I know how you feel about wishing i was wrong, but knowing I’m not.

BC is a strong site. Sometimes strength can become ones greatest weakness and what I asked today was as straightforward a question as can be asked about our involvement in AFG. Few had answers but nonetheless wrote, not on the thread but around the thread. Recitations of AFG history, the Taliban abounded, etc. I was as guilty asking my question.

When Tony Blair came and addressed a Joint Session of Congress he asked and answered why America needed to fight in Iraq and AFG. Something along the lines of “because at this time and place in history we are the only nation that can do the job” That was then.

I asked about where the weenie was because I have no doubt that our enemies, China,Russia,Venezuela,Cuba……the list is long, will never stop subverting our efforts to introduce “stable” western style governments on countries that are so far removed from that concept that failure once we depart their ground is preordained . Presently we are poised to lose our preeminent world position to the Chinese for the same reason Great Britain lost her empire following WWI. The twin caustic killers; debt and galloping socialism. The numbers going forward for us to get out of that debt are not possible because there is no demographic model that will get us there before we are a second tier nation. obama created our tipping point.

We can no longer sustain this nightmare of being world protector and largest debtor nation to our biggest threat, China. In WWI we had the UK in the same position. This time is no different and the results will be the same. It’s a cry’n shame.
