Sure, no problem, Steverino. Let’s give the Taliban and Al-Qaeda free reign to use the place for building up their means of wreaking global terror.
Why not? The US gives the Saudis free reign to finance global terror. Until the Saudis royals heads are on a spike, no one is serious about stopping islamic terrorism.
I don’t quite understand what we are doing there.
I understand we invaded after Sept. 11th because they were giving safe haven to Bin Laden.
we overthrew the Taliban government in short order. But why are the Taliban still around??
Can you imagine, if after World War II, there were still Nazis trying to get back into power??
Ditto, if in Japan, if they had people trying to get back in power.
Why is it, that in Afghanistan, we still see the Taliban trying to get back in, and that they still control parts of the country, and still have bases in places such as Pakistan??
If the goal was to wipe out the Taliban, we failed.
On the other hand, was the goal simply to overthrow the Taliban to get even for Sept 11th? In such case, we achieved that goal, and can leave Afghanistan to whatever fare awaits it, right???
What am I missing??How did a military action to retaliate for Sept 11th become America’s longest war in history? And what is the end game?
Baloney. That “terror hotbed” doesn’t fly anymore. We let moslems into our country wholesale. You don’t get it both ways.
Afghanistan isn’t about protecting America. Its about spending 12 billion a year and those who have their hands out for it.
And we protect the poppy crop. 95% of non medicinal opiates come from there and we have been in charge for 16 years. America is being flooded in dope addiction because of this stupid war with no winning possible.
We aren’t going to stop them!
Yep the Russians managed that well. I suggest You go over there. heh heh
