couldn't do it in the 19th Century. The Soviets couldn't do it in the 20th Century. Now, what has changed to make Obama and McCain think they can do it in the early 21st Century? Nothing.

Bush declared that we won in Afghanistan back in 2001. So, he invaded Iraq in 2003. In 2003, he declared "Mission Accomplished". We are still in both places and our control of Afghanistan has all but evaporated. If we shift troops to Afghanistan, our control of Iraq will all but evaporate.

Now, Bush has us in Pakistan and threatening Iran. Parents, if you have teenage children, you may want to consider getting them fitted for camouflage uniforms because the draft is becoming a "when" not "if".
