I'd like our government to tell us all just why we're still in Afghanistan? It is the consummate $hithole, and so why is it worth even one more American soldier's life? Wipe out their Opium Poppy fields and leave them to kill one another until there's no one left. I fail to understand the "strategic significance" of that whole part of the world. If they "export" anything other than camel farts, bomb them. Otherwise we should probably just leave them to do what they've done for centuries, kill each other over "which flavor of Islam" is the right one.

We should have decamped after the punitive expedition phase and never started the nation-building / meals-on-wheels phase. “We’ve messed you over for allowing the likes of OBL to live among you. We’ll come back and do it again if you do it again.”

That should have been delivered in about 2004, maybe 2003.
