Afgan has always been a shit hole, will always be a shit hole.
Bring them all home and apply high explosives from 30k as needed in the future. |

It's Bush's fault. He's only there for the mineral riches. |

This is one of those subjects that I've often wanted to comment on, but have refrained because I don't think I'm learned enough about the situation to defend anything I've got to say. Nothing in my mind (on this topic) would be guaranteed to withstand critical scrutiny, so I just sit and read.

Doesn't this qualify as a "kill em all" thread? Not that I'm complaining.
As to the premise, I agree on getting the grunts out, but we should leave the spooks in place wherever possible. |

Quoted: 70 fricking thousand posts that that's the best you got? Quoted: Drunk already? No. Waiting on the Mrs to get ready. There's a much more efficient way to deliver explosive energy to a fixed point in ashcanistan. I think I'm actually forbidden from mentioning it though. Plus glow in the dark heroin would bankrupt our new "national healthcare system." |

Fail. Can't run a country from 30k feet, no matter how many bombs you have to drop.

What are we fighting for? Democracy? That's a joke. I don't even like democracy. Look at these globalists we elected.
Fighting terrorism? They just move around surreptitiously anyway. |

I thought we were going after hearts and minds? Hahaha Afganastan is one of the things I've always said from day 1 that we were not going to succeed at. There is no way an outsider is going to change the minds of all those fractured tribes. These folks are literally living like cavemen and were not going to change their minds, no way. How does one propose we change the minds of people that hate you. |

Long odds there, that's for sure. We knew it going in.....or should have.
Think the AQ types could have hidden in Yemen or Somalia for this long...or some other place.?

Which mountaintop or rubble pile would you like to nuke? whoosh You could nuke Kabul, Kandahar, and Khowst, right now, kill mostly women and children and nearly all civilians, and the rest of the country's population would never even hear about it. The ones who did would simply use it as an excuse to bring the Taliban in and let them train up the terrorists to come blow things up over here. Sound familiar? Your position is ill-informed. Nukes are strategic weapons, and there's nothing strategic in Afghanistan to target. |

wouldn't bringing them all home ruin Obama plan on getting our soldiers killed off?
talk to a guy that just got out after 4 tours and he said his unit was 200 meters behind another unit taking causalities and they were ordered not to assist. also while on patrol outside the wire they ordered soldiers to get out of their humvees and walk back for chow now that is screwed up |

The Taliban harbored AQ in Afghanistan and they wouldn't give Bin Laden up after 9/11. We really had no choice but to go in. |

Staff is posting "Kill 'em all" threads now?
Does that mean it will be taken off the COC? |
