US or Russian Troops have occupied Afghanistan since 1979.

Afghanistan wins every time.

There’s only one way to deal with terrorism in that place. And it ain’t a pretty option. But it is a quick and final one.

That's not true. There was no occupation between 1989 and 2001 as there?

Recall that “Obama-got-Osama” refused to release any photos of dead Osama bin Laden because he didn’t want to “spike the football”

There were British incursions into Afghanistan before the Russians and Americans:

Afghanistan still won every time, but got to live in barbarism and violence!!!!

I’ll help them recreate the photo of the St Valentines Day Massacre.

Probably need to stage it a few hundred times.

They’ll have plenty of relatives coming in to arrive through chain immigration.

If I remember my history, the British invaded Afghanistan. The only one who survived was a doctor who was allowed to walk out because he had treated wounded on both sides. The British, some what annoyed by their defeat, sent another army in that leveled Kabul, then turned around and marched out to the tune of their bagpipes.

The Taliban would have never left the beach if they were at Iwo Jima. That is if they even made it there.

Afghanistan is a beautiful country if you take away all of the Muslims.

I wonder if our Transparent Government will tell us how much Munitions and Equipment was left behind?

Perhaps some brave Journalist will ask Carrot Top at the next Media swooning get together.

It must not be too bad living there. Everyone and their brother seems to enjoy invading them...that is until they sink trillions of units of their currency and metric tons of their own blood trying to subdue them.

All that sand and no one bothered to put it into the gas tanks and engines.

All those laptops and no one bothered to infect them with viruses or tracking devices.

My dad visited Afghanistan in the 70’s. He described it as a very pleasant experience. I don’t expect to ever see it become worth visiting anytime soon.
