US goals from the time we went into Afghanistan have pretty much been met. We were never going to stay forever. Is everything perfect? no! I would like to see us stay a couple more years at least with about 100k more boots on the ground and relentlessly go after the Taliban including into the...

If we were getting our ***** kicked in Afghanistan on a daily basis as you claim. Then we would have much more then 3k dead in 10 years of war. Which is one of the lowest casualty figures in the history of warfare for such a major war and the time invlolved. The Taliban have suffered almost 10x...

Most countries would view private companies as competitors. Not realizing how private companies are more innovative and cost effective.

Actually we were asked by the Iraqi Government to speed up our withdrawl so no abandonment issues there.

Sunni Shia rivalry in Iraq goes back hundreds of years. And while Iraqi's are concerned about the future. Most are glad to see Saddam gone.

The US has met most of it's goals in both Iraq and Afghanistan. costs for both wars through 2012 is around 1.4 trillion not trillions as you claim. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL33110.pdf Iraq - Saddam was driven from power and free elections have been held. An orderly hand over of...

I'm not firing blind, did not the judge who convicted Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri end up having to flee Pakistan because of death threats? did not even other lawyers put garlands around around Qadri's neck and shower him with rose petals in court? There are Christians sitting in jail now charged...

So long as the judges in Pakistan are allowed to be influenced and threatened by the hardliners. No Judge is going to side with a Christian especially in such a public case as this.

antiwar people have always been global. protesters can influence their respective Governments but have virtually no impact on foriegn Governemnt decisions. The hardcore antiwar protesters that march and throw their medals have little public support in the US. Don't mistakenly compare the...

The anti war movement is nowhere near as large.

WAR has that effect on people no matter what country you are from. In the US It is simply more highlighted then in times past because of mass media. Also many Governments strongly discourage reporting statistics of PTSD. leaving a false impression that it is unique to US soldiers.

RT conveniently forgot to tell you that air pollution in cities around the world including London are much worse. Karachi air quality is 4x above the international standard. Go to New Delhi or Beijing and its even worse.

Unimpressive, the Vietnam War had far more protestors that did the same thing.

Doesn't matter what proof or link he would post because you would simply dismiss it as western propoganda. Saddams atrocities have been well documented in histroy. as well as the factional violence taking place in Iraq. It wasn't the US blowing up multiple car bombs in markets. It wasn't the US...

Of course they are not all concentrated directly in the south china sea. Just as China will not put all its subs in one place. But you can bet looking at the threat areas around the world. The majority will most likely be stationed in the asia region (North Korea, China). Iran would not require...

During a recent trip to Thailand I decided to take a day trip over the border into Burma at Mae Sai. I was amazed at the level of Chinese copying. 90% there was nothing but cheap chinese knock offs. And there was no shortage of people wanting to buy them.

Please enlighten us on it's stealth ability? Also enighten us on how it will find it's target without a radar to guide it.

Actually it's not to implausible since the US Navy has 43 Los Angeles class attack subs not to mention the Sea Wolf and Virginia class. Iran doesn't have much of a navy to contend with. And the confined shallow waters of the Arabian Gulf don't work well for hiding subs. What would be...

You do realize that Phillipino maritime seamen make more then thier Chinese counter parts right? Per month Captain – USD 4,500 Chief Officer – USD 3,200 2nd Officer – USD 2,500 3rd Officer – USD 2,350 Chief Engineer – USD 4,200 2nd Engineer – USD 3,200 3rd Engineer – USD 2,500...

what the guy taught is reprehensible and will be dealt with. that aside 100 nukes would not destroy the world. the US alone has detonated over 1000 nukes since 1945. The Soviets detonated even more untill the both sides signed the test ban treaty. Hundreds of those tests were above ground.
