We obviously have no serious intentions of beating these guys nor do we have a coherent strategy that has much of a chance. We are not only undermanned for the job but massively confused and gelded by political correctness, politicians, and lawyers on our strategies and goals. Our Liberals now control what is done there and that makes it hopeless for us for the foreseeable future.

Additionally, the Karzai regime is so corrupt, incompetent, and without widespread popular support the country will splinter again along tribal lines once we pull out. Afghanistan is a cultural, political, and religious basket case and always was. We blew our opportunity to succeed there long ago. Now we are just repeatedly playing the somber tune of "Bleed, Bleed, Bleed" while our finest are maimed and die in that hopeless 3rd World hell hole peopled either either by Muslim fanatics or those who simply want to be left alone to their tribal ways.

We might as well partner up with the bad guys to make the best deal possible, get out, and stop expending our military and resources. We need to save them for wars looming in more strategic places including on this side of the ocean.

Bring the troops home to rest and refit and put them on our own border. We will very soon need them here.

I don’t exactly call Obama$$’s ROE for our troops carrying weapons and NOT being able to chamber rounds...SAFETY or NOBLE!!! That’s why our troop deaths are being quadrupled!! I call that sending our troops into suicidal ambushes....
that’s how much he cares about our sons and daughter as freedom fighters!!
It’s called “STINKIN’ THINKIN’ “!!!! I’ve been a ‘Blue Star Mama’ for almost 27 yrs.
and I never in this life thought I would say it, BUT we need to get our troops home and YESTERDAY!!! All BO and Hitlery are doing is using them for cannon fodder!!

Very well put!! My sentiments perxactly!!! The Usurper in the WH and his ilk have dealt treasonously all through the Middle East with their agenda, and no one with any clout, so far has done one thing to try and thart it!!

What I wondered quite often is, who ever changed the definition of treason?
It seems to me that must surely be a liberal thingy also....they tend to seek to nullify anything that would disagree with any agenda they might have. Take for instance our ‘The Constitution” that our forefathers set forth? Obama$$ and his evil ilk are doing everything they can to circumvent, ignor, and change it in-order-to suit their EVIL agenda.... to bring this once mighty nation to it’s knees and destoy it from within!!

“...“...and hopefully it’ll be 50 years before we think of each other again.”

Unfortunately, these lunatics have long memories. They’ll be “thinking about us” every waking moment for the rest of their lives and how best to kill Americans.

This morning I was driving to work, and a Ford Expedition cut in front of me. I swung out and passed alongside and saw that it had about 8 people inside - all with close shaved heads, full beards in the fashion that I’ve seen the Mooj wearing, and the look they gave me as I passed them said it all.

It said “We’re HERE and f*** you.”

Is that a little “racial profiling?” - sure it is. When it comes to my and my family’s physical safety, you’re damn right I’ll profile. There is precedent after all. It wasn’t 80 year old Irish Catholic grannies that drove aircraft into our buildings and killed 3000 Americans.

Oh yeah....they’re thinking of us night and day, brother.
Better believe it.

Partner up my eye. That’s no different than asking the Taliban to watch over our women and children while we secure the borders.

Unfriggin’ believable.

I don’t know where they get the, “...and hopefully it’ll be 50 years before we think of each other again.”

Yeah, they’re thinking, “50 years”. /s

Those animals are DREAMING of the next time they get a chance to dance in the streets at the sight of dead American citizens.

As Americans, we’ve been fighting them since Jefferson.

As Christians, we’ve been fighting them since their child-molestor prophet came out of the desert with a sword and a hard-on in the 600s A.D.

It won’t stop in our lifetime, unless we get serious about ending their endless jihad.

Sorta like communists and their definition of peace - “peace is the absence of opposition to our goals.”

They’re in a perpetual state of war with everyone and everything.

Lunatics...pure and simple.

The Russians couldn’t win.

I hate that our troops are there. It reminds me too much of Viet Nam.

At least the troops who survive aren’t being spat upon.

This is a hard thing for me to say but, I’m with you...I’ll take “nothing”.
