My take:

If true The O will use the incident to accelerate our withdrawal from Afghanistan. If untrue, The O will still use the incident to accelerate our withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“If true The O will use the incident to accelerate our withdrawal from Afghanistan. If untrue, The O will still use the incident to accelerate our withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

I really don’t care anymore. Just get our troops out of there.

There’s no point in our being there any longer. There’s no point in another American soldier being killed or wounded there. Nothing we do (or refrain from doing) at this point is going to “save” the Afghans from a fate they seem to -want-. Nothing we do is going to turn them from Islam.

We -might- have “turned them” from Islam, but it would have involved actions that would have been perceived on the world stage as totalitarian, draconian, and unacceptable. We weren’t willing to do that, so the results we are seeing are the predictable product of an ill-conceived mission.

There’s no logical reason to waste our blood and our time and treasure there any more. Let the Afghans rot in a mess of their own making.

That’s my opinion only.
I realize yours may be different.

We should have been out years ago. Waste of lives, money, resources. Didn’t history teach us anything?

Gosh, that would be terrible. It’s been such a worthwhile and productive ten years we’ve spent there. I was looking forward to another ten.
