Brandon, I saw Darkstar over the weekend and he told me the great news. I had to come back and log on just to share in your joy, it gave me chills. Congratulations! Welcome Home!

Sure Alvin I will just as soon as you call them out on ad hominem attacks. I think it's time to stay good bye to UT. This is ridiculous. I have been trying to stick to the damn subject throughout this thread and others. I get back responses all about Mot, made up bullshit about my positions...

Duly noted, you've got no links. Thanks for trying. BTW- Ad Hom attacks are not proof of your argument in any way, shape or form. Perhaps it's time to put you on ignore as others recommended. I'll give you one more chance.

True my friend. Democracy doesn't seem come from the end of a gun pointed at you or because your country was invaded and they force it on you. It has to come from within. Let's hope Afghanistan manages to do it.

My references are from the articles I have posted including and especially the one where our own military admitted the power of the Taliban is still very real and very strong. It's ok to admit you have no real proof and it's just your opinion. I accept that. I amrunning on my opinion based on...

I think Harper sees the writing on the political wall. I am actually proud of him for stating the reality and that there really is no plan to leave Afghanistan to the Afghans. Obama would be eviscerated in the US by the right and the media for making a similar statement.

Not once have I advocated for pulling out, despite the efforts of a particular person to paint me as saying so, including making up a pacifist BS about me. Nor have I advocated for allowing the Taliban to rule, my point has been that the Taliban still rule despite 7 years of our efforts there...

What source are you using to make this statement. I would like to read it. I am using mainstream media and articles like Urbandreamer provided to determine they are just as powerful. Now it seems they are back in Kabul, which was our strong hold.

It is important because if he is not going to get be told to stop thinking for others and taking everything opponents say out of context, then the only option is to ignore him. Either that or do what others recommended doing, don't join in any threads he is on. I think ignore is better...

I'd like to put (SOMEONE) on an ignore list, how do I it?

I am going to give you the same response I have said all along. After 7 long years the Taliban is as powerful as ever. Our military presence has not stemmed the tide of their religious zealotry. Why would you find it odd that I am critical of a strategy that is not working to end the religious...

You have a knack for distortion, mischaracterization, taking things out of context (on purpose) Your responses to my rebuttals are complete fabrications of anything I have said and you've continued this practice after I showed you where you lied, then you went scrounging through the archives...

It's exactly why churches are all over this city. Preaching to the converted. It's not surprising like minded people enjoy sharing each others thoughts.

As usual you have no idea what you are talking about. I work with dozens of couples in the process and read about hundreds more from online tracking and it has slowed considerably since Harper and his cronies decided to pick the chosen few.

So Jade, Alvin and I are all building strawmen arugments according to you. I think you might need to understand the definition of a strawman argument before tossing it around at everyone you don't agree with. Simple disagreement does not a strawman make. You must prove intentional...

i believe militaries aren't necessarily the right way to build or rather re-build a nation. Militaries are trained to fight and kill and they do this very well. Basic training in the US military entails breaking the soldier down and building them back up to dehumanize the enemy. To kill on...

The "Folks" are telling the leadership after 7 years the strategy has done very little to help with the Taliban complaints. The Taliban still firmly hold their control. So we're supposed to trust the judgement of the very people who've done a bad job from the start. You say we are helping...

You are exactly right. Harper and his team are causing so much trouble with the immigration process. When we applied we got our AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) in 30 days. Those coming after us tell me it's taking 6 months or more to get it, the AOR is simply a case number saying you iare...

Yes you are mischaracterizing and actually either lying deliberatly or lack adult reading skills, because I've never claimed military action is not necessary. Please cut and paste where I said I want us to "rampage" in the Sudan. I bet you can't. You are wrong on all counts I am sick and...

Please take the time to read my posts and tell me exactly where I said any of those things.
