FALSE!!! First of all, it is 14 year war (in Afghanistan) not 16.
Oh wow, imagine that? It's still longer than any war we've ever fought. It's still some bullshit war that we "decided" to fight. And its still a war you're so cavalier about putting our troops in harms way over bullshit, made up reasons that didn't exist.
And secondly, what we have to show is that we are here posting in this forum, instead of having been vaporized in a massive nuclear annihilation, years ago.
How was that supposed to happen when Iraq didn't even have anything close to a nuke, since 1993?
Obviously, even after 14 years,you still have no clue as to why US troops have been sacrificing their lives to save your ignorant butts. Apparently, this how effective the liberal media is at keeping their sheep ignorant, and in line with their distorted and dangerous mindset.
And you still haven't stated what we got in return. You just made up some WMD bullshit that has long been debunked as nonsense, you ******* asshole!
So here begins your deprogramming from all the liberal jibberish, and your education begins. There are 2 real reasons for the troops fighting in Afghanistan >>
But there is only one reason you're some psychotic, un-American asshole, who doesn't know shit from shinola.
1. To keep al Qaeda from using the loose, non-nation to conduct bomb-making schools, to attack Western targets.
The old harboring terrorist bullshit? Well, let me remind you, junior, the Afghan government offered to hand over al Qaeda's main man and we refused to take him.
And since we're on the subject of harboring terrorists and bringing down planes, do you know who
Luis Posada Carriles is? He's a terrorist who brought down a plane that we happen to be harboring.
And as far as "bomb-making schools", what do you think they teach at the School for the America's?
2. Most important - to have US troops nearby enough to rush into Pakistan, and seize Pakistan's 100+ NUCLEAR warheads, if/whenever its fragile semi-prowestern govt were to be toppled by jihadist forces. This is the difference between you posting here now, and being a pile of ashes 13 years ago.
How is our troops supposed to protect this country, when they are not physically in the country they're defending?
