Sorry, wrong Quagmire.
Democrats lose wars. It’s what they do. They do it on purpose.

Napalm all the poppy fields.
Oh, wait....our marines guard them. Nevermind.
Best, cheapest, most effective “anti-terror” measure we could take?
Ban anyone from approx. 20 Mid-east, North African, South Asian countries from entering the United States, even if coming via 3rd countries.
If Washington was serious, they’d freeze aid to Pakistan and threaten to arm India to the teeth if they don’t stop aiding the Taliban.
Hell, I’d invite Russia to join the ISAF, that would scare them.
Afghanistan is the only country, in the history of the world, that is so poor and disorganized that there has never been a road between its two largest cities........ until we started building one. Now, the entire roadway is “protected” by the local militia, Taliban, thieves, whatever.
We gave the Taliban a revenue source they never had before, but we call that nation building.
Afghans aspire to anarchy, fighting, and revenge. They are the most inbred people on Earth.
Yup, nation building.......
And the absolute most unbearable thing about our allied misadventure in Afghanistan and Iraq, is the shear sense of betrayal by our political leaders to our servicemen that died and were maimed in those countries.
We thought our boys were “fighting for our country” for the purpose of liberating subjugated middle easterners who would appreciate our help.
Instead we found that the muslims were a confusing corrupt bunch, who could not be trusted to fight to maintain the freedom our men died for.
We lost 5000 men, and 20,000+ more were maimed for what, slain soldier parents and crippled soldiers ask?
That sense of betrayal is so grievously wrong, it must haunt parents, and drive in some part, our veterans to take their lives, daily.
We can Never let this happen again.
islamism needs be reduced to the levels of State shinto and
nazi Germany following WWII.
The Afghans are an illiterate people barely out of the stoneage. Their economy is opium. End of!
Sorry, wrong Quagmire.
