One of the best things we ever did in our approach to WW2, is we went after the guys who were actively aligned and engaging in war against us. We didn't decide to end the reign of every potential despot.

The worst thing we did after bin Laden was declare war on terrorism everywhere. We probably could've convinced the Taliban to give him and his cohorts up eventually. Or at least stalled long enough to target a special forces attack on him in Afghanistan. I think we ended that process prematurely. Then for whatever reason had to go to Iraq where bin Laden was not hiding. The rest is history.

We'll just have to see if Gandler is right about needing to return in some manner. If the Taliban can stay in their lane and not do any serious f*****g with their neighbors, they may be left alone for a long time.

You have got to be kidding me.

Taliban boldly proclaims their victory will spread, Islamic law will envelop the world


No, you're the one who is kidding yourself. Literally, the Taliban are only where they are after 20 years because we left.

Aside from that, the Republicans will need more than, "do you want a Democrat Joe Biden getting us out of a foreign war" to run on. ....................
.


The difference is that most of the US military equipment will be left behind in the hurry to get out. The Taliban will be better equipped than they have ever been because of the panicked withdrawal complete with most of the US military infrastructure.

Other than possibly rifles and machine guns, not sure how universal more sophisticated weapons are, as far as resupply and maintenance. A tank is only going to last so long without critical parts. The planes won't be safe to fly for very long.

Quote:
Even if the Taliban captures working aircraft, it would be difficult for them to fly it without proper training, according to people familiar with these types of military planes. A trained pilot could fly it, but they would also need to be familiar with the bombs and missiles and know how to mount them and arm the aircraft. And, because the planes need regular maintenance, it’s unlikely the planes would be flyable for long, even by skilled pilots.

Still, to prevent planes from falling into enemy hands, the U.S. could bomb the aircraft or airfields first. Kirby declined to say what actions, if any, the U.S. military would take.


Wouldn't be surprised if there are already plans to bomb equipment.

Yes, because it we would have said how Islam is the problem the entire left would scream "ISLAMAPHOBIA! RACIST!"

Same lefties who have a cow over religion in western countries for some reason love Islam and defend it to the end.

I don't think that is true, I am more critical of Islam than most of the right.

I have said many times Islam is far more dangerous than Christianity. It is the most dangerous religion in the world (and that is saying a lot...)

Oh, please! Have you not seen how the left screams bloody murder any time it looks like anything to do with Islam is portrayed in a negative way? They even fought the travel ban from rouge nations. Even showing a muslim in a negative way on TV brings screams of protest.
