“If he isn’t going to fight best get the troops out of that mess.”
So, we have Van Jones, Soros and the Dems ginning up riots in the streets all over the Western world, probable ME war involving Iran and Israel, and our military pinned/occupied in Afghanistan/Pakistan in an upcoming spring there, so they would be unable to return to the US to side with conservatives. Who was it that said that radicals, Leftists/violent revolutionaries and muslims would band together against the US, liberty, and freedom? Seems to me I recall a name somewhere.
“Speaker Gingrich was indeed correct in stating those things about Afghanistan”
Newt Gingrich On Obama’s Apology: “There’s Nothing Radical Islam Can Do To Get Negative Attention From Obama”
The was one equally as good.
“Kill them ALL but SIX, and save them for pall bearers.”
Another good quote from the past. Another real good idea from the past.
No weapons outside the wire. My daughter’s boyfriend was in 25th Infantry Division. They tried to get him to re-enlist. He laughed.
Have they released the names of the two officers who were killed a few days ago?
The US and all NATO need to leave now. On the way out they should destroy ALL the infrastructure that permits Afghan to leave the country. Destroy airports, train facilities, communications, and power facilities. Clinton went a long way to doing this to the Serbs.
It was a matter of time. I never felt safe behind the wire with hadjis walking around AK47 supposedly as escort for local workers in our giving jobs to villagers to win hearts and minds.
This is the tip of the iceberg.
Countless equipment and troop belongings are being stolen on US base by local workers and the brass hushes it all the time and tell the troops to shut up, they have their relations.
So, here goes, hadji sells diamond cheap to Mayor Cell commander but then goes steal US troops, and if complaints go to Commander, troops told to shut up. THis is Obama policy.
We’re leaving.
Every Afghan can figure that out.
So, two results:
If the Taliban are to use their assets (the people they have infiltrated into Afghan army units) they have to use them now; and
Every Afghan has to think about changing sides and joining the winner (the Taliban) and get ready for their rule. That’s how the tribes survive.
I’m very concerned that entire tribes will openly turn against us as soon as we have withdrawn enough not to be able to retaliate or defend against them.
An evacuation like Saigon was chaos; but at least there were still Vietnamese army troops holding off the enemy till we got away.
Are there going to be any Afghan army troops holding off the Taliban while the last US planes lifts off from the airport?
When we get out of Afghanistan, the women there will suffer immeasurably.
And the 'feminist' left in the US will celebrate.
I know. This landlock hell hole was scary given Obama in Power. I thought/think he wants to leave us there after conceding defeat to Pakistan or something.

If going to war with Iran gets our corridors cut off by Russia in Manas and cut off by Pakistan, our soldiers are in deep.
“Now this is what a quagmire looks like Senator Kennedy!”
Deady Kennedy can’t hear you. He has smoke coming out of his ears.
This all is so hard to witness. Republicans and Democrats...whata bunch of weak, spineless wussies.
Perhaps he should apologize again?
I’m old enough to remember Vietnam vividly. This Afg. mess reminds me of Vietnam. Without going into the details, the South Vietnamese government was as corrupt as the N. When we finally left, I remember the pictures of Highway 1, the North-South (Vietnam warrior, please correct me if I’m wrong) main road was covered with rifles, ammo etc thrown away as the South ran away. Arms paid for by the American people.
Here’s a BIG SHOUT-OUT to all the Viet Nam Vets. I remember your heroism, the awful treatment you received when you returned, and vowed that I’d never stand by and let our fighting forces be treated so badly again.
You guys are great.
jayrunner, I don’t know why that posted to this thread. It’s obviously got nothing to do with this thread. Sorry.
