Description:
Sign the petition: http://rethinkafghanistan.comPresident Obama has committed 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan. This decision raises serious questions about troops, costs, overall mission, and exit strategy. Historically, it has been Congress' duty to ask questions in the form of oversight hearings that challenge policymakers, examine military spending, and educate the public. After witnessing the absence of oversight regarding the Iraq war, we must insist Congress hold hearings on Afghanistan.Watch the first part from our full-length documentary that will serve as a driving force to help make oversight hearings a reality. Sign the petition urging oversight and tell us what questions you would ask. Sign the petition: http://rethinkafghanistan.com

Sep 14, 2011 - My brother's been fighting out in Afghanistan for the past 3yrs, regularly putting his life on the line for what he believed was an important cause.However, he's now told he has to negotiate with, train & befriend the very scumbag Taliban fighters who have been trying to kill him all this time- in the name of 'peaceful transition'. Sometimes he talks to me worryingly of his comrades defying the "coward politicians" & continuing the fight by themselves. I feel something terrible may happen.

Sep 15, 2011 - A FAIRY TALENation N accidentally killed 10 civilians. 1000 people hated Nation N for that; 10 of them used weapons. So Nation N killed that 1000 to protect itself from their hate.100,000 people hated Nation N for killing that 1000; 1000 of them used weapons. So Nation N killed that 100,000 to protect itself from their hate.1,000,000 people hated Nation N for killing that 100,000; 100,000 of them used weapons. So Nation N killed that 1,000,000 in "self-defense," accidentally killing you.

Oct 1, 2011 - "War on Terror"??????????That's like trying to get clean by jumping down the hole of a porto-potty.

Oct 1, 2011 - (Pardon me; I know that's gross. I'd like to use sparkling cotton candy creme puff words like President Obama, but desperate situations call for strong language. I realize that Political Incorrectness is not as acceptable as politely launching drones from military computers, but peace-making is not for sissies. War-making is.)

Nov 23, 2011 - There is nothing to rethink. All these wars have been for money. All US people money and the other countries' people supporting the war is going to the contractors companies pokets. If you could follow these companies you could find same politicians, businessmen, bankers and all the people who don't want these wars over. They are making millions and millions profits!!!. They show their concern but they say is too complex... yes of course!!!

Dec 13, 2011 - lets get the hell out and let pakistan and india and china controll this and if terrorist come to our country throw muslims out

Dec 26, 2011 - i am agree with you!
hunterwiley88 Says:
Dec 30, 2011 - you want to murder innocent children?? i'm sure you'll try to make the case that a five year old is equally a terrorist and muderer--that's the only way you would feel justified in asking us to nuke an ENTIRE country. Did you know that we organized a military coup in haiti and venzueula for our own political interests? and that we harbored Duvalier (of haiti) for almost a decade who was suspected of numerous human rights violations? Our hands aren't so clean.
hunterwiley88 Says:
Dec 30, 2011 - Its important to realize that there are many people who would say (and could follow through with) "NUKE and get the jobe done" about the U.S....but that would just lead to nuclear war--essentially destruction of the planet. Simplifying a complex issue with mass killings will only promote ignorance and degredation of humanity.

Jan 5, 2012 - Christians, Muslims, Jews you all believe in one and the same God of Abraham why killing each other for so long? Please stop killing all together and have a happy life under God's love for all of us. God loves us all we don't have to kill or be killed for our only God?

Jan 19, 2012 - its obvious that Americans make Afghans do the work but its for the betterness of the country. but its better than the government of Taliban - enforcing the religion Islam by force and punishing one till death, Afghanistan is already developing, and people like who give with the Taliban are in darkness, life is not only religion.

Apr 1, 2012 - the fragmented and polarized nature of Afghan society, which is made up of many different ethnic groups, has lead to its multiple internal struggles which have gained support from the different external powers.
Alaeldeen Amer Says:
Apr 18, 2012 - Americans don't know the difference between Pashtun law and Islamic law
Ahmed678ification Says:
Apr 24, 2012 - ITs not religion, its politics. Prophet Mohammad lived with Jews and Christians, infact he had them as friends. Whats happening today is all politics using the name of religion to get their goal. CIA formed Taliban and supported them, but now its their excuses to attack and get oil.
DeepSouthChannel Says:
May 2, 2012 - We Americans don't pay attention to history and it will be our downfall.

Sep 12, 2011 - What do you do when you love the world?Do you hand out creme puffs, carnations, and cotton candy compliments? Or do you meet people where they are and help them get where they wish to go?Love gives us courage to tell the truth, and truth will get our world where it needs to go.
