...they are short of weapons and ammunition."

"And sheep and goats and little boys as companions for lonely evenings in desert."

SOOOO....LETS SEEEE.....

THIS WOULD BE NO TIME TO TURN TAIL AND RUN?

i wonder if the libs are listening?

[FredZarguna]

The only reason he believes that is because he doesn't have enough Arabic translators to apprise him of the actual situation. The war's lost. Move on.

[SaxxonWoods]

I don’t thing the country can stand much more of this good news.

[Nachum]

With all due respect, one cannot decapitate a bunch of cockeroaches. All one can do is kill enough of them to keep the problem under control.

[God luvs America]

more bad news for the defeatocrats....

[tired1]

have no fear, our libs will come to their rescue.

NO SARC TAG

[Skooz]

bump

[null and void]

and made it extremely difficult for Pakistan-based Taliban leaders

Huh? Don't they keep telling us the Pakistanis are on our side?

[elfman2]

I think that your point is reasonable to an extent, but cockroaches don’t need weapons, money, ammo, resupply, intelligence, coordination of command or foreign recruits. But yes, the Taliban can largely survive without it, go inactive and wait for it to be rebuilt.

No worries, This is not being reported in US media.

If we found a cure for death it would not be reported in the MSM here.

With all due respect, someone has to plan and direct operations, organize the supplies and intelligence, propaganda etc. Even with the terrorist cockroaches

nothing good comes from claiming ‘imminent defeat’ of this or that opponent if you are a Republican.

Two things will happen:

1. The defeat won’t come soon enough and then any disruption, complication, aggravation or anything else even short of violence will cause liberals and the DNC to claim that you were wrong and there everything you ever said is in question - forever. (Oh, and you were also wrong before)

2. You do wipe out your opponents and then the entire existence of the conflict you won becomes a footnote in history and nobody ever mentions it again (like the Marine victory in Fallujah or the 21 day routing of the Taliban in 2001).

It’s a no-win situation in the media world. You still should go ahead and win, by all means. But there is no point in telling the media you are winning or planning on winning since they just don’t give a crap.

[Jeff Chandler]

Hang on, Taliban! Obama wants to talk to you.

(With no preconditions.)

[An American in Turkiye]

I’m getting ready to go on a 6 month deployment to Kabul in a few months. Please freepers, pray that we have a president that does not cut and run.
