“We didn’t know what we were doing”

Kept taking the pay, though.

Nuke the whole country from orbit - its the only way to be sure.

Actually, our leaders knew exactly what they were doing and they did it intentionally.

Remember, Afghanistan was the Obama “Good War” and for Obama it was a great war to engineer his goal of the managed decline of America’s military power.

Obama’s policies in Afghanistan did great harm to the United States military and to the national security of the United States.

100 years ago the British found out how to do it. Pity we will not learn from them

Buy the strongest tribe, supply them with weapons and money and make them keep the peace. Don’t look at how they do it.

Nobody has ever tamed Afghanistan and nobody ever will.
We should never have set foot there.
30 days of B-52 daily missions was all the commitment needed.

Send these traitors to prison

This reminds me of those old Vietnam War “light at the end of the tunnel” reports. And that’s one reason I despise George W. Bush. He had all the lessons of Vietnam right in front of him. And yet he foolishly repeated most of the mistakes that LBJ had made.

And I suppose Afghanistan will end just like Vietnam did. There will be some sort of “peace treaty” to save face. Then in a few months helicopters will be rescuing folks from the US embassy roof.

By the way, I will not blame Obama for the Afghan mess. He is no more at fault than Nixon was for the Vietnam mess.

"And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."

(Orders FBI to evacuate all Saudis while rest of America grounded; visits D.C. mosque while WTC smouldered to declare Islam 'the religion of peace;' Invades Iraq; bends over for Taliban godfather Musharraf; leaves Pakistan and Saudi Arabia alone)

Hijackers:

Saudis: 16
Iraqis: ZERO
Afghans: ZERO

Sigh..

The saddest part is to compare how the greatest generation dealt with their Perl Harbor, versus how we dealt with our own Perl Harbor (9/11).

In the hands of the greatest generation, there would be few areas in the Middle East safe to set foot in for the next 250 years.

And the world would have been better for it.

[redgolum]

Simple.

We lost.

[God luvs America]

this is what happens when you try to win a war by winning “hearts and minds” rather than just annihilating the enemy...
