Our candidates, blind and stupid.

There is a very old saying that has never been more true than now.
'Those who refuse to learn from the past, are condemned to repeat it'.
Both McCain and Obama are talking now about expanding the war in Afghanistan in order to win it. How quickly everyone forgets that the Russians invaded Afghanistan in 1978, got their butts kicked for ten years, then got the hell out. And remember, the Russians were pretty vicious bastards back then. They didn't fight wars by rules like we do. We are not supposed to be winning wars in Afghanistan. We are supposed to hunt and kill Osama Bin Laden and get out. If we hadn't wasted all our time and resources in Iraq, we would have had it done by now.
