Just don’t ever call it a s##thole country !!
Just saw 12 Strong about Afghanistan. (Beautiful scenery, excellent movie!). Why didn’t we know this story by heart, why didn’t we know there was a horse/soldier statue at the WTC site? Our news media that supposedly keeps us informed is nothing but a propaganda wing of the DMC.
Indeed, congress is full of perverts.... Oh, we were talking about tyrannical sick Afghanis.... Yeah,, right.
I thought this was an article about Hollywood.
My basic feeling is that “boots on the ground” is appropriate for Empire building but not much else.
I think we should have stayed out of WWI.
WWII, we were attacked by Japan and then Hitler declared war on us. The best Defense is a good Offense, so I won’t argue with the War in the Pacific and the War in Europe.
But if Europe explodes again over the Muslim invasion, I would want to sit that one out.
Afghanistan? If their government were supporting terrorism against the USA, I would suggest dropping 1 or 2 MOABs on their most populous city and then tell them “Knock it off”. But I don’t support boots on the ground.
No Blood for Opium!
The only way to fix Afghanistan would have been to simply clear out half the country, send the residents to Pakistan or elsewhere, and repopulate the newly empty quarters with more civilized people from elsewhere.
I guess that isn’t done anymore and probably wouldn’t be worth it anyway.
We seem to have a lot of Mexicans in the US. Maybe we can send them to Afghanistan.
>>We seem to have a lot of Mexicans in the US. Maybe we can send them to Afghanistan.<<
Actually, before we invaded them, Afghanistan offered to provide prison services for US criminals for the cost of $500 per criminal per year. Sounds like a pretty good deterrent for crime and a win-win for both countries;)
i think this article has double meaning.
Pedophiles are good Bolshekrat voters.
The Afghans just need freedom and democracy or something. Wasn’t that the line we were fed by the neocons about 12 years ago?
“Well, don’t ask me. I don’t give a damn.
Next stop’s Afghanistan....”
Sh*thole country with a sh*thole culture ...
Is not, and has never been worth one drop of American blood or one taxpayer cent.
My son-in-law was in Afghanistan 2007-08, and he said that every Thursday night the Afghan troops would head into town to molest the local boys. The American troops were ordered not to say anything or do anything about it, because it is their culture.
I’m surprised that the practice doesn’t make more American troops want to frag the Afghan troops. How can you work with and train men who absolutely disgust you? It must be very difficult.
illiterate, boy humping heroin dealers.
The richest Justice for them is having to live with one another, basically a roadless national prison without bars.
I am inclined to agree with you.
