This clown is an idiot. Go read the history of Russia in Afghan. Our military had all of 16 weeks of training on average prior to Vietnam. So why the hell train the Afghans for 17 years. Screw Afghan and nation building. Special Forces does an area study and yes, two SF teams jumped in with the northern alliance and Karzai’s punks. Then US regular units came in. What a screw up. Tell me your BS.

You might want to reread a portion of the column, starting with "Nation-building has failed . . "

Jacob is not for staying the course in Afghanistan for ~100 years, as Max Boot and the late Sen. John McCaine wanted us to do.

He's saying it's time to leave.

Do you disagree with that?

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!!!
