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

Thoughts?

What "thing"? What do you see those troops doing?

Exactly what the aim of the current forces is

With fewer risks

And without the tail between the legs appearance.

The tail between the legs appearance is both more accurate than I care for and unlikely to be alleviated by that. It, too, will look like desperation by the American president and our leaving will be just as fraught.

White Supremacy, Hierarchy, and the Anti-Mask "Debate"

Just the type of quality result you can expect from any republican endeavor.

If republicans don’t outright steal your money, the waste it in the stupidest most racist way possible.

It’s why they are only respected and believed by the worst 24% of Americans.

White Supremacy, Hierarchy, and the Anti-Mask "Debate"

God is protecting good Christians from Covid. They are the ones participating in their churches’ vaccination drives.

The anti-vaccine crowd is failing the good Christian test, usually on a number of levels.

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.

Guessing some folks on the right won’t be backing the blue.

Your interpretation, not what I said.

Nice.

We need to help the people of Afghanistan to have a free and fair election to choose a real President and a real Government, we must not allow the Taliban to return to power at the point of a gun. We can go in with the United Nations, NATO, the French Foreign Legion, and with Spain, and others, and we can help the people of Afghanistan to have a free and fair election. We owe it to the troops who gave their lives in Afghanistan.

And I sent a post on Facebook to Alyssa Milano and asked her to please speak up and help the women of Afghanistan.

Salute,

Tony V.

To be fair, for a Trump construction project, above average.

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.

What do you think we have been doing for the last 20 years? "Oh, look! Spaniards! Now it will work!"

And I sent a post on Facebook to Alyssa Milano and asked her to please speak up and help the women of Afghanistan.

Alyssa Milano can succeed where all others fail! Thank God you wrote!

I have a friend who served in Afghanistan in the US Army, he said it was an unorganized mess, and he came back home with PTSD.

And we had contractors who only cared about money and who did not care about the people of Afghanistan.

We also had people who tried to grow cotton in Afghanistan and who tried to get them into honest business who were blocked.

AID and the Afghan Cotton Saga

Why would USAID not get behind an effort to turn Afghan farmers from poppy to cotton?

By Rajiv Chandrasekaran, August 6, 2012

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

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.

We need to speak up, and help the people of Afghanistan, failure is not an option, and allowing the Taliban to return to power is not an option.

It is time for a free and fair election in Afghanistan so that they can elect a legitimate President and Government.

Allowing the Taliban to return to power is not an option.

And the stars need to speak up in support of the people of Afghanistan. The people who support the people of Afghanistan need to speak up loudly, NOW.

Salute,

Tony V.

We had our chances to do tis right back in 2001 but we didn't.

There was going to be no graceful exit from this morass so it was best to just get the fuck out.
