Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan on Monday declared the "defeat" of the U.S. and its allies in the 13-year-old war, a day after the coalition officially marked the end of its combat mission.

And, as Heath Druzin of Stars and Stripes reports, some U.S. troops will remain in Afghanistan in what their commander describes as:

“... a non-combat mission in a combat environment.”

[MeshugeMikey]

". a non-combat mission in a combat environment.”' brilliant move OBIE!!

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yeah. They’re right. Obola surrendered. Again.
The troops were not defeated.

[hal ogen]

God help our troops who this criminal president orders to stay there.

[LibFreeUSA]

How much longer before we see this....

[navyguy]

So a bunch of stick eating, donkey molesting retards who have lost tens of thousands of their own and who are no longer in charge have declared... victory? I’m not surprised but it’s kind of funny.

[Cowboy Bob]

America wasn't defeated.

Obama cut and ran like a coward.

There is a difference.

[dfwgator]

How much longer before we see this....

In Iraq and Afghanistan.

[BitWielder1]

We were not defeated but we were ordered off the field before the game was over and forfeited.

[MeshugeMikey]

Indeed there is a difference.

remaining in such an environment...in a “non combat position”.....is just ludicrous.. it seems Suicidal By Proxy!

[Logical me]

King Obama made sure that we lost in Afghanistan.

[Ray76]

I was just thinking about that...

[MeshugeMikey]

that’s a good way of “framing” it.

so what are the New New NEW RULES of non engagement for those left holding the bag there now?

[LibFreeUSA]

That pic was from April 30, 1975 as we 'escaped' from South Vietnam as the North Vietnamese were coming in.

[PGR88]

America’s politicians lost the war, not its soldiers.

At the same time, Afghanistan is basically un-reformable, and the malign influence of Pakistan next door means that the US would have to stay there for decades to come.

[sport]

Obama knows that too.

[TADSLOS]

“Bow down to your 3rd world masters, America” - Lord Obammie.

[MeshugeMikey]

Vienam Redux? about a week...

[ilovesarah2012]

Not sure you can say we won.

[MeshugeMikey]

that He knows that WE KNOW...and doesnt care....really fries me!

[stanne]

Obama was elected twice and has a 40% approval rating

Is he really the problem?
