Democrats' Dilemma in Afghanistan

Ray Takeyh is a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.

And he gets an ops space in the Boston Globe.

Tell me again there is not a NWO and the AmeriKan MSM isn't pushing it.

"Vietnam’s lesson for Afghanistan" by Ray Takeyh | November 12, 2009

For too long, the haunting specter of the Vietnam has had a debilitating impact on leading Democrats. The fear of entanglement in foreign wars has led many to instinctively oppose the use of force.

Yeah, right, that is why they VOTE FOR and FUND 'EM ALL, huh?

And this guy obviously thinks George Washington was an idiot for issuing such a warning.

Yup, NOTHING to FEAR from FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS or EMPIRE, right, globalist puke?

The central lesson of Vietnam ought to be that the civilian leadership must ask probing questions before committing troops....

He STILL DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING, and THEY STILL DON'T!!!!!!

Afghanistan’s history militates against easy solutions imposed by foreigners.

Taliban I Told You So

Yup, still FAILING TO LEARN from history, I see!!!

Didn't WE just put the RUSSIANS through hell there?

Collapsed their empire, didn't it?

A country known for its tribal fragmentations, absence of credible central authority, and fiercely independent population is hardly an ideal place for America’s nation-building schemes....

The notion that Afghanistan is central to United States national security is at best a dubious proposition....

So the CFR puke KNOWS the TRUTH but he still plays the "game," huh?
