Pakistan views the USA as their personal ATM. If there is no unrest in Afghanistan, the Americans leave and take their cash with them.
Biden and Obama have fed the Paki’s, tripling the US aid to the corrupt Paki gov’t from the Bush years. Obama raised the Paki aid to $1.5 BILLION a year. If the Haqqani network gets taken out, we leave, and the cash stops.

Thanks, War on Drugs, for hyperinflating terrorist profits.

With a "State Department" as blind, corrupt, and obtuse as our State Department, we don't need a State Department.
We could just as well hire the United Way or ESPN for half the cost and get more done.
