Whether we stay another 14 months or 14 years will make no difference.
Islam is the problem.
Hopefully they didn’t watch last nights episode of “Homeland”
My sympathy goes to those few Afghans who want to step out of that 7th Century warzone lifestyle.
I have worked with some Afghan people. Some make good workers, just as with any group. Almost all Afghans I’ve met don’t expect to visit home again anytime soon. Most say they don’t want to anyway.
Conventional bombing did not break the spirit of the Japanese fanatics in WW II. So I doubt if it will break the spirit of the Islamic fanatics in Afghanistan now.
No, I’m not advocating for a nuclear option in Afghanistan. Neither am I advocating for leaving them alone when they start plotting against us again. So I suppose the only option is to add Afghanistan to the list of endless drone wars.
If they break promises, I suggest we take on the policy we started to have with the Iranian QUDS - eliminate Solemanie, then eliminate his successor, then his successor and pretty soon no one wants to lead the QUDS. It’s a death sentence. Without a leader they will crumble and be ineffective. Ditto ISIS, AQ and every terrorist group. That’s the preferred target for any sniper in combat - go for any leader can see in the scope.
Afghanistan has been at war for 40 years. They’re not afraid of getting killed, unless the US military wants to start resorting to genocide.
Leave them be to live in the 7th century since they desperately want to.
Spray the poppy fields -— no money = no bullets.
The “peace” agreement releases 5,000 hardened Taliban fighters that are POWs.
............
Tell me about all that peacefulness to come.

The current Afghan government is not a party......at all........to this “peace” agreement.
..............
Tell me about all that peacefulness to come.

Everyone, get this straight, this is not a peace agreement. It is just a truce to keep the Taliban from shooting at us while we pack our bags.
..............
It will be strictly an open killing season, after we’re gone.
They’ll be as peaceful as a fake Palestinian.
The taliban has already said the deal is dead after Paki said they would not release their 5000 talibanned terrorists!
Why can’t we just get the hell out of there andlet them kill each other.
Hey pakistan, how’s those NUKES working out for you? Is it time to send them to India where they will be safe:-)
