'Code Pink' rethinks its call for Afghanistan pullout
In Afghanistan, the US women's activist group finds that their Afghan counterparts want US troop presence – as well as more reconstruction.
When Medea Benjamin stood up in a Kabul meeting hall this weekend to ask Masooda Jalal if she would prefer more international troops or more development funds, the cofounder of US antiwar group Code Pink was hoping her fellow activist would support her call for US troop withdrawal.
She was disappointed.
Ms. Jalhal, the former Afghan minister of women, bluntly told her both were needed. "It is good for Afghanistan to have more troops – more troops committed with the aim of building peace and against war, terrorism, and security – along with other resources," she answered. "Coming together they will help with better reconstruction."

Don't ask a question if you don't know the answer if you are in court or the court of public opinion.
Hindsight is 20/20 but even before we put a single soldier on the ground I was in favor of bombing, burning and blockading. It is only because of UN ideals(and others) this nation building effort was put into play. I realize this is a harsh position but I would have rather every bridge, road, power plant, dam and major building have been destroyed and the entire population turned on itself due to the isolation caused by a naval and air blockade.
Well, now that it's a Democrat war, it's cool, no need for anti-war protests. AND THE TRUTH COMES OUT!

Landing is a lot like falling, you just land.
