6000 more troops and 6-8 months and we can get this thing done correctly.

Thoughts?

I don't think there is a "correctly."

It might see us able to get the rest of the folks who we ought to be evacuating out. It might not.

I think trying to do it after the Taliban has taken over our bases, the cities, and much of our weaponry seems hazardous at best and am unconvinced that is is fair or wise to ask of our soldiers.

Preferring to leave our people trapped there.....

Nice.

Your interpretation, not what I said.

Nice.
Also, no reason to think the extra time is needed to complete that mission, or that the extra personnel will help with anything except dick swinging image.

A good number of Americans, those seeking to re-route arms deals and surveillance tech contracts to the Taliban and those seeking to see how they feel about growing and processing poppies this time around among others, will choose to stay in country regardless.

Trump may send one of his sons to see if he can get a hotel going somewhere near Kabul.

-------------------------

We should have helped Afghanistan to have a good peace-time economy, and good women's rights.

Some people just wanted money, and they did not care about helping the people of Afghanistan.


The American Way.

This is not good.


Taliban Threatens Joe Biden:
Stay in Afghanistan Past August
and Suffer 'Consequences'


Less than 8 days from now and we still don’t know how many Americans are still there.
The Taliban threatens no extension past August 31.
Biden and Company need all the help it can muster to avoid a  calamity that could cost American lives and destroy his presidency.
All politics aside we need him to succeed in this.

We need for the Pope to speak up, and the leaders of France, Spain, NATO, and others, and the United Nations already said that they do not support the Taliban returning to power.

England and France fought against each other for 100 years in the 100 Year War, and they never gave up until France finally won.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years%27_War

20 years is nothing compared to the 100 Year War.

And all of the stars need to speak up. If Jimmy Stewart was alive, and John Wayne, and Gary Cooper, and others, they would be raising hell in support for Afghanistan and they would not allow the Taliban to return to power.

And Hugh Hefner did a lot for women's rights, and for the world, Hef did a lot of great things. And the magazine is not the same without Hef.

And we should have done what was right, such as getting them to grow cotton and to have a good peace-time economy, regardless of the protests of people who do not understand.

Salute,

Tony V.

I think she's a great performer.

Milana Vayntraub uses Mint Milano as a name on one or another social media. I would post her picture, but then Tony would be writing to her, too.

Playboy has always been a favorite magazine for the troops, I am sure, and the soldiers have always had pictures of pin-up girls.

America is great, we really are.

And Alyssa Milano has been a fighter for a long time, fighting for women's rights, and she needs to support the women of Afghanistan. All of the women who are fighting for the rights of women need to fight for good human rights for the women of Afghanistan.

And the Bible says that when I became a man I put away my childish things. As we learn and grow and become civilized then we put away things that are uncivilized, we learn and we grow, and when we learn new and better ways then we put away the old ways. As we educate and teach the people of Afghanistan new ways, then they need to put away the old ways.

Salute,

Tony V.

I think Tony's on to something. But in my humble opinion we need the strength and stealth of Opus Dei, and the Illuminati to bring civility, Christian values and cotton to the savage anti-Christ monsters of Afghanistan. The Knights of Columbus with their all you can eat spaghetti dinners, casino nights, and raffles, might be helpful in funding this venture.
