  1. 8:31 “withdrawal happened at the wrong time…” yea, we should’ve withdrawn 15 yrs ago 8:52. “Afghanistan should not be abandoned…” if the country can’t keep itself together, there’s nothing a foreign country can do, especially after 20 yrs. There’s no local will or motivation, just like Vietnam.

  2. Just like Vietnam. There was no local will or motivation to fight & win. The S Vietnamese, just like Afghani gov was corrupt & ineffective at keeping the country together.

  3.  @Evemeister12  heroin might have even been one of the reasons we invaded! But fentanyl replaced that

  4.  @PictureThisNewMedia  are you a troll? We all know Shia & Sunni hate each other. If they ever unite, Israel has a problem, no? They won’t let that happen& It’s too easy to manipulate Muslims into a frenzy.

  5. Just HOW do you change the culture?

  6.  @anthonylocke2889  Iraq was awful. We ruined that country and Rumsfeld Cheney & Bush should be at the ICC. Glad Rumsfeld is gone. Straight to hell.

  7. That’s too cruel. Bring them to the US. Their only mistake was believing in the mission & wanting better for their country. I’m glad Sima Sumar is in the US. She would be murdered otherwise.

  8. No they didn’t. They became the al-Qaeda. Taliban originate/supplied by Pakistan.

  10. Couldn’t agree more. We should’ve come home 15 yrs ago.

  11.  @PictureThisNewMedia  that’s exactly what the world sees in Afghanistan. The Taliban are not “Islamic” they are ignorant extremists even Muslims hate.

  12.  @PictureThisNewMedia  all I can say is; WAIT & SEE how women will be treated. WAIT & SEE how Afghanistan descends into poverty & fiefdoms. Child brides being sold to old men, yes, we know nothing of Islam

  13.  @PictureThisNewMedia  we do agree on one thing. The US withdrawal should’ve happened yrs ago.

  14. It was a mess before we invaded. UK tried, Russia tried, America tried. Nobody can fix what’s wrong there.

  15.  @AcornSmokes420  they got it! Aug 1! Let’s see how well women & children do going forward. But… none of our business.

  16. What a shame for Afghanistan. More concerned with tribal & ethnic superiority rather than keeping the country together. Not an American issue, leaving was 15 yrs over-due.

  17.  @PictureThisNewMedia  tell us how liberated Muslim women are? Ha ha, what a JOKE. No education, no health care, no rights. Keep it.

  19.  @PictureThisNewMedia  we are not talking about Syria, Turkey or Palestine. You prevail in a debate when your opponent starts calling you names. Thank you Earnie.

  20.  @PictureThisNewMedia  I just watched the News Hr on PBS, July 7th. Introduce yourself to a Tajik Muslim, Ahmad Massoud. He’s fighting the Taliban with all he’s got. His father was assassinated by Al-Qaeda 2 days before 911.
