So you would just cut, run and let the Taliban take Afghanistan and possibly Pakistan? So that they can give safe haven to terrorists groups who will attack us?

LOL they already have safe haven there. Bin Laden was hidden by the Pakistani’s for 7 years.

We arent stopping them from doing anything they want to do there, and we pay them for the privilege of watching them do it.

Where is our trillion $$$ presence in Pakistan (They shut out our logistics in case you have not noticed) Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Libya, Egypt and the rest of Africa, lol? Remember, they got us with box cutters, not SAMS or other traditional military means. You must think Al Q will turn into a "Super Power" if we don't waste trillion$ instituting COIN. Good grief man, seek & destroy, in & out leaving a violent impression, and threaten Mecca's existence.

Our "occupation" in Afghan is the most effective recruiting tool (Other than our "satanic" way of life embracing all that is not from allah) despite how carefully the leaders tip-toe in the wilderness of COIN implementation.
