The Suffocatingly Narrow Afghanistan "Debate" - Glenn Greenwald

By Margaret Bassett

Apparently, "all options" does not mean "all options." As usual for American wars, examining "all options" means everything other than "ending the war." There's not really any point in having a Congress if its members are simply going to tell the President: "whatever decision you make, we'll support it basically."

Authors Bio:
Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.

Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
