Commander in Chief Trump's speech last night was taken out of the recycling bin.
More troops, more threats against Pakistan, more talk of holding crooked Afghani bureaucrats accountable and more of the same. What happened to "America First"? Why are we taxpayers and parents expected to give more to a gruesome hole on the map that we've contributed to enough already? This president has yet to deliver any kind of major legislation. He has failed to achieve any of his major campaign promises and none of his actions since becoming the chief executive have in any way made America great. This presidency is a bad reality show with low ratings that is on the verge of being canceled. Turn the channel. |

Trump is a problem solver. He solves problems, believe him.
Pay no attention to years of him ridiculing the President and the Military for the ongoing war. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Afghanishell and its warlord society has been in constant state of war since war their history began.. There will NEVER BE a democracy there folks. Never, ever.....
they beat the brits, they kicked the shit out of the mighty soviet army. They dont WANT peace. They dont want education, war is all they ever will do. The problem is not solvable, they live in the 11th century and have no desire or intention to change. Its a waste of men, money, and materielle. Get out, NOW! ------------------------- It's a democratic hoax Edited: 08/22/2017 at 01:59 PM by nukeh2o |

Your assumptions are stereotypes nuke.
Sure it's a new nation that never had much unified "nation-ness", it's always been run by a collections of feudal warlords, like Europe was just a few centuries ago and like a lot of the world that hasn't yet learned that the consent of the governed and the rule of law is what makes a nation. Of course most people in Afghanistan want peace and education. (for men) And most of them probably want Iranians, Pakistanis, Americans, Brits and Trumpists (Russians) to just leave them alone and let them figure out how to get there. Foreign presence and attempts to drive them into one camp or another are what create more extremists, what made that place a mess, not some inherent flaws in the Afghan psyche. ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill Edited: 08/22/2017 at 02:59 PM by WG |

My son Mst. SGT USAF is there now. Been there 6 months. Comes home for 3 weeks in mid Sept, then back for another 6 months. He has lots of inter action with the locals. He confirms. ------------------------- So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers.

The price to win is higher than we are willing to pay. Therefore, we will lose, the only thing politicians can hope for is a chance to call it a win and get out.
But once again, trump was talking out of his ass for years on Afghanistan. ------------------------- “It is the heart of US policy to use fascism to preserve capitalism while claiming to be saving democracy from communism “ - Michael Parenti |

Yes, actually listening to Generals about a strategy is a bad idea! However a president making strategic decisions is brilliant! (LBJ and VietNam, Odumbo and Iraq/afghanistan) ------------------------- Romans 8;18-32 John 3;16-18 |

Well, it's usually a good idea, you are right. My counterexample is the Cuban missile crisis. |
