Terry Gain:

History has shown al Qaeada kicked out of Afghanistan

LOL … ‘ya think? Ambassador Crocker didn’t seem to think so; and McCain confuses everything since he sees trouble on the “Iraq-Pakistan border” [sic] …

throughout it all, not one terrorist attack on the homeland

maybe that’s on account of TSA not letting you bring your lipstick on board the plane

And all of this accomplished despite a nation under attack from within

so …. Mission Accomplished this time? any particular reason why McCain thinks we might be sticking around for 100 years? any reason why Iraq is banking tens of billions instead of paying for their own reconstruction, or at least making a contribution here and there? all WHAT accomplished?

we sure have come a long way down from victory in WW2 to crowing about the suppression of insurgents by force in a two-bit country
