Bravo to Ann Coulter for calling on neo-commies like Bill Kristol to STFU with regards to Micheal Steel's comments on Afghanistan. RNC Chairman Michael Steel said that America had every right to dispatch the al- Queda presence in Afghanistan, but that it was crazy to bog American troops down in a no-win situation in Afghanistan. The unruly Afghans could not be subdued by the Brits or Soviets. More importantly, our real enemy -- al-Queda -- has moved on to Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia. It's absolutely foolish to continue to waste American lives and money in Afghanistan. We can accomplish our continued goals there by bribing a handful of warlords, using a fraction of the money and American lives that we'll spend on Obama's direct military action. We did it with Egypt -- bribing them to make nice with Israel. Over the last 30 years, the amount of money we spent on Egypt to achieve some amount of peace in the middle is tiny compared to what we've spent on Afghanistan in the last few years. It's about time that real conservatives stand up to the big government neo- commies in the GOP and their demented foreign policy (not to mention their crazy "government greatness" philosophy at home). BRAVO to Ann Coulter for joining (and given her position, leading) the growing conservative dissent to the neo-commies war mongering foreign policy. I am more encouraged than ever that we are heading for real, positive change. Thank you Ann.

Perhaps Ann hasn't noticed, but Afghanistan isn't Egypt, and its always easier to brib a people into doing what they want to do anyway.
The Afghan warlords are much easier to bribe than the Egyptian government. Regardless, al-Qaeda is largely gone from Afghanistan and dispersed to Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and many other countries. al-Qaeda is not a state with a defined border like Germany or Japan were during WWII, yet this is exactly how the brain-dead U.S. government is trying to fight them. That uninformed policy is doomed to fail.
The Egyptian government admired and wanted to be aliened with the US. The Egyptian people really didn't give a damn if Israel existed or not - certainly not enough to war with them. Regardless, al-Qaeda is largely gone from Afghanistan and dispersed to Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and many other countries. and Pakistan has nukes.
Yeah sure, which is why 15 of the 19 9/11 suicide terrorists were from Egypt. The Egyptian government has a very difficult task. Make no mistake, if it weren't for America's $2 BILLION a year, that whole country could be in hands of the Muslim Brotherhood. $2 BILLION a year is POCKET CHANGE compared to what we've spent on Afghanistan and Iran.

You're not a geography aficionado, are you?
They weren't. They were from Saudi Arabia. AND,the World Trade Tower and the Pentagram are both in America,not Israel.
So you say, but that don't make it so.
