Knock out ISIS, if the people of Afghanistan want Taliban, it is no longer up to us to stop them. We need a graceful way to pull out.
Winning!
We started fighting in Afghanistan in 2001. Now 17 years later we capture a raghead capital. Ultimately we are not going to defeat the Islamists with our current strategy.
Pretty clear the ROE’s have been changed.
No one has ever tamed Afghanistan, though many have tried.
We will not tame Afghanistan no matter how long we are there.
Should never have gone in on the ground.
After 9/11, pound them from the air until nothing moves to teach them not to harbor terrorists.
Repeat as necessary.
Islam is not amenable to civilization.
We should stay out of Islamic countries.
POMPEO was just there.. “this is how we do it...”
17 years later and we are still whacking moles in mole land.
I was not in the Army so I don’t know but is it unusual to have that many Green Berets in one operation? I’ve never heard of a concentration this large of Green Berets.
Somewhere in a pilates class, Hillary is reading her Blackberry.
This is right around the area of Tora Bora, where bin Laden was holed up, just after we invaded Afghanistan - not far from the Khyber pass, South of the Jalabad/Peshawar road near the border with Pakistan.
Dead is good. Over 167 ISIS/Al Qaeda/Taliban dead is much better.
Good work. I hope none of our people were hurt.
Now this is real winning. More, please.
