If the goal/strategy isn’t to kill islamists in Afghanistan, what is it?
Strategy? In A-stan? Are you serious?
There is no strategy in A-stan. The only “strategy” is to close the last base queitly, and avoid the alarming replay of “sack the embassy” with choppers landing on the roof, taking off the last soldiers and spooks.
Kill islamists in Afghanistan and let them multiply like flies at home? Doesn’t make sense, does it?
