We never should have gotten into the Iraqi and Afghanistan cultures. They don't want our boots on their soil as we wouldn't want a foreign presence in our land. This has been a US FUBAR for over 20 years. Many people died and insane amounts of money we dumped is awful. My youngest nephew served two tours of Iraq. He was a Corp man assigned to a marine company. PTSD followed him home.
We had to get into Afghanistan. That where 911 was planned and the Taliban threatened to let those murderers have free reign to plan further terrorism endlessly.
Lanny, Did we not learn from the Russians? Come to think of it, we did not learn from the French in 1965. We could have become stealth and hired assassins through the CIA, which, of course they had that specialty mastered. The second Iraq invasion was a lie, since weapons of mass destruction was not verified. Lets explore Mr. Chaney and his rogue ventures too. When you mentioned 911 planning, the Saudi's, who were regarded as being implicit in the operation, left the country without any questions. It's bullshit, left and right, under a demodratic party and then Republican. Both to blame.
I say we were taught that we would never again be the victims of a major terrorist attack from Afghanistan.
Lanny: There were people from over 20 countries that died then. Thus the creation of the Patriot Act. I still like my idea of a stealth force controlled by the CIA to initiate reprisals rather than the deaths and torture of thousands that experienced this shit.
I too like your idea but not as the only tool for reprisal. Our problem was that when when we asked the Taliban not to allow Al Qaeda to freely use Afghanistan as a spring board for further terrorist activities the Talibsn response was they would allow whoever they wanted to do whatever was desired including Al Qaeda. We spent considerable time trying to get them to change their minds but to no avail. We can not allow another 911 type terrorist attack. The side benefit is that women get some rights out of the deal.
AS long as there are Taliban roaming any region Women will not have rights. They are theocratic and barbaric when comes to women and girls.
I would rather listen to An inspiring President rather than a conniving business man that thinks only of him self. 'US leadership has been sorely missed.' Trudeau, Biden seek to repair alliance in first meeting (msn.com)
They are cruel animals. > Check out "Mosul" on Netflix. That movie changed my perception of the Arab world.
That we need cherities in this country is BS. That people use them as a way to ease their conscience over supporting hateful policy is a disgrace.
