(270) WAR: EIGHT YEARS RUNNING

Yesterday (October 7, 2009), marked the eighth anniversary of the War in Afghanistan. We have been in Afghanistan, fighting for nothing, for almost twice as long as we were involved in World War II. Another quagmire dropped on us by the brilliant United States government. First, the Russians declared war on Afghanistan. The benevolent United States provided all of the weapons for the Afghanis to resist the Russians. The Russians quit and, subsequently, the US invaded. The Afghan insurgents used the weapons we provided to kill our troops. A typical brain-dead move on the part of the United States government.

Even stranger, the al-Qaeda and the Taliban are hiding out in Pakistan, and we honor all imaginary boundaries (sometimes). Instead of blasting the holy hell out of the mob, we honor the border with Pakistan. That's great military strategy.

Meanwhile, back back at the ranch, Kate and Jon are at it again. Kate says that Jon raped the bank account, and Jon says he only took $22,000. His definition of bank-account rape is different than mine. Perhaps we can introduce these two losers to Dexter.
