At least the moron could add a little style to his blundering *****. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -3/+12This man is so full of ***** someone should start a tissue fund for him!!!
- nelsonjs, on 07/25/2008, -3/+6The point is that he was wrong. Afghanistan was the first major post 9/11 conflict. Please try to pay attention.
- Waiting2awake, on 07/25/2008, -1/+3Polish and Vex, and anyone else who doesn't think that Afghanistan isn't a major conflict should tell that to the hundreds that have died, on our side alone. I am thinking it is major enough to those families. Don't you? What happened to all this supporting the troops?
- TheOtherOne135, on 07/25/2008, -0/+2Afghanistan certainly SHOULD have been major. After all, that's where the people who attacked us on 9/11 were. Excuse me - where the people who attacked us on 9/11 STILL ARE, because we pulled our guys OUT and sent them to Iraq, which wasn't involved in 9/11. . . .
- itbescott, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1Well you can't blame him. He was taking his nap during the Afghan War.
- algaeturd, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0That's where he keeps all the answers to the questions that he can't answer! He's not allowed to reach in there and grab the answers while the cameras are on! He's not a hamster1
- pentupentropy, on 07/25/2008, -1/+1McCain said something completely inaccurate? Man, I wished we could just keep Bush forever.
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/25/2008, -3/+2Afghanistan was not a major conflict.

Supporting the troops does not equal calling a conflict major. I supported our troops in Panama, was that a major conflict to you? I supported our troops in Somalia and Bosnia, were those major conflicts to you?
Grenada was major to the families of the personnel involved there, so do you echo that sentiment?
You're a ***** idiot, no two-ways about it.

Yes, is should have been major, but that doesn't change the fact that it was not prior to our invasion of Iraq. Once forces redeploy and the troop size increases, it will then grow into a major conflict. - Nicoli075, on 07/25/2008, -3/+0McCain has jowls...end of story
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -4/+1I'd hardly call the operations in Afghanistan "major". We sent in only a fraction of the troops we sent to Iraq. It was a decent-sized battle operation, but it wasn't major. Hell by your assessment, Somalia, Panama, and Grenada were major too. If it had been a "major" operation, Afghanistan wouldn't be in the same shape today that it was prior to the invasion. Opium production at an all-time high, Taliban influence doing nicely, it's almost as if we never stepped foot in the country to begin with.
Hit 100,000 troops and then we'll talk. - inactive, on 07/25/2008, -7/+4Buried for not having a point.
