This will be a huge Bush Legacy Blunder.
Losing Afghanistan at the point of total victory.
Remember when Bush in the one truly glorious phase of his reign he got together a great coalition of nations and had a plan to solid plan to crush the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Remember how starting the the Afghan 'Northern Alliance' rebels, Afghan tribes quickly rallied alongside the Coalition to overrun the Taliban and Al quaeda to send them fleeing through Tora Bora!
Remember the consolidation of most of Afghanistan with the huge refugee crisis along the Pakistan border being fixed?
Remember how success story after success story came rapidly with Afghanistan's infrastructure being strengthened, villages modernized, rural women getting more rights, children educated in new schools, Afghan army being remodelled and quickly trained to defend and attack the last Taliban holdouts?
Remember the poppy/heroin operations [that were supposedly stopped by the Taliban; but in fact they were hording heroin in stock to drive the price of heroin up]?
Remember when everyone was giddy with the successes in that arena thinking it was almost all over?
Remember when Bush suddenly lost his mind and invaded Iraq with no provokation at all?
If you remember that AND you were watching what was happening in Afghanistan the last 4 years with any interest, you'll almost want to cry -you'll see how the turning tide in Afghanistan co-related with Al quaeda's real resurgence in Pakistan while their 'distraction operatives' pulled Bush's focus deeper into Iraq.
So much achievement and sacrifices of soldiers in Afghanistan have now been reduced to the Taliban regaining control of much of the country, putting the fear of their extremism back in the locals hearts and now at the doorstep of Kabul. Oh yes, and then there's the heroin operation back in full swing supplying huge funding for Al Quaeda.

It all reminds me of thefinal fight in the movie "Million Dollar Baby".
...sigh ... you really know how to cheer a guy up!
C'mon, we're Americans! We prefer to forget about stuff. Hell, we've just now pulled all of our broadcast network correspondents from Iraq, and now you want us to think about Afghanistan??? PULEASSEEEEEE!
By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!
And a little something special for me Mae West China Plate:
And while we are on smilies, I miss this guy: ... where oh where is some help when you need him... Hopefully, he and Crazy are safe from those marauding Canadian avalanches.
For me, this past year is best summed up by this: , but next year should better!
HF, I hope you get a new computer soon. Prices sure are dropping. We need to see HF back on the battlefield!

My freaking CoD is messed up------
I tried to totally uninstall it but there's some orphan file somewhete in my pc that's not letting me do a fresh install...........
And I don't know if I'll get a new pc until the new Windows comes out - it looks good and Microsoft will make sure its user friendly seeing as they're feeling some hard times lately
HF you probably have a problem with leftover registry entries.
Here is how you remove them
1) Click Start button > Run.
2) At the prompt type: REGEDIT. The registry editor will open.
3) Click the "+" next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4) Click the "+" next to SOFTWARE.
5) Click the "+" next to ACTIVISION.
6) Right-click on the CALL OF DUTY United Offensive folder and select Delete.
7) Close the registry editor.
If that doesn't fix your problem let me know
im having an issue too.changed my keyboard about 3 weeks ago and ever since i cant play any games. when i log into cod uo for instance i can play most of a round then i get kicked,which i came to find out was from pb,so i updated many times to no avail. i think for some reason my connection is going to sleep but how do you fix that?

Next time it happens, open your console an tell me what PB message you're getting.
Something else you might try is instead of updating PB, delete the PB folder in your COD directory.
Then re-install PB from scratch.
will try ,thank you.
If you removed the registry entries and it didn't work then do this
1) Double-click the My Computer icon.
2) Double-click the C:\ drive.
3) Double-click Program Files.
4) Right-click on the Call of Duty folder and select Delete.
You may also want to remove the COD.ini file which is in your windows directory.
1) Click the Start button > Find (or Search) > Files & Folders.
2) Search your C:\ drive for a file named COD.INI.
3) The file should be located in C:\WINDOWS.
4) Delete this file.
Now the game is completely removed from your system.
