Iraq Footprint Afghanistan

More From Barack Obama

We're starting with our own carbon footprint. not nothing. but much of what we're doing is already, or soon will be, little more than the standard way of doing business. we can do something that's unique, different from just any other company. we can set an example, and we can reach our audiences. our audience's carbon footprint is 10,000 times bigger than ours... that's the carbon footprint we want to conquer.

Afghanistan is a country in need. afghanistan needs to protect itself in the region; afghanistan needs to secure itself within the country. afghanistan needs to develop its forces, and afghanistan needs to provide stability to the people.
Country People Needs
Iraq at one time was actually a functioning government. it's a real state. afghanistan is not iraq. it's tribal. it's got a different - a number of different sects, never really had a solid government there running the country on any kind of a continuing basis. well, to rebuild the nation of afghanistan is going to be more difficult than rebuilding the nation of iraq.

When was the last time the united states won a war? you know, it lost in vietnam. it's lost in afghanistan. it's lost in iraq. and it will not be able to contain the situation. it is hemorrhaging. it is now - you know, of course you can continue with drone attacks, and you can continue these targeted killings, but on the ground, a situation is being created which no army - not america, not anybody - can control. and it's just, you know, a combination of such foolishness, such a lack of understanding of culture in the world.

You have to realize that, about 20,000 years ago, there was a cataclysmic event when an entire rock face collapsed and sealed off the cave. it's a completely preserved time capsule. you've got tracks of cave bears that look like they were left yesterday, and you've got the footprint of a boy who was probably eight years old next to the footprint of a wolf.

The iraq war has thrown such a heavy shadow on afghanistan that you can't hardly get any news about that now. i went to afghanistan this year and spent more time there than i did in iraq ... just 'cause they were forgotten about, and i wanted them to know that i appreciated it.

War Soldier
When that devil's bullet lodged itself inside the body of martin luther king, he had already begun an astonishing mobilization of poor, black, white, latino americans who had nothing to lose. they would challenge our government to eliminate exploitative, merciless, and war-mongering policies, nationwide, or else "tie up the country" through "means of civil disobedience." dr. king intended to organize those legions into "coercive direct actions" that would make of babylon a dysfunctional behemoth begging for relief. is it any wonder he was killed?
