How do you destroy a guerrilla army that melts back into the population and is scattered in small bands across 200,000 square miles of some of the most remote mountains in the world without using radiation?

If 75,000 of them can gather when we’re leaving, then they could have been destroyed.

I was there. 20 years of the Taliban and AQ hiding out in Pakistan and receiving money from GCC countries and running heroine to the EU was ignored. There was no winning strategy.

“I thought Joe was under the lid after 11 AM or some such.”\

Senile Joe’s handlers knew he had to say something/anything about the disaster and maybe bloodbath in Kabul. Thanks to the WOKE as SHIT generals in charge! By blood bath I mean fleeing Americans and Brits being involved.

So fake Doc Jill and Joe’s handlers gave him a special cocktail booster shot and wheeled him out to see the press.

I’m not so sure about that. He knows he can’t put his elbow in his ass but his head resides there.

Why weren’t the Taliban destroyed? Rules of engagement.

Maybe because they weren’t the root cause of 9/11?

Whatever happens from here on is at the feet of the feckless REPUBLICANS who supported this dangerous man simply to overthrow Donald Trump.
.............................................
True that, and yet Trump made the decision to maintain ties to that disreputable political party full of haters who cannot wait to stab him in the back. Makes no sense.

We don’t fight to win and haven’t for a long time.

That is why I advise all grandchildren in my extended family to stay away from the U.S. military.

[Chinooks may be too heavy for the embassy roof. They are quite larger than the Huey's used in ‘Nam.]

Chinooks are quite versatile. This is from Afghanistan, but back when we were winning:

“..the show Lie to Me.”

I really liked that show A LOT. I was annoyed when it got cancelled. Very interesting concepts.

“Because there was no DIME pressure towards Pakistan to root out the Taliban.”

Root out! Pakistan’s ISI works with Taliban.
