lets just go we killed Osama its not worth any more US troops dying. Let the Afghans fight and die for that Country, besides that we are broke and need to stop spending the money.
I say troop withdrawals from all foreign soil now.The US has spent trillions of dollars over the past 90 years sending troops and occupying a hundred countries with little or no benefit to the US .Send our men home and secure our borders and protect the United States from foreign and domestic enemies.We've stuck our nose into other countries business long enough,No more we can't afford it. The days of supporting almost every country with troops and or billions of dollars should be over now.Spend our money in the U.S. first.Relief to America first. God Bless All Americans
The war in Afghanistan has been prosecuted "wrong-minded" from its beginnings in the 19th Century. The western military- whether British, Russian or American- has no understanding (or makes no practical use of it) of the tribes, the mullahs, the warlords, the History, culture or needs of the people who live there. Anything that could be done to further alienate the "hearts and minds" of the Afghani population has been done: allegations of Qur'an desecration in Guantanamo, allegations of drones miss-targeting civilians, recent burning of Qur'an, recent alleged killing spree, sidestepping Karzai, sidestepping local citizens/civil leaders, catering to mullahs and warlords... The list goes on and on, and we wonder why this crusade was a miserable failure. Taliban and Al Qaeda come back? They never left; they're folk heroes.
I think even hard-core military supporters have grown weary of Afghanistan. The end game is not being clearly articulated and even though the events of the last two weeks should not decide our course, they are hard to ignore and have put our troops in a precarious position. Let's wrap it up and get out.
Ya'll gotta remember, we can't leave the area completely. There's oil in them thar hills....besides, we get out of Afganistan, we might as well just move everything over to Iran. Israel is going to need our help...you know how that works. No way the U.S. is going to say no.....
Afghanistan has two rewards: a route for pipelines to deliver Russian oil and natural gas to the gulf and major deposits of minerals, especially rare-earth metals, copper, lanthanide and actinide elements... Despite the potential boon, mining, pipeline building and refining in a country as unstable as Afghanistan won't be happening anytime soon.
