Didn't the Soviet debacle teach us that Afghanistan can never be "defeated"


You could drop 100 hydrogen bombs on that entire country and still not "defeat" them.






Waste of time and money.

Talk about Clueless, Bush put us in Afghanistan or was that too far back for you to remember? That said Bush then promptly put it on the back burner so he could go attack Iraq, a country that was not a big terrorist supporter. Obama was the one that put the emphasis back on Afghanistan by adding more troops and getting that guy OSBL, the same guy Bush said was not all that important to get. We have been in Afghanistan for 16 YEARS, time to move on. But since you support more American Victims there maybe you should get on down to the recruiters office and get er done, believe me we will Still be there when you finish your AIT.

We consider ourselves superior to the Russians and apparently learned nothing from our own asinine war of choice in Vietnam.

I'd rather spend money on defense instead of supporting more more illegal immigrants.

And just WHAT threat does Afghanistan pose to the US that requires defending against?

I'd rather spend the $$$ on American citizens.

CA should raise taxes to help out their needy. Most of these people probably are welcome Sanctuary City refugees. They could go back to their home country.
