Taliban, pick up the white courtesy cellphone......Osama calling from Paradise.

LOL “the main issues often cited by coalition leaders as markers of success in Afghanistan” [are echoed by those in the Democrat administration in regards to the redistribution of wealth in America. Similarities are also apparent in the use of the cell phones as IED triggers.]

One year after we leave it will be as though we had never been there.
I have figured out how to win the war in Afghanistan. We have been focused on manpower when we should have been focused on brainpower. And where do we get that brainpower? Well, since our admirals and generals have a combined IQ equal to a Sea Cucumber, we get university social science professors! Now, they’re not going to want to come off sabbatical in the Bahamas, so we draft them. We pay them the same as E-3 Soldiers and drop them off in the villages in Afghanistan with a copy of The Atlantic magazine. Think of how the Afghans will rejoice as they hear about queer studies and black studies and what kind of wine you should serve with the crab puffs at the faculty parties. “The professors might get killed!” Well, if they do get killed, they can always take pride in the fact that they didn’t have to use Obamacare.
