Hillary peddles us more Afghanistan crap
No, I'm not a Hillary hater. And I'm not an Obama hater. But why the hell are we still in Afghanistan?

This morning, I began to watch "This Week" with Stephanopolis, and Hillary spent the first three minutes handing us a line of crap worthy of Dick Cheney.

I've said this before here, and I will repeat it. Afghanistan is a collection of local war lords who grow poppies for opium, pillage and plunder everything in sight, and have no regard for anything called a "central government." And "President" Hamid Khazai is a figurehead who's stolen a few "elections" (with our help?).

Al Queda is spread out world wide. They are not a centralized group of people hanging out in Afghanistan. The Taliban are some of the worst people imaginable. And for each one our army kills, three more join up with them.

Why the hell is American blood being spilled in this remote, rock-filled, mountainous place where everyone hates our guts and has no history of having ever been a civilized (or even unified) country?
