We should have turned Afghanistan into a parking lot in 2001.
As much as I admired and supported GWB at the time; incidents like this remind me that he never really DID what he promised from atop the pile of rubble in NYC with the old fireman at his side.
I took it from his remarks that there would be hell to pay for the terrorists and those who sided WITH them. As I’ve viewed it, some of the terrorists got a little hell, a la Hellfire missiles from drones, etc.
But the second group; the aiders, abettors and supporters have pretty much been allowed to skate....and NOW are actually being encouraged and FUNDED by the RAGHEAD IN CHIEF, with no discernable resistance from the overpaid drunks in either house of Congress!
....”We should have turned Afghanistan into a parking lot in 2001”......
Wouldn’t have been hard to justify that after 9/11. Instead the US believes it can “change” the mindset of a nation and it’s Government when in fact most in the nations don’t want it changed.
Taliban war lords and other tribal leaders will always use violence to gain power there. It’s their culture. I say bring all our guys home and bomb all their camps.....done deal til the next batch rises to the top and then bomb them.
