    Default The Afghanistan Papers - Warmongering Obama's Trillion $ corruption scandal

    "Top US officials knew the Afghanistan war was unwinnable and 'lied' — even as costs rose to $1 trillion and 2,351 American troop's lives

    US officials have been lying to the American people about US failures in Afghanistan, where the US military has been fighting its longest armed conflict in history, a collection of confidential documents obtained by The Washington Post reveals. ... "

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    You MEAN BUSH'S Afghanistan FUCK UP! Apparently, no lover of books or HISTORY, he forgot that less than 20 years before AFGHANISTAN broke Russia.

    And, LET'S NOT EVER FORGET THAT BUSH WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, CHENEY WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, BOLTON WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ, RUMSFELD WANTED TO GO TO IRAQ. So they did! And MOVED money, men, machinery and 100% FOCUS TO IRAQ--from AFGHANISTAN.

    Since the start of the war in 2001, the US has sent more than 775,000 troops to Afghanistan. All told, 2,351 American troops have died during the war as well as 3,814 US contractors, according to the Post.


    who started that war in 2001 and couldn't get Bin Ladin?


    remember how pissed all you assholes were when Obama had us leave Iraq?

    I saw it on CNN. Obama and the CIA were the main architects funneling money to corrupt Muslims.

    I am not surprised by this report, there were a very few of us that pointed out that Russia flopped there, and it would be a money pit for the USA.
    I always thought Afghanistan should have been a special op mission, go in, get bin Laden and leave. I was criticized for that position. I thought occupying Afghanistan without an exit plan was a mistake, plus we further erred by not focusing on Afghanistan and invading Iraq at the same time. It cost too many lives and taxed our resources.

    because we had become entrenched

    we were still in Iraq at first and needed the access

    once we left Iraq we should have gotten out



    BUT


    we should have gone in and gotten OBL and got out


    why didn't Bush get OBL?????

    because they didn't want to get him


    it gave them an excuse to stay and build the march to IRAQ which they lied to the people and made them believe Sadam had something to do with 911

    I was always of the opinion that we should have accepted the Taliban's offer to put Bin Laden on trial.

    By 2009, a Taliban-led shadow government began to form in parts of the country.[119] In 2010, President Karzai attempted to hold peace negotiations with the Taliban leaders, but the rebel group refused to attend until mid-2015 when the Taliban supreme leader finally decided to back the peace talks.[120]
    In September 2014 Ashraf Ghani became President after the 2014 presidential election where for the first time in Afghanistan's history power was democratically transferred.[121][122][123][124][125] On 28 December 2014, NATO formally ended ISAF combat operations in Afghanistan and transferred full security responsibility to the Afghan government. The NATO-led Operation Resolute Support was formed the same day as a successor to ISAF.[126][127] Thousands of NATO troops remained in the country to train and advise Afghan government forces[128] and continue their fight against the Taliban.[129] It was estimated in 2015 that "about 147,000 people have been killed in the Afghanistan war since 2001

    gawd I agree..how did this happen??

    you are describing a "counter-terrorism" strategy.. go in and kill,and then leave,
    as opposed to a "counter-insurgency strategy"which is nation building
