Peggy Noonan is dead wrong?
When has she ever been dead right?
LOL
Peggy who? That snobbish RINO?
She looked up from her drink to call for more death.
Retake Bagram airbase, kill everyone there. Then expand out from there and kill ALL Taliban, All of them.
Peggy Noonan built her reputation writing for Reagan. That was at least 35 yrs ago. She hasn’t been right since.
Nevertheless, it is remarkable that she has been able to spin a career out of a 35 yrs (and counting) losing streak.
How could we possibly deploy 100,000 troops quickly at this point?
America needs a 100k poor boys to descend on Wash DC.
That is EXACTLY what needs to happen
the Taliban couldn’t care less about “complicating future requests for foreign aid”
Mullen, IMHO, is dead wrong. All one has to do is look at guys like Arafat to see the fortune he amassed by duping the world. All the Taliban has to do is turn all their people into victims like the PLO did the Palestinians, and the money and aid flows. And one by one, they can build up their nest eggs and head to Dubai.
And also let the opium and hash flow unabated to Mexico, with help from the Russians and Chinese, to further destroy this country.
No. Absolutely not. 20 years thousands of dead tens of thousands wounded and trillions spent is enough.
Both of the writers are wrong.
Peggy Noonan is wrong to contend that the Taliban cares about pretending to be civilized.
George Mullen is wrong to contend that sending a massive number of American soldiers back to Afghanistan is a good idea.
The thing that matters right now is to get Americans out.
It’s their country
Riiight.
100,000 troops in Afghanistan.
100k troops we can’t easily move into the country.
100k troops we can’t supply.
100k troops led by the perfumed princes that were promoted by Obama or survived Biden’s purges.
Neah.
This is already a clustereff.
Get the people out who we can. Figure out what we can do for the rest later.
20 more years of war and death. Thousands of dead American soldiers, thousands of dead Afghans. Oh yeah, that’s what the world needs.
You can’t at this point without signing the death warrants for everyone stuck.
The US can’t touch a Taliban head right now. The Taliban can cut off that airport and everything within 3 blocks. And then go door to door cutting throats.
No more Brits or French rescuing folks.
And you can’t bomb Kabul, too many hostages, too many ‘innocent civilians’.
Too late for that, but I do agree with your sentiment.
I tend to agree with you..... except I might use some of the very big bombs
I've wondered exactly the same about Bill Kristol and Max Boot. Kristol had a failed magazine which practically no one read, he's written a few books that no one buys, he gives speeches that no one attends - yet he's constantly appearing on TV and is asked his opinion. He's got to be paid and put forward by the CIA or some such organization.
No way we could.
Even if we had the capacity to do so, it would be an act of war.
Something we’re trying g to avoid, right?
They’re gonna go door to door eventually anyway.
