Where There's Smoke, Perhaps They're's Some Fire In Afghanistan

[image deleted]I'd commented here and there on posts that different members had posted regarding our great Afghanistan debacle, but as I sat back and thought after each one I read or replied to, I could only shake my head. I'd like to have seen Afghanistan succeed and gain it's feet, kick out the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, as well as see Pakistan receive a kick in the balls for it's harboring of them. In one of my replies earlier I had mentioned Ahmed Massoud, and how the Taliban needed him dead because he and his Northern Alliance really were that good at kicking their ass pre-911. Their natural fortress in the Hindu Kush mountains northeast of Kabul was never overrun, and ably defended by Massoud and his men. Sadly, Massoud was assassinated two days before the Twin Towers fell in New York, so his story was never really understood by the American public.
Fast forward 20 years on, everything seems to be fading to black, and with the great debacle underway, there is no hope....or.....is there?

At the end of the day, Joe Biden outed himself as a greater coward than members of the Afghan military that handed their weapons to the Taliban. They did so in fear for their lives.

It's important for the women and real men of Afghanistan to know who their fake friends are. It's also important for us Americans to know who our fake leaders are.

@Heartlander The sad thing is that the world does not care for Republican nor Democrat as to them, it is just America that has betrayed them. It will also be a lesson for other countries not to trust the American leadership anymore.

@msros Unfortunately, politicians in Washington and most state capitals care more about being a Democrat or Republican than they do about being an American. And that's destroying us.
