Iraq Now a Model for Al Qaeda World-wide starting in Afghanistan:
Afghanistan -- Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network is regrouping and preparing to bring Iraq-style bloodshed to Afghanistan, the defense minister said Friday, warning his country may face intense violence ahead of key legislative elections this fall.
Regardless of you feel about the war on terror, Afghanistan was a justifiable action. We really had little choice. But now it's clear that Iraq is undermining that effort. AQ is back, bin Laden and crew are alive and well and making videos, and the opium is a'flowin.
How much of a sacrifice are the BushCo supoprters willing to make for Iraq I wonder? Are they willing to reverse Bush Tax Cuts for the rich to fund it?
Are they willing to support a draft if that becomes necessary?
Are they willing to give up on Afghanistan and concentrate on Iraq if that decision comes along?
Are they willing to enlist, or tell their kids to enlist, to keep manpower levels up?
Are they willing to raise taxes to help?
On the latter, how about the dems introduce a "Support The Troops Funding" Bill which seeks to reverse the Bush tax cuts on those making over 200K a year and dedicate the revenue to our troops? How many Repubs would sign on I wonder?
What are the conditions under which they would reconsider their support?
Oddly, I can't a straight answer to any of those questions ...
