Obama's huge war build up against the Taliban has completely failed.


This is why we are dealing with it today.

Choice B was agreeing with the Constitution not the Taliban. Which of our states borders are we protecting?

No it isn’t. The Taliban never declared war on the United States. They’re simply fighting for control of their country. Something that is their right to do.
The rights of the people and nations in the Middle East don't matter to the war mongers. Hypocrits

Officially doesn't really matter. America "declared" war on Germany when we supplied their enemies. Germany "declared" war on us when they began sinking our supply ships to their enemies.

OK so we invaded to address those who attacked our country. They quickly fled to Pakistan but we did not pursue them. We stayed spinning our wheels in Afghanistan and concentrated on another useless war in Iraq.

Frankly I think he is right ( and I rarely agree with the OP). As I have posted repeatedly, Get out, stay out, Not just there but everywhere. Worse thing we did was help the Muj fight the Reds.....
