And to think how Trump tried to remove us from Afghanistan, and every freaking politician, et al., went apoplectic over it.

Now, not a word nor whimper.

Way back a couple decades ago we were allied with the Northern Alliance and could have stuffed the talibunnies along with BenLaden for good. Instead, this.
