f/u on gjn`s thread/

the question was "why the ban"?...

http://www.city-journal.org/2009/eon0303pb.html

our leftist media wants to turn our returning military dead into some kind of macabre show in order to further their anti-war stance and leftist agenda when a republican is in the whitehouse.......

these are the same people who refused to show people jumping out of buildings or those already dead on the ground after 9/11, but for a very different reason....

funny,but i can't recall split screens of the wtc attack victims and clinton playing the saxophone in february of 1993...

split screens of clinton and al qaeda`s attacks on u.s.embassies in africa...

split screens of bill clinton & al gore partying while the uss cole was attacked..

attacked in acts of war 8 times at least during 1993-2000....but the press never did their little duplicitous split screen scam on the public....

classless s.o.b.`s......if only they showed such interest when they're alive....

shameless tools....

McCain: U.S. losing Afghan war
Posted: 02:31 PM ET

The Obama administration is currently conducting a review of overall U.S. policy in Afghanistan.
WASHINGTON (CNN) ? Former GOP presidential nominee John McCain warned Wednesday that the U.S. is losing the war in Afghanistan.

The Arizona senator said that while he approved of President Barack Obama's recent decision to send 17,000 additional troops to the country, he believed an additional allied military and civilian surge would be necessary to prevent it from once again becoming an al-Qaeda safe haven.

The Obama administration is currently conducting a review of overall U.S. policy in the troubled Islamic republic.

"When you aren't winning in this kind of war, you are losing. And, in Afghanistan today, we are not winning," McCain said in remarks delivered at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based think tank.


McCain claimed that while the situation in Afghanistan is "nowhere near as dire as it was in Iraq," the number of insurgent attacks had spiked in 2008 and violence had increased over 500 percent in the past four years.

Growing portions of the country "suffer under the influence of the Taliban," he added.

McCain's comments echoed those of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who acknowledged last Friday that that the U.S. is facing a "very tough test" in Afghanistan.

"But I'm sure we will rise to the occasion the way we have many times before," Gates told a news conference in Krakow, Poland, where NATO defense ministers were meeting.

McCain said that the U.S. was winning in Afghanistan through early 2005, when some troops were withdrawn and "our integrated civil-military command structure was disassembled and replaced by a Balkanized and dysfunctional arrangement."

A Vietnam War veteran, former prisoner of war and longtime member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain said that while he knows Americans "are weary of war ? we must win (in Afghanistan). The alternative is to risk that country's return to its previous function as a terrorist sanctuary, from which al Qaeda could train and plan attacks against America."

Among other things, McCain stated that the U.S. needs to establish a larger military headquarters capable of executing "the necessary planning and coordination for a nationwide counterinsurgency campaign."

He also said current plans to expand the Afghan army from 68,000 to 134,000 troops were insufficient. He recommended expanding the Afghan army to between 160,000 and 200,000 troops.

At the same time, he said, the U.S. needs to boost the country's non-military assistance to help strengthen "its (civilian) institutions, the rule of law, and the economy in order to provide a sustainable alternative to the drug trade."

Southern Afghanistan currently provides about two-thirds of the world's opium and heroin. Over the years, those two drugs have served as a major source of revenue for the insurgency, including the Taliban.

McCain warned that, even if his recommendations are adopted, the violence in Afghanistan is "likely to get worse before it gets better. The scale of resources required to prevail will be enormous."

The timetable, he concluded, "will be measured in years, not months."

Very nice.

I'll always remember getting kicked out of a bar in downtown Seoul, Korea(shocking, I know-me getting kicked out of a bar) with 3 other GI's dancing on the tables at a bar bringing in 1994(New Years, of course) to Lee Greenwood's song.

The rest of your video was even better.

Not sure why people are scared of people honoring our fallen men and women, but it is what it is. (no offense to you personally, Weasel).

"the bunker"
would be nice if someone actually took all of 90 seconds to read the article..:rolleyes:

i`m just saying,in essence,that dead american troops should never be used as political footballs by the media.....

what they did to bush sr(not to mention the troops that made the ultimate sacrifice) was reprehensible....inexcusable...

they aren`t pawns...

what`s even more incomprehensible is the fact that the msm is so willfully ignorant of what they did,it boggles the mind...

they obviously wanted to gouge old bush in the eye....

but thankfully,now that we have ascended up to the obama era, we will have no great, fan-fared, bandying about of the war dead. ...

this will be touted as being due to "respect", but the truth is that bush is gone now, so there is no great need......
