So all the hundreds of Billions of our tax dollars are beginning to actually work? Instead of disappearing into the pockets of the corrupt military & politicians over there?

The Afghans are fighting an enemy that operates by traditional rules that go back to Alexander, who slaughtered* all the men, and sold the women and children into slavery, after he captured the Persian capital Persepolis:

https://www.livius.org/sources/content/diodorus/alexander-sacks-persepolis/

9/11 was the first time I had really thought about Afghans in decades. What I know is that the Taliban sheltered and trained al Qaeda. And the people running Afghanistan today fought the Taliban.

Some see Afghans as vermin, undifferentiated mud people in the mold of “the wogs begin at Calais”. Way I look at it, a Taliban government will provide shelter to terrorists plotting to kill American civilians, unless we exterminate the Afghan people. We won’t even kill known Taliban on sight if they’re not carrying weaponry, let alone their kin who hide, feed and supply them, so how are we going to kill every single Afghan? So I root for the side that is killing the Taliban. Anyway, this is what awaits anti-Taliban Afghans if they lose:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battles_of_Mazar-i-Sharif_(1997%E2%80%9398)#Recapture_and_massacre_(August_1998)
[At 10 am on 8 August 1998, the Taliban entered Mazar and for the next two days drove their pickup trucks “up and down the narrow streets of Mazar-i-Sharif shooting to the left and right and killing everything that moved — shop owners, cart pullers, women and children shoppers and even goats and donkeys.”[31] More than 8,000 noncombatants were reported killed in Mazar-i-Sharif and later in Bamiyan.[32] In addition, the Taliban were criticized for forbidding anyone from burying the corpses for the first six days (contrary to the injunctions of Islam, which demands immediate burial) while the remains rotted in the summer heat and were eaten by dogs.[33] The Taliban also reportedly sought out and massacred members of the Hazara, while in control of Mazar.[31]]

* Ever wonder why guerrilla warfare was seldom a problem for past conquerors? Now you know. Slavery was actually a step up, from a human rights standpoint. The adult men of the defeated nations got to live, instead of being killed on the spot.

Joshua 6:16-21 

16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[a] to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”

20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city. 21 They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.

 

 

23 Joshua 7:23-29

23 But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.

24 When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai in the fields and in the wilderness where they had chased them, and when every one of them had been put to the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and killed those who were in it. 25 Twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai. 26 For Joshua did not draw back the hand that held out his javelin until he had destroyed[a] all who lived in Ai. 27 But Israel did carry off for themselves the livestock and plunder of this city, as the Lord had instructed Joshua.

28 So Joshua burned Ai[b] and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolate place to this day. 29 He impaled the body of the king of Ai on a pole and left it there until evening. At sunset, Joshua ordered them to take the body from the pole and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate.

Expect the fighting to increase in a last ditch attempt by the Afghan government to get us to stay.

#6. Obama, oops, Osama bin Laden killing equipment. Gives our allies the ability to fight at night on their terms, not those of the enemy.

The guy on the left looks like he auditioned for the “Short Circuit” robot.

Generation Jihad Ep. 1 - The U.S.-Taliban Withdrawal Deal
Mar. 17 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HB71HMlSwI

Hosts Bill Roggio and Tom Joscelyn review the U.S.-Taliban withdrawal agreement. They discuss why it isn’t a true peace deal, the Taliban’s ongoing alliance with al-Qaeda, and how the U.S. never dealt with Pakistani duplicity in America’s longest war.

Generation Jihad - Ep. 2 - Wishcasting in Afghanistan
Mar. 24 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9s3hDwNR44

In a follow up to episode one, hosts Bill Roggio and Tom Joscelyn explain why wishful thinking in Afghanistan has led the U.S. to portray the Taliban as something it is not. True peace is not on the horizon. Meanwhile, Al-Qaeda views the U.S.-Taliban deal as a boon for the jihadists’ cause. Al-Qaeda’s affiliates are already attempting to use the agreement as a framework for gaining legitimacy elsewhere.
