You discount the possibility that ISIS could rise to the top.

The Taliban are ethnic and tribal, as well as purely ideological and religious. It is their turf in the end - but I have no doubt they will accept help and influence from ISIS or anyone else. Even our dear friends, the Saudis, will be in there, trying to gain influence.

that is why immigration to USA from all of South Asia must be stopped.

a broader political backlash that may endanger the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan

And what mission is that, exactly?

[donozark]

.011 per online conversion scale. Not exactly “Hiroshima type blast” as media would have us believe...

[Mariner]

Since they obviously don’t want us there, we need to get out.

Today.

Even if they DO want us there, we need to get out.

Today.

Not tomorrow.

Today.

This former president pocketed a billion dollars... and he is alive and well while running his mouth against the USA. Someone should authorize the hit and return his ill gotten gains to the US Treasury.

[Jim Noble]

All I know is, the minute the USA leaves, the Taliban are back in power

Calling Captain Obvious.

Ann Coulter was right.

The options are:

1) Invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity.
2) Make a sufficiently forceful punitive expedition against the enemy axis Riyadh-Islamabad that Islam is content to remain within its existing borders.
3) Surrender and make the United States an officially Islamic nation.

By refusing to do 1) or 2), 3) will eventually be inevitable.

[Lurker]

Not before we utterly destroy everything standing, including the people.

[Redmen4ever]

Maybe we should drop a MOAB on that corrupt SOB and confiscate the billions of dollars he and his family have in Swiss bank accounts.

[xzins]

Zero emp. Should also think about that.

This was nothing like a nuke.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

lol yeah!

[eyedigress]

ISIS said nobody was killed. What’s the big whup?

[Grampa Dave]

K probably lost a small fortune in opium production when we took out Isis.

[zerosix]

Where is that phony Afghan Karzi living and whining these days?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

"How could you permit Americans to bomb your country with a device equal to an atom bomb?" Karzai said at a public event in Kabul

Karzai is trying to play to his own crowd for his own country's politics, but the US shouldn't tolerate it - we can't allow a politician we've protected and supported like Hamid Karzai to use anti-Americanism as a political strategy.

[zerosix]

I actually know a couple of Afghan women who were kinda educated in the late '60s-'70s, left for London where they trained as hair stylists and own & run salons in the Midwest today.

Other than fighting like banshees with each other, they are not living in the 8th century

Plus, some Afghan tribes and communities use to make grand rugs!

[Gaffer]

Yet those two ladies you know are not now in that country, are they?

The loss of Afghan-anything in this world wouldn’t be missed. How many thousands of American soldiers’ lives would you be willing to trade for rugs? My count is damn near 7,000. We didn’t lose a damn thing there except American blood and treasure.

[Squantos]

Allow ?

ROTFLMAO ....

[zerosix]

Quite th contrary, they are here and are citizens,

Not justifying the murderous things that happened in Afghanistan and continue as we speak.

Just that they had a country with a monarch, long before the Taliban moved in to subjugate and murder anyone that didn't agree with their Islam extremism.

They were backward from western standards but were never into the terrorism that the country later became.

[jospehm20]

Karzai should just STFU. He is nothing but a corrupt scumbag.

[caww]

Karzi said that he didn't want us to use his nation to test out it's military capabilities.....after the Moab drop.....which immediately sided him with Isis and the Taliban. He should have been grateful ....obvious not and so he's no friend of the US...he's made his choice.
