Any Taliban that was literally next to an AQ leader would die as well. We didn't need to occupy the country; killing the leadership was all that was necessary.

Why do so many people throw around that "nuke" stuff around all the time as if it's even a possibility.

On the other hand, you're right...GET OUT.
I have a compromise solution. Get out, then nuke them. France can do it, they have nukes. There is nothing stoping them.

Yep.

In 2001 something as simple as a well placed weaponized Ebola would have cured all the problems within a week or two without loss of a single additional American life. Hey, the terrorists hiding in the mountains got all sick and died. Probably something they caught from the sheep.

Huh? America created the roots for Al-Quaida in 1979 in Pakistan. State sponsored terrorism is the invention of the U.S.

I say leave them alone in all Islamic and let them continue to kill each other....It is what the enjoy doing...If we are lucky they'll wipe each other out...

“Some 11,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 35,000, or 0.3 percent, died during the sixty years of fighting Israel, or just 1 out of every 315 Muslim fatalities. In contrast, over 90 percent of the 11 million who perished were killed by fellow Muslims.” https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com...ing-muslims-2/

Exactly...

Just as everyplace in the middle east is a sewer of ignorance, intolerance and mindless violence.

Our involvement in any of those crapholes just makes us stink.
