The White House announced that President Donald Trump would address the nation’s troops and the American people Monday night to update the path forward in Afghanistan and South Asia.
Poison their wells.
Defoliate their crops.
Dynamite every bridge, dam, and power plant.
And leave.
drop 100 MOABs and get OUT.
How long before we hear wag the dog from MSM? Or has it already happened?
Good. When we fight, we need to fight to win and keep it.
Are we finally taking their oil?
Neocons are back in charge. Endless war with no clear purpose. Bannon is right, “The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over”.
Nope.... saw 3 massive A/Cs just Friday on the way.... this is a long-term shop happening.
It would seem their Chinese-owned rare earth mines need some fortification.... from who, I wonder.
Don’t take any questions!
Address my tax cuts. Where are they? Address Ryan and McConnel. Ask that they be removed from office. Address the Wall. Where is it? Address the repeal of Obamacare. Why is it still law?....
Is it too much to hope that he places all the trannies, gays and women on the front lines?
Sad, but probably true. I'm still in denial, hoping there is a better spin to it. But there are no more true conservatives in postitions of influence.
McMaster and Tillerson are two of the worst. They would fit right in with Obama … oh, that's right, McMaster is one of Obama's boys.
” But there are no more true conservatives in positions of influence.”
Yep, not one.
“Good. When we fight, we need to fight to win and keep it.”
Exactly. I believe President Trump said either we are in the thing to win and if not we need to bring the troops home. The problem with Afghanistan is that it is home to radical Islam. ISIS is trying to set up shop. You have the Taliban and of course Al Queda is still around. That makes it difficult to just pull out.
“Neocons are back in charge. Endless war with no clear purpose”
Is radical Islam still in Afghanistan? Yes. Are they still hell bent on destroying this country? Yes.
Whatever they do if it doesn’t work McMasters is toast.
You think that’s the mission? 4000 troops will do it? Please.
