Was this before or after the FIFA match?
All those lives, treasure and war material to be right back where we were in Sept of ‘01. I hope I never hear the word ‘Afghanistan’ again.
Nation building in a tribal third world dump was insane.
We should have carpet bombed the crap out of them, salted the poppy fields, and used SpecOps and drones after the initial campaign.
They don’t want to be anything like us.
Which is always the way it was going to be. This is why I opposed that war from day one. No matter how long we were there, it would go back as soon as we left. History going back at least to Alexander the Great shows it.
The ninth circle of hell awaits you Joe Biden.
Possibility #1: Feminists worldwide will be outraged by this incident.
Possibility #2: Feminists will ignore this incident, and instead worry about some pronoun in some paper somewhere.
I’m going with Possibility #2.
[Those punished received between 21 and 39 lashes each, after being convicted in a local court of offences ranging from theft]
I’d guess 5%-8% of WalMart and grocery store “shoppers” wouldn’t survive.
Cashier at the local Aldi’s told me, just tonight, some guy comes in and steal every day he’s there.
Given the current state of America, the employees are probably powerless (unless they have some asset protection people too).
100%. Doomed from the first boot on the ground for reasons I’m not in the mood to get into and which you others all probably know anyway.
You got that right.
some guy comes in and stealS every day he’s there
darn it - rushing! LOL

That article definatly needed repeating,and repeating,and repeating,,,,
They’re Moslems. What do you expect?
“Nation building in a tribal third world dump was insane.”
Lot’s of people got rich off of the taxpayers. That’s what freedom is all about.
To be truthful, the Afghan puppet government was never going to stand on its own. We should have never gone in. Thousands of American lives wasted and trillions of dollars poured down a rat hole.
Thieves were lucky they didn’t lose a hand.
If they had a beheading the could use it as a soccer ball.
Is there any reason why I should care about how the Afghans run Afghanistan?
To which I’d add: To hell with George W. Bush. He set the tone in Afghanistan. And as a result, we spent all that treasure and blood was spent for nothing.
But wait. It gets worse. Bush II wasn’t content with just botching the Afghanistan campaign. He had to go and start another war by invading Iraq.
I was elated when Bush II was declared the winner of the 2000 election. What a fool I was! If I’d known then what I know now, I’d have voted for Al Gore. I can’t see how he would have done any worse.
