U.S. senator favors permanent Afghan bases
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham tells a "startled" Eliot Spitzer that he wants U.S. bases in Afghanistan "in perpetuity."

Dan..in LAFAYETTE ..VERY GOOD POSTS TODAY
Senator Graham...let the potty-mouthed, party-lining, heathens roar. I so appreciate your not being a party-liner whereby you voice your convictions which I truly feel are with our best interests in mind! May not always agree at first but you usually convince me through your reasoning. Peggy and I send our warmest wishes for your having the merriest of Christmases and hope to see you around the block. Joe
Thanks Joe,we need more people like you. I feel the same way. YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!!
Not me,Johndro!
You bet,Pfunnie boy!!!
YABBA DABBA DOO ....BABY WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TALK ?
I am only posting once and will most likely never check back to read any replies to my post. This man must have never known the deep feeling of longing that comes along with your loved one being deployed to Afghanistan. He must not know the heavy feeling in your stomach as you watch your husband climb aboard a bus heading to the airport on his way to fight a war. Or the feeling of hopelessness knowing that no matter how badly you want to you can not run out and stop your husband from leaving to fight a war. He must not know what it feels like to wait months for a five minute phone call just to hear that your spouse is alive. He must not know the feeling of anxiety that races through your entire body every time you see a news story of a marine being killed or when you receive a knock at your door. My husband is currently fighting in the most dangerous area of Afghanistan and his unit has already lost too many men. Only four months after we were married he was forced to leave for Afghanistan. He has been there a few short months and is already a completely different person. I absolutely do not support this man's stance. I understand his reasoning but I believe that he is completely misguided in his stance. My husband and his brothers are in Afghanistan to do a job that they were assigned, not one of those men agreed to serve at a permanent base in Afghanistan. I say let our troops come home and be with their families again. I say support our own country, not another's.
JASSICA being a human being I understand your feelings and your sincerity to your country but if you knew that your husband has been sent to Afghanistan for the killing of innocent Afghans and in this meaningless war many precious lives have been lost and many on their way and in return earning just hate of the people of this region despite investing billions of dollars and loosing hundreds of lives. All these present policies of USA are in fact against USA therefore things should be seen in realistic way therefore call your husband back as this war is going to destroy USA not Afghanistan(already destroyed) and urge your Govt to utilize these billions of dollars for the welfare of Americans for some comforts in their lives. This can be the best way to serve your cou.ntry
Well said,fatavoice. Some people's ignorance is just unshakable. This obnoxious war needs to end.
Clap-trap!
Thank you,Jessica. We need people like you to vote for fools like my buddy Lindsey Graham so we can continue this war and keep as many troops as possible in Afghanistan indefinately.
Bullshine!
Who told you to make fun of my buddy Spiro? I'll put bullshine up your hinney you creep!!!
Cr@p!
Jessica.....we can understand what you say. will the superiors here our cry for our loved once? I have no one to tell mine and sitting and typing ,praying as much as I can. My son went to military too without my permission. My pressure is gone down from worrying over him and others. May lord hear our cry and bring us out from this situation. They can support Afghanistan from out side now rather than fighting inside. Afghan government and forces should handle the problem with Taliban.
Lindsey Graham is a man after my own heart. If it wasn't for the stupidity of the voters,neither one of us would have been voted into office! For us,ignorance truly is bliss!!!
First of all the pharisees had nothing to do with the Bible and second they had ruled ruthlessly by the law against the sick and poor who they thought were determined by God to be destined to be unholy and were treated as such by the pharisees. This is the reason why God came as the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary, to show the pharisees how wrong they were. Also because He was fed up with all the sacrifices the Jews were doing for the sins they committed and He was going to give Himself for the final sacrifice for everybody's sins. And without that faith your like a lost lamb or as for you a snake!
Paul who was Saul a pharisee was a reborn CHRISTIAN! He had written most of the new testament not any Pharisee! He was persecuted himself by the pharisees!
