Anyone Here Think We're EVER Getting Completely Out of Afghanistan ?

From yesterday:

Well, it's official: We are now the Roman Empire, complete with our very own version of its British garrison. And if you answered the above question in the affirmative, then contact me right away, 'cause I can get you a FANTASTIC deal on the Brooklyn Bridge!

1. Well given that we have military bases in over 100 countries in the world

No I don't think we are getting out soon. What I object to is sending troops to do nation building and all out wars. A few thousand troops protecting our embassy and the like does not seem outrageous. The afghans are starting to get their stuff together and are now doing the actual fighting.

2. Never. Between the geography and the natural resources, our industries will never let it go.

This is Obama's "War on Terror" fraud now.

3. The one thing that we know for certain...

... Is that we certainly don't know all the facts and details.

Could it be the fact that next door to Afghanistan is a psychotic country possessing nuclear weapons ? And we just have a few concerns about this ?

We rabble don't know jack, and tbh I don't think I want to know either !

And we wonder why his hair went grey to quickly heh

4. I seriously doubt Bush invaded Afghanistan to protect us from Pakistan's nukes n/t

6. Sorry, I was not clear..

My reference is to why the hell we persist in that forsaken land...

[ancianita]

5. Nope. We're in the permanent business of supplying 95% of the world's heroin for drug companies.

[uhnope]

7. you kind of undermine your point with silly hyperbole like

"it's official: We are now the Roman Empire"
