But that sure was a swell Halloween party Obama threw last night, wasn't it?

“Obama lost Afghanistan”. That’s what people will say years from now.

I’d bet that all the casualties and deaths started going way up when the scum changed the ROE.

The Taliban will never be fully defeated because the US isn’t willing to go all in on that hell hole.

Damn!
A negotiated peace would be fine if it were under conditions where no one doubted whose butts got whipped.
But a negotiated peace at this juncture would allow the Taleban to claim-- with a great deal of evidence-- that they humbed "the Great Satan."
That would not be a good result. I would like to believe that even Obambi can see this--but this fool has given me zero confidence in his strategic judgement.

Although this whole subject makes me queasy, I do have a couple of questions, in all honesty:
1- What exactly constitutes "winning" in Afghanistan?
2- It is a country run by tribal opium growers who are living in the seventh century. Can we really change it?
3- If we can change it, will they still put women into hefty bags and play polo with goats' heads?
I am 100% hawk and want to win the war against the muz, but these questions need to be answered. The Bear found out that they could not change Afghanistan.

They skyrocketed within weeks of the new ROE. Just a coincidence though...

Obama = Surrender Monkey.
And yes I know that isn’t politically correct!

"They skyrocketed within weeks of the new ROE. Just a coincidence though..."Just as it is only a "coincidence" that the economy started to tank just after the JACKASS party took over in 2007.

Just raise a White Flag over the Whitehouse.
Better yet, put a minaret up there.

The US fought the bear in afghanistan by proxy and won. We are fighting the global jihad there rather than here. Every "jihadi" who wants to kill an infidel now goes to afghanistan after they lost iraq. The pakistanis are, arguably, kicking al queda-taliban ass on their side of the border. Would appear that now would not be a good time for our muslim appeasing CINC to cut and run. The enemy would flood out of pakistan into afghanistan.
Don't know about the nation building thing, they've never had a nation really and as long as they adhere to a death cult that gets off on human sacrifice, well...
They have to be made "not a threat".

Disgusting behavior for a president and commander in chief.
