Goal-directed combat (war fighting) was over in Afghanistan in 2002.

Seems he’s just following the typical liberal democrat war plan.

1.) Put up a flag

2.) Declare victory (or end of hostilities)

3.) Go home

The liberal media will run interference for them as the countries devour themselves and collapse in our aftermath....

We can expect the slaughter of tens(if not hundreds) of thousands of people at the hands of the Taliban as they reestablish their control and create a Radical Islamic Theocracy based on Sharia Law.

OK, what's your desired end state for American war fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Honestly, I don’t have any good answers for that.

I’m just bitching.

U.S. casualties will not be covered by the media. The chaos will not be “news.”  What is happening to our success in Libya? It is not interesting to the press.

So now he’ll turn his back on Afghanistan and in six months it will devolve into ISIS-like barbarism too. But he’ll boast that he ended the war.

“How did “the right war” no longer become “right”?

Obama opposed Iraq and said that Afghanistan was the right war.”

The problem is you believed the liar.

I recall a similar declaration regarding a certain southeast Asian country. We all know how that turned out...though I doubt Congress will have to tie dear leader’s hands if it happens in the next two years.

Sarge, you gotta look at this from a historical perspective. It doesn’t make it easier or better. But it is what it is.

Throughout time, massive numbers of people have intentionally gone down the path to national suicide and the result is always death and suffering. They take lots of innocent and better people to hell with them. And every couple hundred years or less, they repeat the process.

Half of America is now fully insane. Probably 3/4 when you count all the abject morons still making excuses here and elsewhere for more liberal Republicans and liberal actions.

There are not enough of us to change that course and it WILL happen again. Nature will take it’s course, most of them and some of us will die. We will regain the upper hand. Life will improve dramatically. A generation of three will pass and the process begins again because people thing ‘it can’t happen here’.

None of what we/conservatives have done or stood for was in vain. Because without us, the survivors would have nothing to model a rebuilt world around.

what like Iraq, only problem is that the enemy doesn’t agree with him.
On the other hand when we have a man who has never served, does not listen to top officers, and has never had a proper job in his life then what can we expect other than the fiasco we have seen by this idiot.

Hey O’bambi, wars end when the other guys stop attacking you, not when you stop attacking them.

That's astute, but leaves out the part where a few tens of millions of the billions paid out to the Muslim Brotherhood gets added to the Obama family accounts held in Switzerland, the Caribbean and Indonesia.

So is this what the smoke and mirror hacking of Sony was for?

If it was it died out a little bit too soon to add the needed smoke screen.

Does Kabul even have an airport? It’s landlocked and has sucky countries in every direction. Bad place to be a refugee.
