Why do we still have US service members dying in Afghanistan?

[Harpy Eagle]

Obama did not have to do those things because Congress gave the Executive branch an Authorization to Use Military Force....

Congress gave that authorization to BUSH after he WRNT BEFORE CONGRESS AND ASKED FOR THAT AUTHORIZATION.

One more time..here is the AUMF..it is still fully valid and in force...nothing has changed. Notice it does not say President Bush...

[Harpy Eagle]

Obama diddled around for eight freaking years and now democrats are impatient about Afghanistan after two years of a republican administration.

So, you are another Trumpian that is cool with our people dying over there?

3 US service members killed in Afghanistan blast

Army Ranger killed in Afghanistan likely was accidentally shot by Afghan soldier

In 3 months it will become the longest running "war" in US history and the outcome will be as meaningless as the war it will surpass.

There is no end game, there is no victory. The USSR found this out and we are too stupid to learn from their mistakes and deaths.

Trump needs to get our men and women the hell out of there...NOW.

Maintaining a world wide empire often requires the sacrifice of a few meaningless souls.

 

[Papageorgio]

We need to leave the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia and bring troops home. We are not the police of the world, we have to take care of Americans.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Why has your savoir not gotten our people out? Can you stick to the topic of the thread?

Just like with Obamacare, WHY do snowflakes like you demand on knowing why Republicans have not cleaned up DEMOCRAT MESSES?!

Have you forgotten...wait, of course not - you INTENTIONALLY leave out the part where your BOI Barry, in the midst of a war - in an attempt to keep a campaign promise of freeing Gitmo, freed the 5 top enemy generals / leaders in the war in Afghanistan - The Taliban 5!



Tell me what kind of sound military strategy it was, snowflake, for Barry to return the top 5 military leaders - who it took effort and the lives of US military men to capture to begin with - to the enemy forces?

The week after the 5 were released the Taliban went into the village that had helped the US capture one of the 5 and slaughtered every man, woman, and child in revenge and as a message to others.

Obama is ******* gone, get him out of your head and give him his rent back. Holy **** dude.

Trump was been the CIC for very close to 2 years...everything that happens there today is on him and nobody else. The troops are still there dying because Trump wants them there.

We're still in Afghanistan because that is where the GOP wanted us to be.

Period.

The dimturds had eight years to remove them,

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Here I thought that if there was one thing we could all agree on it is that US service members dying is a bad thing.

Silly ******* me! What was I thinking. Partisanship is far more important that the lives of a few service members.

The Republicans in Congress refused to remove them, you stupid amnesiac.

[Congress did not give Bush anything ,they gave the President of the Untied States the authorization.

Who was the President?
- Bush

What President was given the authorization?
- Bush

What authorization did he ask for?
- To go to war in Afghanistan and then into Iraq.

Democrats like Gore and Clinton lined up to give speeches about why / how Saddam Hussein had to be removed from power and how we HAD to go to war. The reason for going to war was made clear.....

Post me a link showing when the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER went to Congress and specifically requested to take the nation to war in Libya, specifically - making it clear - that his intent was to aid Al Qaida, who slaughtered 3,000 Americans on 9/11/01, to murder the sovereign leader of Libya who was helping the coalition fight against terrorists like Al Qaeda in Northern Africa and to then give control of an entire nation to that terrorist group!

Post me a link showing when the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER went to Congress and specifically requested to take the nation to war by INVADING SYRIA, an INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIME, making it clear, like Bush did, what his intentions were / why we were going to war each time!

AGAIN, BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA NEVER WENT TO CONGRESS TO SPECIFICALLY ASK OR TELL CONGRESS HE WAS TAKING THE COUNTRY TO WAR...SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE HE KNEW CONGRESS WOULD NEVER ALLOW HIM TO DO SO TO HELP TERRORISTS, EXSPECIALLY TERRORISTS WHO HAD SLAUGHTERED 3,000 AMERICANS.

