This begs the question if just what is our foreign policy in afghanistan

and hoo ultimately establishes this. In my cynical opinion our 19 year occupation is heavily influenced by the military industrial complex and it’s desire to profit. After all an unused weapon is a useless weapon. Sabbath sums it up rather nicely..... Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah

Despite Trump's utter incompetence, I have mixed feelings on this. -- HoosWillWin 03/11/2020 12:09PM

That's a fair stance to take, but if it is half as bad a deal as reported, -- Maupin233 03/11/2020 08:58AM

How long do we wait for the environment for a deal to get better? -- hoolstoptheheels 03/11/2020 09:08AM

US govt has to make the decision they've been avoiding for 19 years. -- Maupin233 03/11/2020 09:23AM

I partly agree. It's a bad situation and we need to exit at some point. -- RickPerry 03/11/2020 08:42AM
