We should pull out of there and open one office in Kabul. Paying a 2,000 Bounty on Taliban Scalps.
SEVERAL?
In other news, I killed a bunch of ants today. Ants are my enemy. I expend a lot of effort killing ants & other bugs, knowing I will never eradicate them.
Fortunately, I have the good sense not to spend billions of dollars & risk the lives of many good people to solve my ant problem. The ants are just not worth that much effort. A 5$ can of ant powder does the job just fine.
I considered trying to civilize the ants, but that seemed real stupid. Common sense tells me I don’t have the time, money, or resources to do that, & even if I did, there are other, more important problems to deal with. Again, the ants are not worth the effort.
