Afghanistan Megathread

[Horza]

I'm a Taliban supporter because I don't think our pointless twenty year occupation should instead be a pointless thirty or forty year occupation?

You think it’s in a better place in Taliban’s hands than ours. Is there any other way to interpret that?

Almost every country is in better hands with us than with their current leadership. We don't invade them all and occupy them for two decades.

Honestly, President Obama takes most of the blame here. By the last two years of Bush 43, it was clear to many/most that the Afghans would never be ready. Barry Smooth should have done this year 1 of his presidency, but he was shrewd enough to understand how petty and stupid the American electorate is, so he kicked the can down the road. Unfortunately for Sleepy Joe, he was the one left standing when the music stopped.
