Only_ Posted December 21, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Quote Trump orders major military withdrawal from Afghanistan as Mattis departs ''President Trump has directed the Pentagon to come up with a plan to withdraw nearly half of the more than 14,000 troops deployed to Afghanistan, U.S. officials said Thursday, a move that many of Trump’s senior advisers and military officials have warned will plunge the country further into chaos.''

RoofGardener Posted December 21, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The US has been in Afghanistan for.. what... 17 years ? If it isn't stable by now, then it is inherently unstable, and nothing we can do will change that ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anybody that believes the US went into Afghanistan to find bin Laden, who was killed in Pakistan long ago, should take off their primrose glasses and get a grip on reality. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the point that the USA attacked, Bin Laden WAS in Afghanistan. But he scarpered pronto ! So do tell, EoT, why DID the USA go into Afghanistan ?

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted December 22, 2018 #9 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The US went to Afghanistan for the same reason everyone else went there, control of the region. they lost for the same reason everyone loses - the only thing the local tribes hate more than each other is foreigners. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor Witness Posted December 26, 2018 #11 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) The roads in my community are in such a bad state of repair that major highways have holes everywhere. The rapid decline of “all roads” suggests to me, the end of Rome II. The real enemy, right now, are not afar, but those sitting in positions of power here at home. Let it be revealed, who the real enemy is now, Mother. Nunc, the worst weather in a thousand annum, to upend what’s left of “no roads.” Edited December 26, 2018 by Raptor Witness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeon bro, a large percentage of Trump supporters believe JFK Jr. is alive and helping Mueller and Trump take down pedophiles, of COURSE he believes the Osama videos were all fake.

OMG....you really don't have any clue about what the CIA is capable of and actually do on a daily basis do you? The videos were CIA plants...with message instructions embedded in them. Or not. With the CIA...you just don't know really..ever...for sure. They are slicker than oil on an icy sidewalk. Its what they do. But that's just my belief...partly because I WANT to believe that Osama was killed in Tora Bora by a MOAB...and partly because...I don't think the guy could have escaped it. Then, I believe, when it was politically expedient for Osama to actually ...die...the CIA killed him off. And I believe that because....they never even showed a picture of dead Osama....buried him at sea....very 'no proof' kind of CIA stuff. But...the story becomes history and that's that...I just don't believe the story...but...it really doesn't matter because it cannot be proven one way or the other.

If they can make a fake video of a live Osama Bin Ladin, why can't they fake a picture of a dead one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
