NATO may want to leave Afghanistan, but it ain't gonna happen I assure you and you know that is so. So better to dance with the Russian bear and emphasize our common interests-- this is not weak of foolish but smart.<br /><br />Not quite sure what you mean by calling " an Ace and Ace" and I agree that Israel may end up bombing Iran, but there are lots of reasons why that may also not happen. I don't know about you, but I broke my crystal ball yesterday.<br /><br />Afghanistan a Russian trap?? I do think that is a bit of a reach. The Russians left with their tail between their legs, remember? In fact there are those who say that Afghanistan caused the fall of the Soviet Union. <br /><br />As for your last point..." God help us all" I totally agree with you there.<br /><br /> Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I always appreciate hearing what others think.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600365870806305125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589915379939405874.post-68420345423937180582009-09-20T22:38:51.816-04:002009-09-20T22:38:51.816-04:00I'm sorry, but you have got to be kidding me! ...I'm sorry, but you have got to be kidding me! The only reason Obama announced this was because Russia has a big barrel pointed right down our nose while we were singing kumbahya and got caught with our pants down. In fact Hillary Clinton had to make a public announcement regarding Venezuela's new found friendship with Iran and the possibility of Mr. Nut Case Chavez receiving Nuclear know how from Iran. Are you starting to connect the pieces yet? In fact, they are strategically surrounding us milatarily and constantly making their presence known by knocking on our door. Once again, they embarrased us in front of our friends and the World. All I have to say is look at all the weapons Russia is selling to our enemies, yeah, this is what you call a good ally huh? A partner in peace right? Iran is the problem created by Russia and China. The problem with the media and our fine elected leaders is that they are still in denial. This country has been under attack by some of our so called trading partners and allies who are now setting us up for the final fall. Please, start calling an Ace an Ace. If you think Isreal is going to continue waiting for us to wake up and smell the coffee, you have another thing coming. Wake up America and get ready, for soon it will be hell in the kitchen! What we need to do is get out of Afghanistan since this is also a Russian trap. God help us all.AuthorJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823210297315211430noreply@blogger.com
