I noticed the article doesn’t correct obama that he is wrong on it being US’s longest war. They usually do this when a republican make a mistake

The man cannot see beyond the end of his nose. In the past six years, knowingly or not, he has greased the skids for the Taliban and AQ to take over Afghanistan once again. The removal of combat forces is icing on the cake for the bad guys.

What do you consider the longest war to be? The cold war with the USSR?

The Cold War was 70 years in the making.

We should have gone in, killed AQ, and left.

Nation building in Afghanistan is a losing proposition.

I cannot wait until the Chinese try it. They are about the only world power in the 100 years who haven’t tried.

You can only have peace if both or all sides want peace. Obama is not just destroying the USA, he has chosen to allow the radical Muslims to have control now. This will allow for the possible destruction of other countries and help the Global Caliphate to be realized. We WERE the world’s best hope for freedom. We are slowly being neutered to the advantage of the radical Islamists. Everywhere..

North Korea surrendered?

Oh, wait ... “President Barack Obama says ...”

Nevermind, I was confusing facts with a WH press release.

Never uses the word “victory”, ever, except in elections and polotics.

My heart aches for the spouses, children and parents of those who lost their lives or were maimed there.

My loathing of the illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist kenyan Muslim usurper requires medication.

The Korean War is still going on: North and South Korea signed an armistice agreement, but there has never been an official cease-fire ending the war.

“Wars” don’t “end” - they are won or lost.

But of course, lefties will not accept this reality.
