I heard a retired general tell us why on Varney this morning. Afghanistan is now a forward military base for that whole region. Centered between Iran Pakistan India China Russia. We are also allying with India as part of the plan. No nation building, just prevent the exportation of jihad from Afghanistan and project regional power. We will be there pretty much forever, as in Germany Japan and Korea according to the general (Ret).
A winning strategy if American lives and American money grew on trees. These empire builders seem to forget that there is a future to safeguard and conserve.
