I suggest that the US doesn't have a dog in this fight.

Did we ever? The Russians couldn't handle Afghanistan. Why did we ever think we could? What do we want with this country anyway? I never understood why we were so determined to stay in Afghanistan.

It started with the reasoning to go in and crush the Al Qeda training camps that were pumping out 10s of thousands of jihadiscum.

Then it morphed into a fight against the Pakistani ISI created and controlled Taliban.

then it morphed into “liberating Afghanistan”.

then it morphed into a “Make Afghanistan Like The OC!”

and now it has morphed into “Use US armed forces to protect our heroin profits”.

Where is Podesta going to get his pizza and hot dogs if we leave Afghanistan?
