How Obama suckered the Anti-Warists
Basically it complains that he's using Newspeak to describe the same foreign policy that Bush supported.
The only problem is it then goes on to remind us of how dangerous our enemies are, and implicitly tells us how wonderful it is that we're over there spreading the goodness of democracy and depleted uranium.
It's not that the Taliban are, oh, just wonderful people or something. It's not that Sharia law is right or that the opression in Muslim countries is right. In fact, it's not even that all of the premises for the neocon agenda are wrong. It's just one premise that never gets discussed but is fundamentally flawed: that individual nations can act as the police of the world. No, they can't, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. Nobody can police the whole world, for granting such a concentration of power to such a small group of people is the antithesis of liberty; this is why non-interventionist foreign policy is so important. Because no matter how well meaning your foreign invasions are, in the end you will be treated as an occupying force.
Just apply a little bit of empathy: what if America or Britain was invaded by (let's say for argument's sake) the Chinese? They brought with them democracy, so long as you voted for certain approved candidates; they built huge military installations flying the Red flag high above your homeland; they benefited from your natural resources and patrolled your streets daily. Happy with that? Of course you are...why are the Iraqis and Afghans resisting, right?

Undebunkable Chemtrails Video That The "Debunkers" Ignore...
...and yes, Chemtrails interfere with weather
(but why they are used, no-one fully knows...)
And You Tell Me There's No Suppressed Technology?
It's another of those 'conspiracy theories' that good citizens don't notice. Imagine the standard of living if all the secret technology was released to the public...we'd be "free and independent" as JFK said! No more poverty anywhere! Can you imagine being sick enough to withhold such technology from society just to maintain your position of control? (Bearing in mind that we don't know just how much technological capability is being withheld, because, duh, it's secret.) What did Nikola Tesla really develop?
Individual Liberty? But that's "selfish"!
No, we need to look after each other voluntarily without having a government do all that at gunpoint. Sounds absurd at first but soon you realise that the reason it sounds so is because of the very unfree nature of our current existence. Envision greater possibilities! Ok, some kind of massive wake-up would be needed before this kind of free, responsible, uncontrollable society could emerge. And that's what we are seeing day by day in the world - a massive waking up of the previously enslaved masses (including myself I must add!)

While I agree with your premise, Iraq is a tad different than Afghanistan. Iraq is a homogenous society,where the latter is not.
In regards to Afghanistan,I believe we should have but one purpose, kill the taliban and then leave. Building it into a country is next to impossible the reason stated above.
It's pretty hard to kill the Taliban! Like killing the NVA and Viet Cong forty years ago, easier said than done.
Totally agree about Afghanistan's tribal nature, its people seem to only be united when there's a foreign invader.
I just think the media speaks as if leaving means defeat in some way...well we've gotta leave someday...
