engelsk samfunnsfaglig afghanistan war

  • the reality of public opinion inside Afghanistan is that its residents believe we are fighting Afghanistan
  • That we, Sir, have become an occupying force.
  • this way lies Vietnam. If you liked Iraq, you'll love Afghanistan with 35,000 more troops,
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • These men are still in the belly of what President Eisenhower so rightly, so prophetically, christened the military-industrial complex.
  • You reminded them, Mr. President, that Mr. Gates works for the people of the United States of America, not the other way around. You reminded them, Mr. President, that General McChrystal is our employee, not our dictator. You've reminded them Mr. President. Now, tonight, remind yourself.
  • From the very center of a part of our nation that could lie to the public, could lie to his mother, about what really happened to Pat Tillman, from the very man who was at the operational center of that plan, comes the entire series of plans to help us supposedly find the way out of Afghanistan? We are supposed to believe General McChrystal isn't lying about Afghanistan?
  • Half of them insist we must stay in Afghanistan out of fear of not repeating Iraq, while the other half, believing Bush failed in Iraq by having too few troops, insist we must stay in Afghanistan out of fear of repeating Iraq.
  • The Afghans will be impressed by our commitment and will then take over the cost of policing themselves, even though the cost would be several times their gross national product.
  • we cannot afford this war. Nothing makes less sense to our economy than the cost of supply for 35,000 new troops. Nothing will do more to slow economic recovery.
  • we cannot afford this war. Nothing makes less sense to our status in the world
  • We cannot afford this ethically, Sir. The country has, for eight shameful years, forgotten its moral compass and its world purpose. 
  • American Exceptionalism. We are better. We know when to stop making our troops suffer, in order to make our generals happy.
  • You, Sir, called for change, for the better way, for the safety of our citizens including the citizens being wasted in war-for-the-sake-of-war, for a reasserting of our moral force.And we listened. And now you must listen. You must listen to yourself.
