I'll piece this together as best I can. We invaded to kill Al Qaeda. History has shown that trying to hold Afghanistan is a fool's game so Bush left about 30,000 troops to keep the cities from falling then invaded Iraq which brought out all the "foreign fighter" terrorists into a battlefield of our choosing. We killed them in large numbers.
Enter the Junior Senator from Illinois, who ran on the platform that Afghanistan was the "good war" and Iraq was the "bad war." Once he got elected by a bunch of glassy eyed hopey-dopey addicts his staff worked to make the campaign platform a reality. They abandoned Iraq, making sure to rub everyone's noses in it on the way out the door, thus guaranteeing the failure we are watching unfold now.
They surged Afghanistan up to 100,000 troops even though the whole population was against us, the government of Afghanistan was corrupt beyond repair and the supply lines couldn't support it. We then set a dead line for withdraw, ensuring that our enemies didn't lose faith.
We built up an Afghan army that is now trained and equipped and completely unsustainable. It will flip the moment the last American chopper lifts off, thus ensuring the humiliating defeat of this generation of Americans and fulfilling the most fervent dreams of all liberals since September 2001 - creating another Vietnam.
Did I miss anything?
No, you’re pretty close I’d say. You only left out other small details such as our guys having to look the other way while our “allies” rape little boys etc. That’s ok though, all cultures are equal.
Canada is just as guilty too, we’ve been helping put the moderates out to make sure the extremes get in. Hurray to the “free” world.
