The notion of defeating an enemy is SO last century!

Sigh. Some people are incapable of seeing truth. There is nothing we can do to fix Afghanistan. Nothing. When we leave they will shift from killing us to killing each other. This chimera that somehow our pulling our troops out will enable these tribes to launch an attack on us is laughable. It’s the Saudis who fund it. Not these primitives living in caves.

The true purpose is eternal war for the benefit of banks, contractors and politicians. Not so much benefit for the soldiers and their families and the taxpayers.

...Rag tag Afghans and assorted other 3rd world Muslims are not going to take over or invade the West militarily or try to....

Who would have thought ISIS would have gobbled up so much of Iraq and Syria in their Koran mandated world conquest? They still need land for their satanic calipjate?

You are 100% correct, I simply got them backwards as I put them in. Thanks for that correction.

I would rather be corrected than think I am right!

> And once we are gone, they will take over and begin making plans for another attack on the USA. <

Bomb them from the air. Disrupt them, continuously. But while we could have - maybe - defeated the Taliban/Al Qaeda soon after 9/11, Bush let that opportunity slip away. Nation-building became more important than victory.

So victory is not possible now. And a stalemate would only be temporary. Time is on the side of the Taliban. So get out, and bomb them from the air.

Hibbatulah Abkundzada.

The Taliban deserves to be bombed into oblivion for this idiotic name alone.

The problem with that is there is no way to tell Taliban from non-Taliban ... unless you are a local ... and even then it could be just someone’s word against another ... and you’d have to be on the ground adjudicating that one by one. Not feasible.

That’s Muslims fighting Muslims over Muslim lands ... which has been going on continuously for over 1000 years! Those places have changed hands hundreds if not thousands of times over history ... Muslim history.

Just like using the sun, stars and the horizon for navigation instead of listening to the twit on a GPS device to find your way out of the desert when you never wanted to be there in the first place.

I think he stole that speech from the Democrats

“peace” is only possible if conservatives allies, and the one “occupying” the white house, retreat from society. The main obstacle in the way of peace is the occupation. Peaceful solution of the US issue is the main pillar of the policy of the BLM and antifa, should the occupation come to an end.

You have correctly stated the pacifist party line.

People know who are sheep and who are goats. Kill the goats. Don’t worry about court of law rock solid irrefutable proof. Once the process starts, those needing to be killed will become very apparent.

A simple change in the rules of engagement allowing arrest and detention will go along way to sorting out sheep from goats.

Yep and that’s one big problem. Got to shut the smack farms down and remove the junk from the world and the revenue from the bad guys. They want to keep the 7th century cult? Then enjoy the 7th century economy.

We need to get out, but before leaving we need to agent orange all the poppy fields.
