Why are we in Afghanistan?

Tom Maguire has a good wrap-up on the debate. Why are we in Afghanistan? What would victory look like? If we can’t answer simply and clearly, why spend blood and treasure there (the number of US military deaths has doubled in the last 18 months)

Stanley McCrystal got out. Abdul Rahman got out. Why are we getting in deeper?

    2-3 nukes in december of 2001 in n around tora bora would’ve sent the right message to pakistan’s isi and the saudi and iran and saddam and ended the gwot right then and there.

    fdr and truman would’ve done it.

    bush was a lib wimp.

    what can we do now?

    simple: we need to declare the fata is no longer part of pakistan, then issue an ultimatum/deadline: evacuate in 6 days or be nuked.

    then we need to preemptively attack iran.

    and syria and hamas ands hizballah and kick turkey out of nato.

    peace through victory. victory through total war. the faster the better. and before iran is nuclear.
