Sorry, but I see FBI, I think not credible.
Too much lying from the FBI over the past few years.
“...Soufan: Absolutely. Afghanistan is a tribal country in so many different regions, with different ethnic groups. Most Afghanis didn’t trust the government because of corruption. When they had a problem, they didn’t go to the government. They went to the jirga and they went to the elders to solve a lot of these issues. That is an opportunity that we missed. We would have needed a policy based on the culture of the place, based on the culture in Kabul and the culture in Herat, the culture in Mazar-e-Sharif, but not based on the culture of Washington. I think this was one of the biggest problems...”
I don’t care what some FBI agent thinks. Scum.
When Trump left office, the war was long over, and we were occupying post-war Afghanistan with a small force. Like post-war Japan or Germany.
The Taliban did not take Afghanistan. We gave it to them.
Afghanistan was never a war that America could win, because would not use traditional tribal warfare tactics and wipe out the entire population.
The only thing that America should have done was bomb Osama’s mountain into a crater and then set up a trading post with Afghanistan and trade with them for their minerals.
The Deep State’s view.
We lost because we don’t have the correct focus anymore. It’s all ultimately about “don’t offend them”.
Should have just bombed the hell out of them, and then left them to deal with it. Like real war. Especially with primitive brutal cultures. Too bad they got messed up for messing with us.
It should have been waged with cruise missiles and MOABS, AND SCREW THE NATION BUILDING.
Years ago, when freepers went to Iraq and produced their own report, they brought up the tribal elements of Iraqi society. Trying to impose a American and European government and miltary on different culture does not work.
Joey Xi Bai Dung made this all possible for the Taliban ....
We were getting ready to print books for the new improved CRT Afghan school curriculum. It was just too much too soon.
You have to take baby steps:
Jihadi: “Hey, give us back our dead goat!”
US Diplomat: “Okay okay, You can have your goat carcass back in a minute, but there’s something I need to talk to you about!”
Jihadi: “Hey, no fair! Right in the middle of the game!”
Diplomat: “The sooner you pipe down and listen up, the sooner you can go back to your game, alright?”
Jihadi: “Aww— okay, so... “
Diplomat: “Guys, there’s... concerns... okay, here’s the deal: You Got To Stop Buggering The KIDS !
Baby steps.
I think He's still using them to punish Western Civilization. We celebrate and promote fags, murdering the unborn, etc.
Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America.
There is an escape for our madness, but America is too sophisticated to admit it.
