It's totally incoherent.

An unknown 'secret' deployment time timetable for an build up of in country forces. As to how this helps us not being "waited out" by the Taliban, who live in Afghanistan, no one can say. There was some tough talk on India and Pakistan. There was some meaningless, "we aren't democracy building, we are going to kill bad guys." talk as well.

Globalists +1 ... but this is going to be a shit show at the hands of Trump.
America -1 ... we have no plan to achieve anything good in Afghanistan as far as I can tell.

With all the media restriction and alternate media Trump has set up

Please say more about this.

Trump's media restriction?

You mean like Google and Cloudflare and Godaddy making it impossible for anyone to get to sites they choose to censor?

Awesome. I love Pakistan being pissed. It's a terrorist country that's been sucking us dry for too long. Pakistan needs to be controlled, and their nukes taken away.

I say we just kill off the population of Afghanistan that can't be quickly brought up out of the stone age, even if that is almost the entire population.

23   HEY YOU   2017 Sep 23, 9:05am  

BREAKING NEWS!
Obama or Clinton aren't President.
Democrats aren't in charge of CONgress.

It's Republicans fault!

Or, better, get the fuck out of Afghanistan and let the interested parties (India and Russia) deal with it themselves. I do not see a reason why one should meddle in those parts of the world.

On a side note anyone else notice Harvey and Irma are so much yesterdays news and nary a peep on the news now.

Sure glad those recoveries are over and everything is back to normal

Current gas prices suggests that at least some refining capacity is back up and producing.

That would solve a lot of problems, but lets do the same with the rest of the stone age dwellers. I recommend Saudi Arabia go first.

Bravo. We have accomplished nothing in 15 years. We will accomplish nothing in another 115. Afghanistan is an endless proxy war between Pakistan and India we should have never stepped into. We should have let the Taliban prosecute OBL, which they were willing to do, and if we were not satisfied then made a decision on the next move.

Kind of early to be drinking, isn't it?


I don't think thousands of brave dedicated young Americans killed, tens of thousands wounded or handicapped for life, and billions of American dollars wasted is a subject for humor. These are real people thrown into a meat grinder by draft dodging chickenhawk neocons like bush, cheney, and rumsvelt because their pride was hurt and they wanted a big military victory going into the next election.

What have we got to show for it other than opening the floodgates for cheap opiods to pour into the country? Nothing.

We learnt that Pussy Presidents are not tough enough to take on cold blooded terrorists and rogue countries like Pakistan who fully support terrorists. We need guys like Trump to get the job done.

You beleive this draft dodging chickenhawk president is going to do better than the last draft dodging chickenhawk president? How do you arrive at this amazing conclusion?

What is Trumps plan for taking on Pakistan? I haven't seen it yet. Can you link to it? Will that be before we take on Korea, Afghanistan, and the entire middle east of after?

Simple. Our enemies NK, Pakistan, Iran, and Venezuela hate Trump. They loved pushover Obama. They would not hate Trump so much unless he was ruffling their feathers.

You expect Trump to reveal his plans to our enemies and the world?

I like Trump's tough ass kicking approach better.

It flatters the ego of some men when their wives send them to take the trash out. But is it rational. Acting based on sunk costs is not rational.

The truth is there is no benefit of being there: the Talibans are just in one place vs an other.

Best thing would be to declare victory and leave. There is a long tradition of leaders doing exactly that.

Trump doesn't have a plan for tomorrows breakfast.

I'm a very big fan of Nathan Bedford Forrest's philosophy of git ’em skeered, and then keep the skeer on ’em. In your face is the way to go.

Every time a president says trust me I have a secret plan it turns out they were lying. The pattern isn't going to change with trump.

Our allies hate trump too. Are we going to war with Australia and NZ also? Is there a secret plan?

Our allies hate him for different reasons. Our enemies hate him because their free ride is now over, while some of our allies hate him for backing out of the Paris agreement. I hate Trump for that too, but I love him for kicking our enemies, who all abuse human rights, in the butt.

anonymous says
Does this mean it is okay then for our "allies" to abuse human rights as long as they support our wars, buy our weapons, publicly support our bullshit foreign policies etc. and they sell us their oil ?


My dear friends.....there is nothing better than getting our enemies to kick each others butts. When the dust settles, all we have to do is kick the last butt standing.
Do you want to pay $1trillion for each butt we kick, or do you want our enemies to pay it?

I personally don't care much. What's more important right now is who can subdue our enemies? If Charles Manson was the best man for the job, I still wouldn't care.
Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we ask criminals and gang members to help us with terrorism in exchange for lighter sentences and money? We can turn our criminals into an asset.
