Sounds like destroying a village in order to save it.
Talibuddies, for your own good, STAND BACK!
wonder what will happen to all the American/western hostages in the country once we start bombing the Taliban?
I see pallets of cash being air dropped into Afghanistan in the near future.
They have already copied our technology.
Great idea!. Lets give the Taliban even MORE incentive to take hostages and start killing Americans.
Nobody ever seems to ask “And then what?”
If you figure the average cost of a Hellfire (fired by the AF), it’s around $70k each. I’d have to ask what the value trade-off is.
we have 10000americans over thereand he’s gonna start bombingcan you think those people are gonna sit back and not
retaliate against them
How about airstrikes on the bassterd Taliban?
Exactly right. Now they can just spread it around, making it impossible to strike at. Joe isn’t fooling anyone.
Well that’s one way of keeping the Taliban from interfering with the evacuation. </sarcasm>
It was ok to leave it in the first place…as long as it was completely destroyed. Xiden must have been having a senior moment…. Like all of his moments.
If it keeps the equipment of of the hands of the tallybad and subsequently terrorists it’d be money well spent. IMHO.
Ask yourself;
You came home from work at 6 PM to find the place ransacked.
Bewildered you called SOMEONE immediately and within hours every report has been reported sand you cleaned the place up, or had it cleaned up and though late, you went to bed with some food in your belly and a plan to do more tomorrow on your day off from work .... which is exactly what you did.
Afghanistan has been re-taken by the taliban and we are no longer a fighting/protecting force there.
What . . ?
NOW you want to call the cops ? ?
Half the stuff is probably already in Iran.
