(Sorry, I couldn’t resist the temptation to correct the teacher- bad student, bad.)

I have become convinced that we need to just get OUT of Afghanistan [whatever justification we had in “getting Bin Laden” evaporated years ago] but we don’t have to heap praise on the Taliban (or Vietcong in previous idiotic wars) like the Anti-War movements tend to do.

There is a fine art in politics and it is to maintain one’s principles as a direction in which to go to while massing a broad coalition with strategic compromises to get towards ones eventual goals.
Ironically, Teddy Kennedy is a good example of what to do – but in the wrong direction. We need a few people who will bring us in the direction of freedom rather than merely pissing off those with a “conservative” or “leftist” slant. Admittedly a fine delicate art.

Maximum Bingo! Wolfgang should be proud.

Meaning, if we did have the money, he would support leaving these troops in place or sending more?

I admire Mr. Schiff, but he will have to articulate his non-economic positions before he is ready to run for Senator.

And while free enterprise makes mistakes, it adjusts, adapts, learns, and corrects itself.

The whole cult of “leadership” where a small group of wise “experts” tell us how to live our lives is odious and, in the long term, unworkable.
