...unexpectedly...

[pallis]

We will be like good citizens leaving a wilderness campsite, clean and pristine, as though we were never there. Afghanistan will return to its natural state of Islamic oppression.

[null and void]

That may be the highest use of that land. a planetary open-air insane asylum.

[immadashell]

I would suggest that some form of water-boarding be part of the recruiting process.

[BenLurkin]

I say we give them a head start by annhilating what infratrucute there is as we leave. Power plants, waste treatment, water supply, bridges, dams. Blow it all up real good as we pull out.

[patriotsblood]

Before we leave, I would like to see us permanently destroy the land’s ability to grow any crops. The main export of this uncivilized piece of hell seems to be opium.

[hinckley buzzard]

shoulder to shoulder...right. Expecting these primitives to adopt western notions of nationhood is about as ignorant as expecting the Arab Spring to yield peaceful democratic governments. Sad that the sacrifices of our troops there are now so pointless. I can see no possible way to achieve our stated goals there. The whole effort rapidly threatens to degenerate into fatuous futility, with the inevitable VietNam-like bloodbath after we slink away.

[KantianBurke]

Can we get the hell out of that turd world nation NOW??

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks null and void.

Taliban infiltration of the Afghan army and police is much worse than the U.S. military and NATO have admitted

So, where's all the alleged foreign ministers of other nations claiming that the Obama administration has "squandered" all the good feelings foreign countries used to have in us?

[MarineDad]

And there's quite a pile of them around the world, isn't there?

What an amazing coincidence so many are filled with mosques, too.
Haven't quite figured out just how that works...

By the way, love your tagline! Wondered about the very same thing for years. I positively despise the TSA, and it's one abomination that didn't originate with the ObamaNation...

[blueunicorn6]

The first rule of fighting is.....
NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.

[ilovesarah2012]

Afghanistan has infrastructure? I never would have guessed.

[abclily]

We need to bring ALL of our people out of Afghanistan NOW!!!

[Tijeras_Slim]

Destroy their ability to grow poppies and leave. Infrastructure? Just leave it, it will fall apart about as fast as destroying it.

[LiveFree99]

My brother has been to Afghanistan to work on water treatment plants. We joke about how they will soon all belong to the Taliban.

[little jeremiah]

I just read the whole article.

I wish to God in Heaven that all our military were out of there TOMORROW.

[TADSLOS]

Lord Obama’s Just War is Lost.

[SE Mom]

Get the HELL OUT of that country.

[Ben Ficklin]

"Lord Obama's Just War is Lost"

If you read the article Crocker is very critical of Bush and the NeoCons and states what everyone knows, Afghanistan was lost when Lord Cheney put Afghanistan on the back burner and went into Iraq.
