Dang, I missed. ;)

Actually, I think you're spot-on. The only thing that really seems clear is that we've put a lot of troops and money into the war. :-?

Slightly off topic:

Interesting fact all the purple hearts awarded since the end of WWII were minted (is that the word?) for Operation Downfall the Allied invasion of Japan.

When I think of all the US fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan I can't help but remember that fact.

Know matter how many leaders get taken out, there's always another one to step right in.

The corresponding answers after that are:

By the Presidential popularity ratings.

When the US people realise there ain't much point being there any more and kick up enough fuss for the President to pull the troops out.
I already agreed with Platapu's questions in another thread, but your answers 1 and 2 are very good (="realistic") answers indeed. with 3 I do not agree since I tend nto think the people have not much to say in this anyway and right now a majority of people maybe already think it all is pointless right now.

:yeah:

My point being they are not kicking up enough of a fuss yet for the people who decided these things to decide otherwise.

Point three will more than likely come at the next presidential campaign....the closer the race the more likely one of the candidates will announce a definitive timescale to win thaose few extra states.

There might even come a time when enough of us get fed up and start protesting again. Hard for me to tell how likely that would be, though.

I'm not sure whether to believe it. When this kind of good news comes along I usually get a sense that something isn't going right. :hmmm:

Nöö... :)

Fairness demands me to admit that the joke was inspired by a cartoon I read some days ago.

After your bombing run I think I saw August laying on his bedroom floor half naked staring up at the ceiling fan. Then someone down the hall shut off their 'Doors' album and he seemed to snap out of it... :O:

You might want to be more careful with that napalm Krashkart... :03:
