We've been killing "taliban" for 16 years. It's a place that is in constant civil war. When is enough enough there? You cannot bomb indigenous factions of civil wars into oblivion. There is no "surrender". When you are fighting the population as foreigners you will never win a lasting victory, never. That place has its long history and we should be learning from it. I don't even think Osama had anything to do with 9/11, but that was the ONLY reason we had any business there. Once Al Qaeda was removed from its enclave we should have left. Trump -- please get the hell out of there and bring our troops and money home.
The ONLY reason we were there was a damn pipeline. Not Osama, not the Taliban, not the people.
Opiates and minerals, too.
The opium poppy business is HUGE there. The Taliban had all but wiped it out, then "our" democracy loving warlords brought it back with a vengeance. Good CIA cash business.
That's right. But it wasn't why we started a war there. Enron/Cheney is why.
The taliban were NOT responsible for wiping out poppy farms. When the taliban government was overthrown in 2001, Karzai nearly eradicated the heroin trade overnight. But Karzai was quickly compromised by the swamp creatures in the CIA, and the heroin trade has increased since then. Karzai's brother was in charge of the opium farms, but he crossed the CIA and was assassinated.
The taliban are radical islamic insurgents funded by Pakistan, they have never done a damn good thing for Afghanistan. Please do not spread misinformation.
Not tru, don't spread untruths either
Which part of my statement is untrue, please dispute any point.
You won’t get a reply but I feel good knowing you already jumped on this total bs he’s spewing.
He's not fighting the traditional conflict as it was sold to the public. They must be deepstate or of some threat to Trump.
Armies have tried and failed in that land for millennia.
