Can We Please Just Get The Hell Out Of Afghanistan?

[Dr.Drock]

Republicans cheer George Bush's warmongering strategy, Obamabots cheered Obama up and down the campaign trail and now for his increasing the warmongering in Afghanistan and then you guys come on here and say to end the war?

How come your voting style doesn't line up with your principles with regard to foreign policy?

Every campaign trail I've ever listened to the people would cheer politicians when they marketed their version of warmongering.

The people who are gunning down their citizens for listening to music are the Taliban that Obama has just decided we should become partners with. You know..the same assholes that supported OBL. This is a trainwreck and not another U.S. soldier should die to try to build any type of nation that includes the Taliban as part of the government. And not another soldier should die because the Muslims can't be trusted not to kill those whose try to help them.

... that Obama has just decided we should become partners with.

The Administration is simply trying to make reason for why the US Military is involved in Afghanistan and is communicating with the enemy to do so.

The unprovoked invasion of Iraqi and the ensuing complete withdraw proved nothing at all and is the true example of futility.

... if you are going to invade a foreign land at least try and leave it a better place than why you invaded it.

Leaving it better would be leaving it with a rational government in place that respects all people. That can't happen if you include the Taliban as part of the government. Since it won't be possible to leave it a better place than we found it, we need to just leave it.

Yup.

Well, the one piece of "advice" from the previous Administration to fight them on their own soil is worthy of consideration and a plus for Obama to not just abandon a country (Afghanistan) in serious need of help.

- as in their citizens being gunned down for just listening to music, and the assholes that supported OBL.

Why? Isn't the whole idea of a WAR to DECIMATE the country you're fighting?

"Leave them better off"... that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Myopic incompetent Pubs and the silly dupes running from one stupib, hysterical extreme to the next...tahnk god for intelligence and no drama Obama.

Chickenhawks Raygun and Booosh have abandoned Afghanistan twice in the last 25 years, leaving it in ruins and a staging point for terrorists. Not again. Adults are in charge now, ADD dittoheads.

Adults? LMAO Obama doesn't show any signs of leaving Afghanistan to become a staging point for terrorists. He's putting the terrorists in charge while we're still there.

He's such a peckerhead.

Well said. We will come to deeply regret turning half of Afghanistan over to the Taliban. Blow Back will being blowing back our way at some point on that. It's a real mess. Time to bring em home.

Turning it over to the Taliban? They'd take it all anyway. This is the fault of Bush taking his eye off the ball and Obama is just trying to make the best of a bad situation.

He has made a bad situation worse. That's the reality.

How so? What could be worse than ignoring the place so that we're still there 10 years later?

Oh bullshit. This had nothing to do with anyone taking their eye off the ball. It has everything to do with trying to turn sow's ears into silk purses. We should have never tried to bring that stoneaged society mindset into this century. We should have leveled all Taliban strongholds when they refused to turn over Bin Laden and then reminded them that the next time they allowed a terror strike on the U.S. to be fomented there, we'd be back.

Then why didn't Bush get us out before starting on Iraq? If it's true now, it was true in 2003. Things don't change much in Afghanistan.

 

[HenryBHough]

But we ARE out of Afghanistan! There are are NO Americans there.

I know this because our so-called "President" promised that was among his top priorities to be accomplished before anybody found the bible that was missing from his coronation ceremony.

And he wouldn't lie about something like that, now would he?

I'm still trying to figure out why Bush put boots on the ground in Afghanistan in the first place. But, that being said, Obama is now the president and he said if elected he'd get us out of there. Is it too much to hope that he would do one thing right?

Perhaps it was because Osama bin Laden, the architect of 911, was there.

But after he decided OBL wasn't important anymore, why didn't we leave before going into Iraq?

Had we continued to rain hell from the skies, they would have eventually turned him over.

 

[sealybobo]

ITA... get our troops the hell otta the middle east... ALL of them... NOW... not later, NOW!

That's the ONE THING that I was hoping the kenyan would do, and he FAILED to do that. His failure as a president is complete.

What about Trump's failure? Biden got er done boy!
