Afghanistan is and from the start of our military involvement has been next to a disaster. Military leaders from the United States have said from the start that more men are needed.

About 90 % of the worlds Opium comes from Afghanistan. I cannot understand why we are attempting to support a country and its crop of Opium. Why not drop Agent Orange on the poppy fields?

Afghanistan is hopeless or did we not remember the results that the Soviet Union enjoyed in that country?