AND IN STICKING TO THE THREAD TOPIC, BARAK HUSSEIN OBAMA ONCE AGAIN AIDED AND ABETTED THIS NAITON'S ENEMIES - TERRORISTS - WHEN HE RELEASED THE TOP 5 ENEMY LEADERS IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE OF CLOSING GITMO!

You asked...you got your answer.

 

[g5000]

Look at all the pseudocons acting as if they wanted our troops out of Afghanistan all those years ago. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Who the **** do you assholes think you are fooling?

 

[easyt65]

Silly ******* me! What was I thinking. Partisanship is far more important that the lives of a few service members.

Evidently keeping a campaign promise of closing GITMO was more important than holding onto the top 5 enemy leaders in the war we were fighting.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS, FAILURES, AND TREASON ARE STILL BEING FELT / FOUGHT...DUDE. Stop ignoring / ducking that FACT!

It is remarkable how not a single one of the Trumpians give a single shit about dead US service members. They do not even register a single "give a shit" on their meters.

I care. And like you I would like to see our people our of Afghanistan. Let the Taliban have that rock pile.

We've lost enough treasure in that god forsaken pit.

You asked...you got your answer.

Show us the link where Trump went to Congress to ask to bomb Syria.

And ponder this raging hypocrisy: Impeach Obama If He Strikes Syria

Speaking of Libya:

I can’t believe what our country is doing. Qaddafi in Libya is killing thousands of people, nobody knows how bad it is, and we’re sitting around, we have soldiers all have the Middle East, and we’re not bringing them in to stop this horrible carnage and that’s what it is: It’s a carnage.

You talk about things that have happened in history; this could be one of the worst. Now we should go in, we should stop this guy, which would be very easy and very quick. We could do it surgically, stop him from doing it, and save these lives. This is absolutely nuts. We don’t want to get involved and you’re gonna end up with something like you’ve never seen before.

Now, ultimately, the people will appreciate it. They're gonna end up taking over the country eventually, but the people will appreciate it, and they should pay us back.

But we have go in to save these lives; these people are being slaughtered like animals. It’s horrible what’s going on; it has to be stopped.

We should do on a humanitarian basis, immediately go into Libya, knock this guy out very quickly, very surgically, very effectively, and save the lives.

- Donald J. Trump

Yes, Obama was a ******* piece of shit, the 2nd worst POTUS ever.

But he is not the reason the troops are still in Afghanistan. That is on Trump and Trump alone at this point.

Here is what your savior said before winning..

Why are we continuing to train these Afghanis who then shoot our soldiers in the back? Afghanistan is a complete waste. Time to come home!

We should leave Afghanistan immediately. No more wasted lives. If we have to go back in, we go in hard & quick. Rebuild the US first.

Let’s get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train and we waste billions there. Nonsense! Rebuild the USA.

I agree with Pres. Obama on Afghanistan. We should have a speedy withdrawal. Why should we keep wasting our money -- rebuild the U.S.!

We have wasted an enormous amount of blood and treasure in Afghanistan. Their government has zero appreciation. Let's get out!


Yet we are still there!

 

[easyt65]

What's amazing is how you do nothing but lie, make up false narratives, and still have enough of an IQ to type and breathe at the same time....

Trump’s big (non)decision on US troops in Syria, explained

Post me a link showing where the GAME SHOW HOST went to Congress and specifically requested permission to keep our troops in Syria.

Why didn't Obama 'get our men and women the hell out of there'?

A better question, though, is why did Obama ever commit an International War Crime to illegally invade Syria without being asked by President Al-Assad to do so, without Congressional approval to do so in violation of the US Constitution, and why are we still fighting and having troops die in Obama's Syrian War?

You're living in the past again and yes obama should have gotten them out but this is 2018 the orange dumptard has been in charge almost 2 years so why hasn't he gotten them out?

 

[whitehall]

Obama diddled around for eight freaking years and now democrats are impatient about Afghanistan after two years of a republican administration.

So, you are another Trumpian that is cool with our people dying over there?

Barry Hussein diddled for eight years and everyone on the left was cool with people dying over there. The dirty little secret is that it ain't about people dying. The angry left is using Afghanistan as a political tool to try to goad the President into an embarrassing position before he has time to fix it.