Jesus never fought against anybody and taught the things Paul also preached. Jesus was the one who turned Saul into Paul the reborn Christian! When he(Saul)was on his way to Damascus to persecute and arrest the Christians there Jesus had Blinded him for a little while and asked him why he was persecuting His followers and he then became a reborn Christian! No more did he follow the pharisees who followed the laws of God BUT HAD NO CARE FOR HUMANS THEMSELVES JUST LIKE YOURSELF!
Argue & comment all you want. Things are NOT going to change until WE wake up and take control of our "elected children" & the MIC, and FORCE them to stop this mess! Obviously Graham has some interest in the war to continue, or he is mentally unstable! With ALL the problems Americans have right now we do not need to even be thinking about building any military bases, anywhere, let alone in countries that do not want us there!
Extremely well put,ronvan. Thank you.
I totally agree. Thank you both.
Echo!
Hardy,har,har,har......
ronvan..agree .
Cut the mumbo-jumbo,DUBBYA. You know better than that!
Tripe!
Hey Pfunnie boy,SHUT UP!!!!!
No!
Why not???
Daniel-2!!
INDEED VERY SORRY FOR BLOCKING MY COMMENTS. THIS I DID NOT EXPECT AT LEAST FROM CNN.
I totally agree with you,BANGASH. What makes me angry is that this bozo who keeps on blogging his sick jokes about this obnoxious war under my name,although having been reported over and over again to CNN,continues to blog in here. What I am saying is,if they don't censor this sicko why should they censor anyboby else???
Think you're mad,Bledsoe? Not half as mad as I am. That same creep you're talking about called me a Communist in a previous post and I don't take that from anybody. If I ever run across this bozo,I'll have him laughing out of his derriere!!!
Hilarious!
Right atal,Sen.Lindsey Graham is certainly that and so are the people who vote for him.
You are all like a bunch of gossiping old women.
Fishwives!
Hey,you're the creep who called me a Communist in your previous post,blogging under the name of Bledsoe. If I ever run across you,I'll have you laughing out your other end you yellow creep!!!
Hey fake Sanity, stop using my name, make up your own.
Falsie!
WHY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS DENIED SOME TIME ON THIS AUGUST FORUM?
Dont be so pretentious, this is CNN not a speech on the lawn at the white house.
360 COW MAMA DUNG
ha ha
If need be to keep your fanatical Muslim brothers under control so be it. What are friends for?
True friendship is one that is willing to give his life to save another, your cult of 360 degrees just takes lives not caring about who they are, just as long as they are not part of your cult!
What are you saying now? God is Jesus? Do you change as the wind blows?
Any group of people that uses any religious metaphors but includes any crimes, such as suicide bombings or killings of any kind is called a cult!
That's OK when the time comes and you cry out to HIM HE will tell you go away I never knew you! He said that He and the Father are one and He is the Holy Spirit! Without His resurrection the Holy Spirit could not come and help His followers during the early days of the Christians right after his ascension to heaven! You can make up all the lies about Jesus and who he was but as He said you shall know! And trying to call Muhammad the comforter when all that Islam has done was to create wars even between your Muslim brothers is just as bad as calling bin Laden a peace maker!
Lindsey Graham,you're my man.YABBA-DABBA-DABBA-DABBA-DABBA-DOO!!!!!!
Can you cut the right-wing mumbo-jumbo? It gets awfully old!
This Senator Lindsey Graham turns my stomach upside down but at least he pulls no punches about our occupying Afghanistan and why we're over there.
Hog-wash!
Hardy,har,har,har.....
I wish to kingdom come that both of you would just shut up since neither one of you are funny!
Comedic!
That's funny,I thought that this post was supposed to be about me,not some comedy contest.Gee Whiz!
Sorry Lindsey,it appears that a couple of jerks dicided to usurp this post for their personal amusement. But you can still express your right-mumbo-jumbo whenever you lke although I strongly disagree with it!
My apologies again,Lindsey. I meant to say right-wing mumbo-jumbo instead right-mumbo-jumbo since you're wrong about everything anyway. Of course we shouldn't keeps troops in Afghanstan since we had no business sending them there in the fist place!!!
Of course Lindsey,Dan is right and anybody with half a brain would know it. Our troops don't belong in Afghanistan,period!!!
Idiot-sandwich!
Hardy,har,har,har.........
Here we go again!!!
Daniel-2!
