      So who is a Narcoterrorist?

      FARC, ELN, Hamas, Taliban, AUC in Colombia and PCP-SL in Peru.

      Let's give all the narcoterrorists a seat at the table and not just the Taliban.

      Then we will have more content for Mob Week over on AMC.

      How do we leave Afghanistan?

      Dexter told us it is a giant criminal enterprise.

      So we establish a rule of law.

      That won't happen so everyone gets an assault rifle and a clip that holds a hundred rounds.

      May the best man win.

      At the end we are thrown an answer about Iraq without a US presence.

      The Embassy of the United States in Baghdad is the largest and most expensive of any embassy in the world.

      At 440,000 square meters it is nearly as large as Vatican City.[1]

      It also employs 15,000 people and cost $750 million to build.

      Yes, we are barely there.

      What about the 2012 election here? Do you suppose most of the ppl around Romney will want to pull out of Afghanistan or anywhere else? Crocker actually said we had to force the Taliban to sue for peace one at a time. In fact, these two sound more like Richard Nixon than George McGovern, tho particularly, of course, Hadley. If you suppose that nationalism is a product of religious views very like neocons hold, we may as well have stuck with the Baath party, and in Syria as well. I presume Pakistan re-opened the roads so we could leave.
