To keep Afghanistan from backsliding, US troops on the ground chasing Taliban, and the guarantee of American security will need to be there for at least 50 years.

This sounds like BS straight from the Obama WH. Ask the SF guys on professional soldiers if this is true.

Delusional. They will never be a stable nation with western troops, MASSIVE infusions of cash, and the willful protection of their giant opium trade.

No nation gets more cash from us than Afghanistan,,13 billion a year. Its utterly insane.

Imagine each state spending 260 million a year on nation building and bandit chasing in central asia.
