Thanks,Obama, snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory -- he reduced and demoralized the military, giving the Taliban hope to stay and fight another day.

Nothing new here that hundreds of us haven't predicted for years. BFD

Nuke it from space. Its the only way to be sure. And that includes our “ally” [/s] Pakistan too.

We knew this would happen. Obama couldn’t hardly wait for them to do it. He wants to make them legitimate.

Well, its not like there are other political parties to choose from. The place is run by family and tribes. The Taliban is the only entity that crosses family and tribe ties.

Maybe Ron Paul should head there and become the poppy Czar.

Carpet bomb that hellhole or get our troops out of their before we lose any more of our troops.

Karzai and many other Afghan ingrates deserve to stew in their Taliban juices. Once we’re out we should confine ourselves to bombing Taliban/terrorist training camps there.

The Afghan government and cronies are mercilessly corrupt, and it’s easy for the Taliban to portray the U.S. as pro-corruption since we’re the only thing keeping that regime in power. It’s not a large leap from that point to say that western, non-Islamic influences are the corrupting force.

As such, most Afghans are a least sympathetic to their countrymen and co-religionists who champion Islam.

Nation-building in the Islamic world won’t work. Never will.

Defeat in Afghanistan has been inevitable since 2002.

[Mike Darancette]

"Many Afghans are already bracing themselves for an eventual return of the Taliban,"

It will be a bloodbath.

[TexasRepublic]

No surprise - you could not toilet train those bloody savages, much less democratize them. We should nuke them and while in the neighborhood nuke Mecca also.

[onedoug]

All those lives....

Well, at least the Quisling In Chief's pium is secure.
