Why Bush/Cheney & McCain are barking up the wrong tree

[SteveGrenard]

and Obama is right:

"When you look around the world, where was the largest prison escape of terrorists in the world? Afghanistan," Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said on a recent visit. "Where do people believe the fighters from Iraq are moving? Afghanistan. Where have the Al Qaeda and Taliban shown a resurgence that should catch all of our attention? It's in Afghanistan."

Well, Bushco, McCain, and Obama all want to put more boots in Afghanistan as we ease out of Iraq. So.... are you just unaware of that or what?

I just want to know how terrorists go back and forth from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bushco may be waking up to the situation in Afghanistan now, but it could've been prevented and has been building up for years as a result of the war/diversion in Iraq which
even if it was justified (which it wasn't) has been "mission accomplished" for years
now.

As recently as the start of the McCain-Obama campaign McCain has been harping on winning a war which shouldn't have ocurred in the first place and at one point saying we must win it even if we'll be there a hundred years. If we stay in Iraq a hundred years
or any longer at all, each day we neglect Afghanistan will make the enemy stronger.
Haliburton's investment in Iraq may well be one of the major reasons we haven't gotten
out of Iraq but that remains to be seen. Is Haliburton or KBR subsid in Afghanistan?
