You are right about Jon. He, Colbert, Bill Maher and a few others actually do a better job handling the news through comedy, because they call bullshit when it happens. CNN, MSNBC and Fox take the news of the day, put on a Dem and a Rep and let them scream talking points at each other. And if one side says something ridiculous like Obama wasn't born in the US, they treat it like a real substantial claim. Did you see the job Stewart did last week on Hannity. He got Hannity to admit to using the wrong video.
The Hannity thing was wonderful, and also saddening, because it took a freakin' comedian to say something. And thank god somebody else noticed the big news networks just scream talking points, it's as if there's no substance to anything these "Experts" say

Well its not an easy decission. If we leave soon than the Taliban has won. Only way to 'win' there is staying there for another decade or two.
But ofcourse nobody thought of that when we invaded Afghanistan in the first place
Sadly though, you can't win there. It's like trying to conquer Russia.
