We also handed most of their country over to the drug producers and the former communists.

We also abandoned their country to the Taliban when some support might have helped turn the corner. Instead of a little support to help them, we handed then over to the Taliban. Then we had to go in and deal with them.

We also used them to fight the Soviets for us. It's no wonder they get offended by us farting.

Heck many are arguing we should abandon them again.

Back to the OP, we were watching Newshour last evening and they showed a scene inside a mosque. You know where all the faithful are banging their heads on the floor, It was then that I realized why the Afghans have this aversion to farting.

Can't.

Afghanistan is our base of operations for attacking Pakistan.

Talk about going full circle. Pakistan was our base for attacking Afghanistan, and now Afghanistan becomes our base for attacking Pakistan. Wunnerful, wunnerful.

Kinda like the rat in the roundhouse looking for a corner to shit in.

Now I can appreciate you don't quit 10 yrds form the finish line, but I don't see a finish line.

But I'm in Bugtussell and not the Pentagon.

But I do know one thing. If the USA can't go out and stomp a mudhole is someone's ass in under 10 years, then we're doing something wrong.

It's time to change tactics and spare those young soldiers who are now on their 2nd or 3rd tour.

That is unconscionable in my estimation.

I think most folks feel this way. Change tactics and get done or get out. Either way, just get out.
