The U.S. has been involved in this idiotic military campaign over there for ten years. In my mind, it became "all for nothing" once we had some dope stand up in Washington and sanctimoniously proclaim that "Islam is a religion of peace."

That was a long time ago, wasn't it?

If Afghanistan is another Vietnam, then don't blame me for it. Blame the @ssholes in Washington who have pissed away thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars on a "nation-building" campaign that has now gone on longer than this country's involvement in World War I, World War II and the Korean War combined.

If Afghanistan was truly a threat to the U.S., then the place should have been a smoking ruin years ago.

“some dope stand up in Washington and sanctimoniously proclaim that “Islam is a religion of peace.””

It’s exactly like the “peace in our time” statement. It’s a diplomatic statement. You know history is going to yell at you, but it’s still the right thing to do from the diplomatic perspective.

As long as the PEOPLE know it’s bull****, that’s OK. And I think by and large, they do.
