I'll ask again, did the Taliban attack us?

US law enforcement depends on this dope reaching its destination though, without it drug arrests, cash and property seizures, etc would decrease.

The drug cartels need US law enforcement and Law enforcement needs the drug cartels, they work hand in hand so they both benefit. DEA ensures all drugs remain as illegal as possible, everyone does their part.

All those who participated in the 9/11 attacks as planners or active participants, as well as those who harbored and aided them, are all either dead or captured, including the mastermind, Bin Laden.

We have absolutely ZERO business being in Afghanistan or Iraq.

We have wasted billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars for this nonsense, most of that money simply vanished with no accountability or trace. When you have so many people in America who need food and housing, that is beyond obscene.

President Trump, BRING THEM ALL HOME.

If you feel that strongly in favor of it, you should volunteer to fight in that war. Act tough instead of just talking tough. Fight the war you so strongly believe in.

One of the few times I'm in agreement with all you lefties. We shouldn't have been there in the first place, but we're long overdue to leave.


For those who think we can 'defeat the bad guys' by having a military presence there, you'd think 17 years would be enough to convince you otherwise. A sad waste of life, not to mention money.

He isn't the only one. Odds are high that the next president will continue down the same failed path and we will defend them.

If you do not know why we were attacked then I just don't know what to say. Please don't tell me that you think defending other nations borders and playing policeman of the world is Constitutional.
