  2. Afghanistan was conquered by the predecessors to Mughuls, Alexander, the White Huns, the Turks, Ghenghis Khan, Tamerlane and many others.

    Afghanistan is conquerable.

    The Soviets nearly conquered Afghanistan also.

  3. Yes they all made incursions into Afghanistan and yet.....? "The Soviets nearly conquered Afghanistan also." and without the involvement of the US they might have. Now it is the turn of the USA to not conquer Afghanistan.

  4. "Now it is the turn of the USA to not conquer Afghanistan."

    The U.S. is not trying to conquer Afghanistan. If we did, it would have been conquered.

    The U.S. is trying to set up a government and society that will not harbor the likes of Al Qaeda.

    Maybe that is a hard concept for a Leftist to understand.

  5. Ghenghis Khan conquered Afghansitan and nearly a 1,000 years later the Hazara remain.

    Alexander conquered Afghanistan, founded cities, and the Greeks rules for 180 years.

    Maybe Bobby H should crack a history book sometime.

  6. "The U.S. is trying to set up a government and society that will not harbor the likes of Al Qaeda."

    And has failed miserably, but then you just have to look a the homeland to see why. The US is not in Afghanistan to help the Afghans anon. It is about Russia and pipelines. That is what American soldiers over there are dying for.

  7. Bob,

    "It is about Russia and pipelines. "

    You are such a loser.

    Name the pipeline and how the profits of the pipeline exceed what we put into Afghanistan.

    Explain how the pipeline is a more obvious cause than say the attacks on 911.

    Find a shrink. You need one.
