If our troops aren’t burning Poppy fields and salting the Earth within a month there’s no point we should be there.
Thank You - Thank you - about time someone spoke up. Loved the Speech and so did most others. We need to kill terrorists with no hands tied behind our backs (ROE). Notice that Trump never said how many troops, if any at this time. He is forcing India to stop Pakistan from hiding terrorist, similar to his economic war with China to stop NK. IT worked. If Pakistan doesn’t stop harboring ISIS, funding from USA will stop. Period. We need to win and end ISIS once and for all.
And n00b, your projection complex just burst one of the last 3 working brain cells you were able to use.
I grew up a long time ago; though I was better educated and far wiser than you are now, when I was 13.
Go back to DU, you don't belong here!
And some on here even giddy Graham finally came out in support of POTUS tonight.
Fools.
President Trump: As a result of our comprehensive review, American strategy in #Afghanistan and South Asia will change dramatically.
twitter clip of the President's speech
President Trump on a New Strategy for U.S. Approach to South Asia President Donald J. Trump delivers a Presidential Address to the nation at Fort Myer, Virginia, August 21, 2017. - U.S. Department of State
We originally went into Afghanistan to get Osama Bin Laden for September 11th, 2001. That has been accomplished.
I am still a strong President Trump supporter, but I did not vote for this.
EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED....
Bet DU stands for you-know-what.
We�re being trolled big time tonight.
The lefists snowflakes are in total meltdown.

Stop with the childish insults and use your brain.
Stands for “Down Under” as in “Quigley Down Under”, gets the paranoid and slow thinkers every time.
Plus stating the truth is not trolling, this is a maj broken campaign promise by Trump, we’ll see how it turns out, but 16 years later where are we.
+1.
Please post WHERE I said or even vaguely inferred that je jeune statement.
I agree with you.
Can you look in that crystal ball of yours and tell me who’s going to win the Kentucky Derby in 2018?
REPEAT FROM ANOTHER FREEPER:
Nobody wins in Afghanistan.
Alexander the Great couldn’t conquer it 2350 years ago, Genghis Khan gave up, the Brits gave up, the Russian’s gave up. It’s not worth the effort and the Afghanis don’t want anyone there. We should cut our losses, kill as many Taliban as is possible as a punitive act, and then just abandon it.
The argument was how the Media would spin it if President Trump abandoned Afghanistan.
They would blame him for the War and the loss, just like they blamed Nixon for Vietnam.
You know, the JFK / LBJ War. Nixon was the guy who got us out, not in, but you would never know it with the Treasonous Media in this Country.
I am not going to waste my time going back and forth on the wisdom of the Afghan War.
Again, we will just have to agree to disagree. Thanks.
What’s not true about my statement?
This entire speech by Trump is a 180 from what he promised on the campaign. He likely won over a lot of dem voters because of the NO WARS WHERE AMERICAN INTERESTS ARE NOT CONCERNED.
If our troops aren’t decimating every poppy field and making sure none are able to be grown in the fields again then more Americans die for nothing. Destroying the poppy fields is THE ONLY INTEREST America has in afghanistan, but we’re over there protecting them. So they can sell our families heroin.
“Do you really really believe we’re going to kill all of the terrorists over there?”
We COULD. Kill everyone and God sort them out.
Great Speech. I think that was a planned “leak” or something that was mentioned. Never confirmed. Trump doesn’t signal his moves, but to be sure Pakistan is NOW on notice - get rid of your terrorists or funding to you stops. India will help like China did to stop NK - or there will be economic consequences.
If the poppy fields don’t burn there is no reason we need to be there.
Obviously YOU didn’t listen to the president’s speech/understand it!
And n00b, your projection complex just burst one of the last 3 working brain cells you were able to use.
I grew up a long time ago; though I was better educated and far wiser than you are now, when I was 13.
Go back to DU, you don’t belong here!

LOL, Head Shaking.
What you are, is an uneducated, ill equipped to debate me, little nothing of a nobody who has NO idea what you're talking about.
So you agree we’re NOT going to kill all of the terrorists over there.
