The mission had become a nation building instead of a military one.
We should have hit the Taliban hard, left and if they returned, hit them again, including going into Pakistan

Bring the guys home. No need for more to die for a bunch of heathens.
Get them out of there and Libya.

We can not even define the enemy. What is the point being there?

Let's get out.
And then nuke it from orbit (which is what we should have done on September 12, 2001.)

If they commit terror anywhere I say nuke them all and let God sort them out. My guess is all will go to allah=lucifer.

Salt the earth in the GD poppy fields, make it so they never grow another one, then get the hell out. Let em try to make a living renting lodging to the AQ freaks that are left and blow the crap out of every camp they ever try to establish. It won’t be regime change it will be a police action.

That picture is what made me change my mind, the halfass commander that ordered that does not deserve further support.
To: Nachum
Afghanistan may never be a modern country and since there is practically no infrastructure, it is basically impossible to mount a modern war against them. You will never be able to defeat the Taliban if they can hide in Pakistan and then come back when we eventually leave.

There no longer is any point to what we are doing there. Time to get out. And no point in dragging it out, that I can see.

We should had started pulling out two years ago. President Bush’s initial move not to devote excessive resources to Afghanistan.
To: Blood of Tyrants
You will never be able to defeat the Taliban if they can hide in Pakistan and then come back when we eventually leave. True. Which means the real target, from the beginning, should have been Pakistan.

Reduce to a minimum presence (embassy staff and intelligence) and drop inexpensive bombs from drones.

Yup. We kicked arse and the original objectives were achieved years ago. The first 90% is done. The remaining 10% will keep us there forever.
Excellent job and job well done!
We may have to return in a few years to kick some more butt. But, such is world politics.
