Those two examples worked...well, that was my point.
To put a more exact point on my first post, if we determine a particular ideology presents such a threat to our national security as to warrant use of our armed forces, we should be prepared to remain on site so long as it takes to replace that ideology. We should leave other squabbles to the UN.

I don’t think we had to worry about precluding Russia’s occupation of Afghanistan. That had been tried before.

War crimes?
Bet this doesn’t even make it to the front page of the NY Times for one day, let alone 30 days as the Abu Ghraib scandal did.

That was my point - we never tried to replace that ideology. It wasn’t a matter of time, we never started.

I am so stinking glad that the Idiot in the White House and GWB went to war, pulled them out of there, turning both the Afghanistan and Iraq nations back under muzzie control and killed over 5,000 additional US military personnel for absolutely NOTHING. Just like the stinking war I fought in, Vietnam. 58,000 plus dead, for nothing, absolutely NOTHING. I am sick of it.

Done two years ago. He set up the Taliban “offices” in Qatar.

I thought I read ISIS just moved into Afghanistan and has declared jihad on the Taliban.

Actually, when I referred to the elements matching up I was thinking more in terms of Iraq where I have some direct experience (and none in Afghanistan). Further, I was thinking of a generic bad guy rather than a specific aggressor as was more clearly the case with Japan and Germany.
Frankly, it may be too soon to decide Russia has no intentions re Afghanistan and it may also be a moot point. See Iraq and Syria. Arguably, the ME is the center of a chess board in a number of regards.

Is there some reason they’re referred to as the Taliban and NOT Muslims?
To: VideoDoctor
Muslim refers to any follower of Mohommed. The Taliban is a certain group/network of Muslims pursuing Jihad (effort for allah - i.e. spreading Islam). Others are ISIS, Hezbollah, Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR, ...
This graphic and link better illustrates:
THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS THE MOTHER SHIP
CAIR, ICNA, USCMO, AL-QAEDA, ISIS, ISIL, HEZBOLLAH, ..., ARE SUBSETS.

“Kandahar International Airport”
A scary phrase in and of itself. I wonder, if we have a bunch of burkha-clad female TSA screeners at our airports, do they have blondes in bikinis at theirs?
