Nukem first?

I was thinking a similar thing. Maybe a withdrawal while still continuing ribbon the Shiite out of them via drones is an option. Enough to keep them in their own areas. Let the Afghan government worry about the areas that support it and the rest can go to hell.

I wish people would stop saying we lost. The Afghans are the losers. We put training wheels on their bike and pushed them along for 17 years but at the end of the day they couldnt figure out how to ride on their own. We didn’t surrender, they are a failed society. I want to teach my own kids how to ride now. America comes first.

Did you forget that Bin Laden who orchestrated the attack on 9/11 2001 where almost 3000 people were killed lived in Afghanistan?

Shame on you.

[Kaslin]

Do you remember that President Bush often said that will be a long war, and it will be a war like the USA has never seen. I remember it very well. He did not lie.

[Kaslin]

News Flash to you. I am a 76 year old senior citizen who is handicapped and you want me to fight them?

Get real bozo

[Kaslin]

You obviously did not read the entire ob-ed, or otherwise you would have read that he wrote this We had a good reason to go to war in Afghanistan. But having set up a new government and assisted it for nearly two decades, we now lack a good reason to stay. Bring our troops home...with care.

At the end of his ob-ed!!!

[papertyger]

The New York Times editorialized....

A phrase real Americans treat like "according to Punxsutawney Phil...."

[papertyger]

Yep. Saudi nationals kill 2,000+ US civilians slaughtered and GW goes into Afghanistan. Never could figure that out.

It makes perfect sense if you expend the energy to actually look into the workings modern day islam instead of waiting for some MSM source to spoon-feed it to you.... (rolling eyes)

[papertyger]

You hump a rifle then.

You sure told him, didn't you.

It must take real skill to be on FR as long as you have, and still respond like a petulant, teenage girl.

[papertyger]

You obviously did not read the entire ob-ed, or otherwise...

Didn't that happen once before around here? ;-)

[Psalm 144]

Read his CV. State department puke on steroids. Made his career under Bush2 and Barry Soetero.

[Seruzawa]

Ah yes. Another armchair warrior.

[John Locke]

Once upon a time, most of what is now Afghanistan was called Bactria, and it was rich, civilized, and stable. But that is because it was ruled by Greek kings, and its people were Hellenistic pagans, and later, after the conversion of Menander I, Buddhists

There could hardly be a sharper lesson of the evils of a certain religion it is probably a hate crime to name.

[zeestephen]

Tell them we will hunt down and kill EVERY person in the Taliban leadership if there are ANY terrorist attacks on the USA, or on USA allies like Israel.

[papertyger]

Ah yes. Another armchair warrior.

How long you been using that line to defend talking out your ass, old man?

Hump many rifles on that boat?

[Lumper20]

The Russians tried also. An area study tells you many things. We are fools for riding up and down MSR’s. John McCain was a pilot as was Bush. Pilots know little about ground warfare OPORD’s.

[Lumper20]

I would not quote/post one thing/article from townhall. You should know better. You ever have an S-3 job?
