Heard on the news tonight that the "interim Afghan government" was demanding an end to the bombing in 3 days, and that all troops leave in 6 months. Some US general asshole then announced from Dubbya's ranch in Texass that "we will decide when we'll stop bombing, and nobody else" and Dubbya says the troops will be there for a long time. I love it -- won't it be fun when the Afghans all start killing Yanks? Anybody want to bet on how long it will be before the first Americans are killed by non-Taliban Afghans?

Can you show a reference to this? Everything I read today said tribal leaders from the Paktia province were wanting the bombing to stop... I read nothing about the interim government stating it...

That "general asshole" has been the one running the compaign in afghanistan. And yes he is correct that we will be the ones to decide when the bombing stops.. After all are'nt we the ones who decided when it would start... duhhhhhh.... Again I still hav'nt seen a reference where Bush stated our troops will be there for a long time.. He did say the war on terrorism will last a long time but where did he explicitly say they would be in Afghanistan for along time?....

No it won't... But then again doubt it would go that far... There might be the individual psychopath such as yourself.. But on a whole I would say it wont happen...

It took me less than a minute to retrieve several articles with quotes from members of the interim government. Here's just one of them: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011228/ts/attack_dc_1192.html If you challenge someone to "show a reference to this" you should have at least spent a minute looking.

You haven't seen a reference? Then you haven't looked, have you? It took me another 30 seconds to find this (though I remembered it from seeing Bush's comments today in Crawford): "With operational commander Gen. Tommy Franks at his side at his Crawford, Texas, ranch, Bush said he expected U.S. forces to remain in Afghanistan ``for quite a long period of time.''" http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20011228/ts/attack_dc_1196.html --Tim May, Citizen-unit of of the once free United States " The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

I noticed that the people complaining about the bombing wore black turbans and long beards. There are a lot of folk in Afghanistan who are apt to call in airstrikes whenever they see a bunch of people with black turbans and long beards. --digsig James A.
