They’re not willing to fight it the way it needs to be, in order to win.
Afghanistan is not worth one more American life, nor one more dollar of American money.
They are corrupt, tribal jihadi society.
Under Basrck Obama’s three years we have had more KIA in Afghanistan than in the seven years under Bush. Obama is not only the nation’s worst President, he is a completely disengaged and uncaring Commander in Chief.
Get the guys back to Kandahar and then out of the country,the sooner the better.
Anyone who f’s with our withdrawal gets eliminated with extreme prejudice. THAT the useless Afghanis understand.
Unless you rate banner poppy production as good news, there will be no more good news coming -just bad news and worse news.
Yep, Viet Nam all over again. The politicians sabotaged our war effort and refused to win, thereby killing a whole lot of our kids for NOTHING! It was criminal in the 1960s and it’s criminal now. Our politicians will never learn.
I just voted on Bill O’Reilly.com to get out of Afghanistan. Why should another American patriot die for these corrupt politicians who care not a whit?
George Bush cared, but he could have won the war too and didn’t.
I don’t care at all for Obama.
In relation to Afghanistan and the war since 2001, the following most recent posts:
“In a way i agree w/ Elle Bee.
It depends on how one defines ‘winning a war’ in Afghanistan or Iraq.
You can’t win a war (easily) against an ideology (certainly not the Taliban which espouses an Islamic philosophy [ideology], as well as the tribal Islamics factions in Afghanistan, or any where in the moslem world).
That war is certainly not “winnable” by guns or military alone. You have to declare war against the ideology (philosophy) itself.
To think that we could win a war against an ideology by military alone and then nation-build was a mistake, which was made long before Obama.
And, I definitely don’t support Obama, male or female.”
“Afghanistan has a dreadful history dominated by tribal (Islamic) leaders who have been & still are anti-modernization. They want Islam to dominate.
Even their monarch back in the 70s had massive trouble with these tribal leaders. So, did the Soviets, and we are too. We should’ve taken that into account when embarking on so-called ‘nation-building’ adventures.
Kabul may be a slightly different story, safer, etc.. but Kabul is not all or most of Afghanistan.
Karzai has not been a popular figure since around 2007. I heard that from 4 or 5 different people who visited, spent time there and should know.
Karzai is hanging on by a very thin thread. That’s partly why he is upping the rhetoric about Quran burning, and shifting back and forth on wanting to negotiate w/ the Taliban. If it weren’t for US and NATO troops, he couldn’t possibly hang on. I reckon he will be eventually killed or will have to escape. Especially once NATO pulls out.”
