“We’re going to have to go back in to get ISIS,” Panetta told CNN
***************
Who is this “we” he’s talking about? Certainly not the elites, anyone in their families, and their affluent pals.
The “We” he refers to is just cannon fodder for the ruling class.
Yep. This disgusting little toad has never heard or fired a shot in anger yet here he is still pushing more young people to their deaths.
Enough of these damn endless wars that consume our blood and treasure so the elites can prosper. No more.
Yeah, BrainDead Joe will decide to invade the Sudan to get back at the Tallyband for not keeping their promises to an idiot!!! We are now the laughing stock of the planet. This mess has only emboldened our enemies. The Russians, Red Chinese, North Korea, Iran, all terrorists groups, are all chomping at the bit to hit something American. Sink a few Navy ships, blow up an air force base, hit a major Army or Marine base, blow up a US Post Office, bomb a Walmart or MiniMart down the street. Yup, they will start their programs to hit us because they know the Idiot In Chief doesn’t have one idea of what to do. He only wants to play with his Tonka Toys in his sand box and go swimming in his plastic pool in the back yard. Yup. Laughing stocks.
Dem logic. give the bad guys 80 billion of our weapons and send more troops over to get killed.
Nuke the whole area and start pumping American oil again.
Then dig a canal from east to west across the southern border, 1000 ft wide and 100 ft deep.
Everybody in the country sees this except Joe Biden!
Deep state operative selling perpetual wars, great. /s
No we don’t. He and his family can go, though, if they want.
No! Bomb the ever-living hell out of them and keep doing it for weeks. This will end any of their plans quickly.
Send in the troops again and the taliban may decide this time to make a fight of it supposing us to be toothless and stupid.
That’s stretching aquiline. It’s Roman.
He’s Hillary’s b*&ch. I’m surprised he got his nose out of her a#@ long enough for an interview
Unfortunately, he may be correct. I would not expect there to be many conventional forces, but more in the way of unconventional forces and air to kill terrorists in leadership positions.
Of course, that presupposes we have visibility into what is going on in Afghanistan prior. And that capability is pretty limited.
Oh geeez ,not him again. I thought he was gone for good.
Send Panetta, Liz Cheney, Lindsay Graham, and Mitt in the first wave of flights to this hot spot. /sarc
"Sitting on a park bench..."
Every war ends with more refugees (many of whom hate whites and/or Christians).
I remember Pat Buchanan writing against the proposed Iraq War in 2002. Buchanan said, "I sure hope Iraqi cuisine is tasty, because we'll have a whole lot of refugees opening Iraqi restaurants in D.C. when this is over."
Probably the long term plan all along. Military Industrial Complex demand their dues
Could that be the reason for this entire fiasco? keep war going for deep state...money
If we do, it will be because of (1) the deceptive way we undercut the Afghan military (closing all missions at Bagram), insuring the quick assent of the Taliban, and (2) all Islamists will flock to Afghanistan knowing how weak Biden has made us.
As much as everyone kept complaining about our missions in Afghanistan, there had not been a single American death in the past 18 months, and the Kabul airport bombing made that day the worst since 2011. And yet all we kept hearing was our lives were still carrying the burden in Afghanistan when in fact it was Afghan lives - 70,000.
Bagram should have become a NATO base, and the Taliban told we will turn Bagram over to the Afghan government when you, the Taliban, quit your war with them.
With Bagram up and running, the Afghan government would not have had the losses it did since Bagram was closed, and the NATO footprint at Bagram would still have been only about 2,500.
Has our “withdrawal” “ended” the war in Afghanistan? No. And it won’t, as long as the Taliban remain armed and determined to use force of arms to get their way. The most likely outcome is the muti-party civil war period during the last time the Taliban thought they were in power.
