Afghanistan is Collapsing. Get Out: dudes in bedsheets and flip-flops is kicking Uncle Sam's ass

Trying to nation-build with Afghanistan.

Doesn't get much dumber than that.

Should have stuck a King in Kabul, given him the guns and money to hold the city and told him to make nice with the regional war lords (bombing the shit out of any real problems).

And declared victory and went home.

That sort of lazy foreign policy is why we're in Afghanistan. It's not sustainable. It just pisses off the locals and they rise up against us, or turn to terrorism. It doesn't work.

And what we are doing does?

Nope. Why would you say that?

The only problem with that is that all 19 hijackers were Saudis. None were from Afghanistan. So why didn't we attack Saudi Arabia?

Go put your Saudi conspiracy theories back under your bed. We have heard them all and it just proves that you are clueless.

Conspiracy theory?

September 11 Hijackers Fast Facts - CNN

All are from Saudi Arabia or the UAE. One was from Lebanon. None were from Iraq or Afghanistan.

One of the pilots was from Turkey. Another few were from Egypt. Most were from Saudi. Not sure why it matters.

Zero were from Iraq or Afghanistan though all of the “muscle” hijackers trained in Afghanistan, the plot was hatched in Afghanistan, and of course OBL and KSM were based in Afghanistan.

According to that website I posted nobody was from Turkey or Egypt.

From the 9/11 Commission Report:

Jarrah’s girlfriend was Turkish born. He was born in Lebanon.

Not sure why any of this really matters; plenty were from Saudi. Afghanistan’s ties to the attacks are clear.

May want to read the post above this one. I posted the same information you did.

Funny how lefties get so confused about responsibility.

Bin Laden led the mass murder of Americans, and the government of Afghanistan of the time, refused to give him to US.

And you dismissed the deaths of thousands of Americans.

You are a vile traitor.

If you were anything but an indolent, lip-service patriot you would be going after George W Bush for not permitting an intensive and extensive bi-partisan inquiry into 9/11, and you would be going after all the FBI, CIA, NSA, GOP, Pentagon, Airforce, NORAD, and Airlines officials whose negligence allowed it to happen.

The Afghanistan government didn't have Bin Laden and could not give him to the USA. Nor, is it the practice of any government to "hand over" people without due process.

The government of Saudi Arabia was assisting and funding the terrorists ahead of the 9/11 incident.

Every USA administration official who failed to keep America safe was promoted after 9/11. Not one of the negligent officials was prosecuted.

George W Bush allowed planeloads of Saudis and others who might have been implicated to escape. This included Saudi Ambassador Turki Al Faisal who would have at least have had knowledge which should have been extracted. Nobody denies that the Saudis were assisting the 9/11 terrorists.

Donald Trump has also failed. He promised to expose hidden information on 9/11 but lied again and tainted himself with 9/11 culpability.

... Worse, from the royals’ point of view, was that Khashoggi had dirt on Saudi links to al Qaeda before the 9/11 attacks. He had befriended Osama bin Laden in the 1980s and 1990s in Afghanistan and Sudan while championing his jihad against the Soviets in dispatches. At that same time, he was employed by the Saudi intelligence services to try to persuade bin Laden to make peace with the Saudi royal family. The result? Khashoggi was the only non-royal Saudi who had the beef on the royals’ intimate dealing with al Qaeda in the lead-up to the 9/11 attacks. That would have been crucial if he had escalated his campaign to undermine the crown prince.

Like the Saudi royals, Khashoggi dissociated himself from bin Laden after 9/11 (which Khashoggi and I watched unfold together in the Arab News office in Jeddah). But he then teamed up as an adviser to the Saudi ambassador to London and then Washington, Prince Turki Al Faisal. The latter had been Saudi intelligence chief from 1977 until just ten days before the 9/11 attacks, when he inexplicably resigned. Once again, by working alongside Prince Turki during the latter’s ambassadorial stints, as he had while reporting on bin Laden, Khashoggi mixed with British, US and Saudi intelligence officials. In short, he was uniquely able to acquire invaluable inside information. ...

1. YOur pathological need to blame America for all the evil in the world is noted, traitor.

2. YOur excuses for the actions of our enemies are noted, traitor.

1. The USA created Osama Bin Laden to commit acts of terrorism against Russians in Afghanistan. He was a CIA employee.

2. When you bomb and shoot people, they bomb and shoot you back.

1. No, we did not. ON so many levels we did not.

2. We saved the Afghanistan people from genocide by the RUssians. Their behavior is protecting Bin Liden was unforgivable.

Saving Afghans from Russian genocide with US genocide?

Some genos need to be cided. The Neanderthals didn't die out; they were killed off. Only inferior people believe in racial equality. Feralphile multiculties have no excuse for their racial treason.

The born-rich hate and fear all other White people; that's what Limousine Liberalism is all about, absolutely nothing other than snobbery. Starting with the Kennedy scum, your leaders would have been losers without Daddy's Money.

They know it, too. Their desperate poses of superiority are all birth-elitist media presentations to make suckers believe there must be something justifying their self-confidence. All their attitudes are motivated by fear of being found out. Drum into them the truth about their sheltered inferiority and drive them to suicide.

The USA should never have got itself bogged in Afghanistan. There was no reason to attack or invade.

The USA is repeating the mistakes of the past in Afghanistan and it is possible that a major military defeat could cause the USA to cut and run leaving behind a horrific mess.

The First Coward Donald Trump is too afraid to visit either Iraq or Afghanistan.

"A bunch of dudes in bedsheets and flip-flops is kicking Uncle Sam's ass ... various nations have the economic wherewithal to spend $10s of billions each month to fund it all. And for almost 10 years we have pitted this unbelievable and unprecedented capability against: A bunch of dudes in bed sheets and flip-flops."

Afghanistan is Collapsing. Get Out: Now!

Somebody can't even conjugate "to be".
