Time to leave. And build bridges instead of burning them.
The Taliban had nothing to do with 9/11
So why do we call them terrorists and blame them?

No thanks. Supporting the Taliban is unacceptable. We will have done no good for Afghanistan if we do that. We do need to leave Afghanistan but lets do it with dignity. I have no interest in propping up the Taliban before we go.
We should leave Afghanistan with dignity. Supporting the Taliban will prevent us from doing that.
The Taliban are the only group that has the ability to bring stability to Afghanistan.
We need to support the Taliban in order to keep the country from falling into anarchy after we leave.

We should kill them all...
I'm not as worried about Afghanistan as I am with Iraq..
Saddam is gone and its a new chapter...
shortly after 9/11 the taliban offered to arrest osama bin laden and extradite him to a party country for trial.
Bush refused the offer.
After all these years and the Taliban is still THE major force within Afghanistan. Why is that?
Remember, even inside the old USSR and inside Modern China, still religion has a foothold. The Taliban in Afghanistan is their state church. You can't stomp it out unless you kill everyone.
Many Republicans believe (they believe so many odd and strange things) that the Taliban was part of the WTC Terrorist attack because they wouldn't give up al Qaeda. But we now know in their culture, you can't "turn over" an honored guest once you have accepted them into your home. And remember, al Qaeda fought with the Taliban against Soviet Incursion. They were most certainly "honored guests".
Republicans, even if they cared, don't understand this. Remember, John McCain didn't even know the difference between Sunni and Shiite. Add in the Republicans complete lack of understanding in this country of anyone other than a white conservative and you have a recipe for disaster.
Obama is going to have to cut a deal with the Taliban. There is not a shred of evidence that the Taliban had a hand in 9/11. Considering where all the bombers came from, the US is probably looking in the wrong country.
Hopefully, Obama will be re-elected. We need a president who will get this country out of Afghanistan and you know that no Republican will do that. Republicans see foreign wars as highly profitable ways to make lots of money. And we only lose a few poor kids so it's a "Win-Win". Money to people already rich versus the cost of the lives of a few poor kids. Eliminate abortion laws and they can be replaced easily enough.
We will be stuck there until after the presidential elections because Republicans will never, ever allow peace between the US and the Taliban. They would say Obama is friends with terrorists and that's the proof.
Remember, the generals told us Gitmo was a "recruiting tool" for al Qaeda. Republicans say that if you close Gitmo you will have to release terrorists onto the streets and into backyards as if they never heard of "maximum security prisons" before. So sick of this "willful ignorance".
Republicans know this and fought to keep it open even though it threatens the lives of young patriotic American soldiers. They don't care. It's all about getting the black guy out of the WHITE House. If they can't control the country, they will see it destroyed. Like a dog guarding a pile of hay, their natural instinct is to keep others from using it even when they have no use for it.

I am no Ron Paul supporter but what do you really expect Ron Paul to do? Pay for his medical bills. Do a fund raiser?? It is not Ron Pauls responsibility to pay for anything.geez, rdean. you are sounding a lot like ron paul. why don't you just vote for him? You know he will end this foreign conundrum.
Ron Paul is a terrible person. His campaign manager from the last election raised tens of millions of dollars for Paul, but when he got cancer, he was uninsured and ended up owing over $400,000.00 and Paul did nothing to help him.
The irony is that if the guy had lived a little longer, Obamacare might have saved him.
