Again, Obama’s Colonialism of shoving our culture upon other societies.
Leftism destroys everything.
Everything.

Somehow I knew it was going to be Obama's fault.

Bush put us there, a massive occupying force, it was his decision and his decision alone, and nothing can ever change that.

Bush quickly lost interest in Afghanistan once he diverted his attention to Iraq.
Obama came in and tried to save it from the Taliban

He never should have bothered

Incredible American hubris to think that we could drag a 17th Century civilization into modernity when it had no interest in going there.

And look at what it cost us. Biden got us out. Good for him.

The 2005 Energy Policy Act was all about gearing up for war in the ME and other nations over petroleum and how the US was going to deal with shortages caused by those wars.

Bush had this vision of a Democratic Domino Theory.
Force Democracy on Afghanistan and Iraq and watch the rest of the region demand the same.

Bush thought it would be his legacy
He failed miserably

Obviously you have no clue what Colonialism is. Desire for a nation to build infrastructure is not it.
But demanding a foreign nation you control at gunpoint adapt your culture upon them is.
“Colonialism is a practice or policy of control by one people or power over other people or areas, often by establishing colonies and generally with the aim of economic dominance. In the process of colonisation, colonisers may impose their religion, language, economics, and other cultural practices.”

When did the US establish colonies in Afghanistan?

 

[Anathema]

The mission failed the moment it stopped being about carpet-nuking the entire nation even further back into the Stone Age and eradicating their entire population.
