The mistakes of past Administrations will not be repeated. It's time to finish our job, correctly, once and for all 🇺🇸 #Afghanistan "I will not say when we are going to attack but attack we will."

Dumping Obama's absurd rules of engagement that made victory much more difficult "Mismanagement from Washington DC does not win battles..."

Trump's tough talk on Pakistan's double-dealing is honest and refreshing. Euphemism on this is counterproductive. #Afghanistan

Calm down, noob.

You are like a one trick pony.

We get it.

You were not listening. Trump said his first impulse was to LEAVE, but that is not the hand he was dealt.

He is outlining a regional strategy—one which which involves India(new) and one which admonishes Pakistan(new).

The rules of engagement will change, and terrorists will be killed, we are not going to nation build as in Iraq.

Did I miss the "confirmed" 4,000 troop increase?

That was taking Pakistan to the world stage, giving them a dunce hat and telling them to sit the corner.

It is one thing to do that in private.

But in a world wide press conference?

That is something else and speaks volumes.

Taking a stand against terrorism ios right here with antifa communist baturds and only Black lives matter-— absolute TERRORISTS HERE!!!. We dont give a crap about Afghanistan!!


Again, you’ve been spending too much time in Romper Room.

Pres Trump has been THE ONLY ONE calling out Antifa/BLM/leftist violent groups.

Go to bed, n00b.

Anti-Trumper Brett Baier ... the first words out of his mouth are about Charlottesville, not Afghanistan. Martha “I wanna be Megyn Kelly so bad I can taste it” McCallum adds nothing (as usual).

Boy, Fox sucks. Could be worse, though... at least those morons from “The Five” aren’t doing commentary...

Terrific speech..laying out a clear mission and strategy, considering Pakistan has nukes and different roe,s. Closers to India.

NO NATION BUILDING.

.@POTUS has made the right call – this framework for action is the right thing to do for Afghanistan, the United States, and the world.

@POTUS: "Pakistan has also sheltered the same organizations that try every single day to kill our people."

As far as I'm concerned, the problem with Afghanistan is as a staging area for various Islamic extremists, and as a source for heroin.

We need to take out the poppy fields, which can be done from the air.
