Biden's Failing Afghanistan Withdrawl

[pknopp]

You do know that Pakistan and Afghanistan are not the same country, don't you? Pakistan is a US ally.

You know how that goes.......they are all brown people and should be controlled by us or destroyed.

I am very opposed to the US forcing change on people to make them adhere to our cultural, religious or political beliefs.

As we have seen, we can't anyway.

Let me know when the US military can run an oil camp.

Why would you say this?

Why would you say this?

They would far prefer that we are simply allowed to exploit their resources without a war.

Because its always been true.

We weren't trying to win a war; we were merely trying to maintain the status quo and let the locals solve their own political issues. That is the faillure, not our military; the military is constantly being misused in this fashion, as a police force and not a military force.

Our military was used as a military force in Iraq. That didn't work so well.

Sadly, Afghanistan is not our problem.

That assumption is so ******* wrong though.............wars have historically been very profitable for oil companies

Wars are very profitable for the war industry. Oil companies do very well in the aftermath but they do as well without them.

Wrong, but I understand commies have to lie and make up fake news, since they have nothing to point to except their own policies of mass murder as a solution to all their own economic and political problems and need the deflections.

Nothing you said addresses my post

We went in "full battle rattle". That was no police action. And failed miserably.

Failed how? We got rid of Saddam and his larvae. That's a big big win.
If you were a Kurd you'd also call it a big big win.
You do know who helped us beat ISIS in Syria and Iraq?

This is an editorial from the Washington Examiner, August 12, 2021.

By refusing to use overwhelming air power to blunt the Taliban's rise, Joe Biden is failing to protect American interests in Afghanistan and ultimately undermining national security.
