I’m with George Will and I am a conservative with a son in the Marines. Afghanistan is corrupt and still the number one producer of poppy/heroin in the world—8 years after U.S. forces landed. Karzai’s running mate is a drug lord, his brother is a drug lord. What the heck are we doing?! The U.S. Attorney General is considering prosecuting former CIA interrogators. Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters know our rules of engagement and are killing us with that knowledge. Their base of operations is in Pakistan. We are only prolonging the pain and the cost. We will leave without victory like in Vietnam and the Afghans who helped us will be damned. Which may be why they are so reluctant to help us.
