Never been clear how a country that's a poorly conceived patchwork of about five distinct countries who don't like each other is worth soaking American taxpayers for two trillion dollars because of terrorists who can melt across remote borders whenever things get sticky.   

I'm sure there's a humdinger of a reason!

Funny how you kept your fears quiet during the Obama years.
Well Obama gave the thumbs up to killing Bin Laden.
Biden said no.
Compare Bin Laden to MacBeth.

Yep.

Ask Bechtel, Halliburton, Raytheon and the rest of the ‘Defense Industry’ if it was worth it.

As for Hefner,  he promotes a demeaning view of women,  and is about as much use to women's rights as Hitler was to Jewish rights.   


ummmm.......errrr.....

no.

Good for Bojack Horseman, not good for you.

no.

Um, er, yes.   I assume the Hitler comparison was meant as hyperbole,  not as a straight comparison.

Astonishing as it now must seem,  I don't post all my opinions here on this board.  My doubts (fears would be overstating) about land wars in Asia have been held since the early seventies.   As LB points out,  we have a welfare program for the war industry.

Obama called the Taliban a "JV" team.

We must not allow the Taliban to return to power.

The world needs to speak up.

I watched a guy on television from NATO and he does not support the Taliban.

We must not fear the Taliban, we need to stand up and remove them, and we must allow the people of Afghanistan to have a free and fair election.

I am sure that the world supports a free and fair election in Afghanistan. The world needs to speak up.

Salute,

Tony V.

Tried to defeat them...didn't work out well.
They won, COW lost, oh well...the mission to kill OBL was successful, that's something.
Joe should send the Taliban a text:

"If we have to come back to Afghanistan........"

Signed:
Happy (make me sad at your own peril) Joe.

A welfare program for the “ war industry”?
Boy  I bet that is special.

CNN reporter tweet about Pelosi.

“I asked Pelosi about the deal she reached with moderates when she walked off the House floor.

"What deal?” she responded. "They wanted clarification about how we go forward and that's what we did."

Yeah, I throw tantrums when Democrats do stupid shit but these 9 MMD flexed and slung a bunch of bullshit at the Speaker.

For what?

Make no mistake, they were carrying water for the multi-faced US Chamber of Commerce, and the other folks who don’t like the tax policies in the Big Fucking Reconciliation Bill. These folks figure if the bi-partisan deal passes the House right away then the big bill can be whittled down so that it no longer would be the agent of societal transformation. So Gottheimer took a shot.

Yeah... no.

Boss Pelosi treated them the way Michael Corleone dismissed Senator Geary.

[LarryBnDC]

“Much has been said about preclearance and thousands of discriminatory voting changes, but in the Shelby decision, the dissent was written by Justice Ginsburg.  And she noted in her dissent the Court’s reasoning in Shelby was nonsensical: ‘Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.’

Sadly, the Court has since continued that assault on the ballot.  So, H.R.  4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, would be a remedy to this assault and to restore the preclearance provision.”

I agree  with Kid on this.

I'd have skipped the temporizers.

George Lucas is an American, he can help to give ideas.

And we have Oliver Stone, I just love Oliver Stone, and he is French.

We need to go back in while we still have the airport, and we need to help Afghanistan to have a free and fair election, and we can help them to have a great peace-time economy.

A Princess can lead them to victory. But who is the Afghan Princess?

Salute,

Tony V.
