WTF?
Send this WH and the DC Congressional circus packing ASAP!.
Brave Sir Robin is in charge.
Hand over Arizona to Mexico so the drug lords won’t shoot up our cops there. They’ll shoot our cops 10 miles farther into America than wherever we draw the demilitarized zone. Every retreat we make just brings the terror that much farther into the belly of America.
The people in Afghanistan are going to choose to be on whichever side will keep them safe. If America isn’t that side, then no matter how “nice” we are, the people are not going to risk being our allies and turning in the bad guys to us. If we can’t kick the murderers’ asses then we’re good for nothing in the eyes of the people there. Counterinsurgency is one thing, but if you run away from every fight, you won’t earn the respect of anybody - and ESPECIALLY not the people who need you to be strong.
