I agree with you, our troops should be long gone from Afghanistan, especially since bin Laden and many other top al quaida leaders have been taken out - along with probably tens of thousands of Taliban, al Quaida and their sympathizers. Not much else we can do. The islamofacists will just keep waging a war of attrition, killing as many Americans as possible while caring less about their own losses. I say we out to stay only for a three month bombing session, night and day, day and night, killing as many of these murderous cockroaches as possible, and then forget about Afghanistan altogether. The Afghan people are rats, turning on our troops all the time. They don’t like Americans, so let the Taliban move back in and show them what Afghanistan will be like without us. Maybe after a year or two of mass, bloody murders perpetrated against the Afghanistan people by the Taliban and al Quaida, they’ll beg us to return, and next time actually welcome us and help us to victory. But I still think the only help we should give them is air support and satellite intelligence, no more. Let them defend themselves with NATO air support. If they truly want to rid themselves of the Taliban pigs, then NATO air supportand intelligence will be all they’ll need.
You totally understand my sentiments; our troops are worth more and the only thing they are good for are logistical support, nothing else. Withdraw, bomb them to smithereens like we did with Dresden, and then await their begging for help. Then, only then do we help, but on OUR terms and they have to adhere to the help as long as we’re there. They break the terms, we leave. No ground support though, they have to fight that.
